New first time MB owner

Hi All,

Picked up first Mercedes yesterday.

A lovely red C300h Sport Premium Plus estate.

loved the colour, we seem to have a thing for metallic red cars with black trim.

I like to to tinker with things, every car I have ever owned I have retrofitted all sorts of bits, have access to various diagnostic tools makes this a little easier.

Spec:-
Distronic Plus
park assist
Heads-Up
lane assist
Burmester speaker system
memory drivers and passengers seats
Speed limit camera thingy
large screen satnav with COMAND online.
blind spot information.

can anyone tell me if I can retrofit the “active lane assist” and active bloke spot etc? Seems everything is there except the switch for steering assist? It steers itself into parking spaces, it brakes when I get too close to someone with the cruise control on etc.

Would also like CarPlay support if possible.

ive tried plugging my iPhone in and selecting it in the media menu when Spotify is running, but it keeps saying “activating device” forever, is this just something it cannot do?

would like the “diamond grill” if this is an option?

350 camera, is this an option I can fit?

last on the list, motorised swing down towbar, this would take priority!

Anyway, if anyone can point me in the right direction to any interesting retro fits etc as I would like to get started on this soon.

Is there some diagnostic equipment that is affordable that I can use to tweak any features?

An Adblue gauge would be really handy!


Our first ever MB, a C300h
