Just got off the phone with the SA. Now he tells me he should have something to tell me by Thursday.
Told him I'll be picking up the car today.
Have a few more thoughts on this clusterfook, but I'm reserving them for when I pick up the car.

Piked up the car, had a chat with the service manager, but I could see from his body language that he gave zero fuvks about my complaint.
Oh well...

So annoying. Are there any other dealers locally?

Leave them reviews everywhere you can leave reviews.

No, they're the closest.
The next closest one is an extra 40 minutes away. Should have just gone there, but wanted to save that precious 40 minutes... oy...

Indeed, this is true. Wanted to give this closer dealer a chance, since I bought our 24 GLE 63 Coupe from them.
Have a call in to the SA of the other dealer. Let's see if he calls back. :/

Perhaps, but I don't really feel the need to redline that V12 dinosaur. Port Injection shoulld take care of any carbon deposits. Also debating whether or not I want to do Water Meth like I had on my CL65.

Double posting... Oy...

Heard back from the other dealer's SA. Asked me what my schedule was like, told him I was open this week, gone for 10 days or so after. He asked "How's Thursday sound? I have 8, 9 or 1 pm. I'll mark you down as a waiter and I'll get it in as soon as you arrive".
Confirmed my preferred time, and all was set.
I might even get this guy some of our company swag. Yes, it's sought after swag.

I hope so as well. Had them do a tranny flush a while back as well as an ABC suspension module reflash. Only sore point with them was the tech being under the strong impression the entire ABC reservoir has to be replaced when doing a fluid flush because the filter is built-in. Obviously, that is not the case and he acknowledged being wrong once I showed him how easy it was to get to the filter.

Ok, people! Wish me luck! Heading south into the "big city" to take the car to the dealer I should have taken it to in the first place.
Hopefully the tech can figure something out with my front USB module.

Fuse in the pass footwell.

Tech happened to have a good fuse, replaced it, and USB connector works.


If you're having issues with your front USB module, and you found a coin or foreign material in the SD clot like I originally did, you might want to check this fuse.

Remember, the first dealer didn't even get to put the car in the shop after 6 days.

That just proves not all dealers are created equal again.

Good to hear they got it OP.

In all electrical problems, the first place to look is the fuses, and/or circuit breakers.

I did scan with Xentry, but didn't make the correlation with the rear module setting a code, while the front didn't set any codes. I was focused on the front module. Apparently, both USB / HDMI modules run off the same fuse.

Either way, seems like @trigital was right. Should have checked fuses.
