Is this really some huge challenge for automakers? I could have sworn I had album art appear over BT on a rental Ford years ago
Album art works natively on Bluetooth audio for me using Spotify, I guess it depends on your music app.

[QUOTE=guido3;6671962]The comments on wipers prompted me to do a quick search, and I soon learned that my auto vocabulary did not include the term wiper "service position" as described in the link below. Now, a review of the GLC OM is is order to find instructions for wiper service position.

Here's the only thing I could find..

How to Replace Your Mercedes-Benz Wiper Blades

  1. Replacing the wiper blades on your Mercedes-Benz is a simple task that can be completed anywhere. In most cases, the wiper arm base will be tucked under the edge of the hood preventing you from pulling it up and away from your vehicle, making it difficult to replace the blade. To make the wiper blade replacement process easier, we suggest turning your vehicle's ignition on and briefly running your wipers. When the blades are sweeping across your windshield, quickly turn your ignition off, stopping them mid-swipe. You should be able to now pull the wiper arms vertically away from your windshield, allowing you to easily access the blades.
  2. Look for a release tab or button where the arm meets the blade and press or release it. You should be able to now gently pull on the wiper blade, sliding it away from the arm. Most wiper arms use a hook shaped mechanism to keep the wiper blades attached, while on many newer vehicles you'll find a simple adapter system.
  3. With the old wiper blade removed from the arm, simply slide the new blade on and listen for an audible click sound, or if necessary, close the supplied release tab. You may now place the wiper blade back down onto the windshield, and turn your ignition back on so the wiper blade returns to its off position

Actually I find this annoying..... I find myself trying to time the wipers in the 'parked' position when I park the car!
My last non MB car would automatically 'park ' the wipers if the car was stopped mid cycle!

Can you check something? Activate Media in your instrument cluster and see whether album art works there.

on the GLC 300 the wiper arms park themselves below the hood line you can't pull the wiper arm out in a upright position without banging into your painted leading hood edge.. . you can lift away a bit to pull blade off but hell a lot easier on a up right portion with two hands free..

Maybe this has been mentioned previously as a niggle/complaint......

How can the 'kick to operate' rear trunk/boot lid be so difficult to operate and indeed useless!!

I saw this feature listed on the quickstart sheet and just assumed it was model specific because it never worked lol. Is this supposed to be standard?

I have to say, this feature has never failed on me. It's the best implementation I've seen yet out of all the car brands I've tried. And I use it every time I want to open the boot. You know, because I'm trying to touch as few surfaces as possible these days.
Which year model is your GLC?

My kick to operate works perfectly every time too - keep keys in pocket and just a straight forward and back kick in the center of the car - works great to close it too! - 2018

My 2020 works very well however the dealer advised me when I picked up the car that you must kick quickly. If you kick slowly it does not open. Hope that helps.
