Does anyone know, when adjusting the volume on my car audio COMAND system how to make the system show you the level that the volume is at.

i adjust the volume now and there is no indication anywhere on the media screen

im assuming it's a setting that needs to be altered.

Any advice would be great.

There is no indicator anywhere
One of my pet peeves also.

Jamo1

that's unbelievable. Such a basic thing to add too!

It was the same in my 2013 Audi A5, I never thought it would have the same problem in what I thought was a premium product in the Mercedes Comand!

The damn CLA has it, and on the non multimedia version, to boot.

My car shows volume adjustments on the screen. I have CarPlay,, and don't have multimedia.

Jamo1

there was no Car Play option on the C63S

You are correct that it is an option, but also note that you cannot choose the Smartphone integration package AND the Multimedia package together. I think most of us have the Multimedia package, and therefore consider the smartphone integration as "not available".

Chigs

Thanks for the info.

Notice that Strafe1 already mentioned that.

Jamo1

absolutely. Smartphone intergration is not available here on the AMG models but is on the standard c class models. Go Figure!!!

Also Apple CarPlay didn't become an option until MY2018 I believe.

I know it's a minor gripe, but while we're on the topic of the volume control I figure I'll go ahead and let it out.

Each press of the volume button on the steering wheel changes the volume level way too much. I push the button twice, and it goes from basically silent to too loud to talk to my kids in the back seat. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the point.

i totally agree! That in conjunction with not knowing the level of the volume is a real pain.

Although who needs music when you have a better soundtrack coming from the rear!

That's what she said?😂😂😂

Why is it a problem not being able to "see" the volume level? Surely your ears do what is needed...I don't get it.......

I think it’s smart that the steering wheel buttons adjust volume faster than the dash knobs. MB minimizes the time you’re mashing steering wheel buttons rather than holding the wheel properly for driving, so they have it adjust quicker. I can’t stand other cars where I’m there pushing the steering wheel buttons over and over and over to get the volume where I want.


Also, who needs a graphic to show them what the volume is!? If it’s too quiet, turn it up. If it’s too loud, turn it down. Can honestly never say that I’ve thought “oh wow, my volume is 12, is better turn it to 16!”

I agree with you 100%. Plus, each input (Bluetooth, USB, different songs) are all different source volume's anyway.
