I just printed out the VIN decoder for my new (to me) 2013 C250 Sport.
So......where do I find out what all of these codes mean?
For instance......
165 production location vehicle south africa
1U2 snow grid
494 US version
508 Navibox preinstallation
523 radio audio 20
803 YOM12/1
Just a few of the codes. Where can I find out what these codes mean?
Many thanks from a new member!!

I've got the easy ones:
I just printed out the VIN decoder for my new (to me) 2013 C250 Sport.
So......where do I find out what all of these codes mean?
For instance......
165 production location vehicle south africa your vehicle was assembled in MB's East London, South Africa factory.....
1U2 snow grid
494 US version ...with left-hand drive for the US market....
508 Navibox preinstallation ....my limited research seems to indicate your car came prewired for the "Becker add on sat nav box" which may be a UK dealer option for a separate module in the glove box.
523 radio audio 20 basic radio head unit, no COMAND, no multimedia, with a CD drive and a touch pad. If you're interested, I found a video showing how to add Apple/Android CarPlay functionality, below.
803 YOM12/1
