We wanted to try Sound Drive on my sister's 2023 EQE which I think has eligible MBUX (2nd gen or later). But I don't think it's been released yet.

Does anyone know when Sound Drive will be released? And how to update MBUX to get it? (We fiddled around with car system, Mercedes Me App, and Mercedes Connect Me App but couldn't figure it out.) Thx!

I have a 2020 GLC43 and this has happened twice now. When I’m stopped at a light and take foot on the brake and hit the gas pedal, the car doesn’t move but the engines revs as I’m hitting the gas. I check and it’s still in drive mode and not parked. I have to hit park and then shift to drive again before it starts going. What could be causing it? Do you think the brake assist system is still being engaged or something? Going to cross post this.

Looking for recommendations on Mercedez SUVs. I'm liking the GLC 300 so far. I don't want to buy new from the dealership due to price. I'm thinking of buying used from dealership for piece of mind knowing that it has been thoroughly checked by the dealership. Which year do yall recommend? I was considering 2019 or 2021 GLC 300 but open to any SUV from mercedez. Also, does Mercedez ever offer deals on buying used certified suvs?

I need your help to open my car. Let me get straight to the point:

1. My battery is either disconnected OR empty. I loosened the screw on the negative cable but let it sit on the contact. It may have slipped away while I was working on the car.
2. The emergency key does not fit in the trunk because the lock was replaced by a previous owner with a used part that does not match the keys. I can not open the trunk with my emergency keys, they just don't fit.
3. The passenger compartment is open, I just can't open the trunk. The emergency key does fit on the driver's side.
4. I don't have folding rear seats, I can't acces the trunk from inside.
5. I own a W211 Sedan, which doesn't have a positive terminal under the hood. Only the S211 wagons have that. Seems to be misinformation

I guess the only way to access the car is to bring power from somewhere else. I could apply +12V to the alternator. BUT: If the negative cable on the battery is disconnected, will this work?

Last but not least: I am an amateur. I need a fool-proof instruction like you would describe the steps to your mother.

I hope I can get my baby open again without actually breaking into the trunk with force...

The pinion gear seal has gone bad and is leaking diff fluid. In an effort to save a few bucks I decided to do it myself. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve at least gotten the diff unbolted and the shaft partially out.

Here’s a list of the stuff I’ve removed or loosened to achieve this so far:

• passenger side axle removed
• front to rear drive shaft unbolted
• support plate for steering rack
• serpentine belt removed
• alternator moved out of the way
• air intake box removed for space
• exhaust heat shield removed

In separating it from the engine I’ve run out of space to pull it out. On the bottom and right (closest to the axle) sides it’s being blocked by the subframe. This is causing me to run out of space to pull it from the intermediate shaft allowing me to fully get it out.

On the top it’s blocked by the motor mount that is also blocked by the header.

My question is, is there a trick to getting this thing out without removing the passenger side header and engine mount?

Probably gonna post this in a few other subreddits to see if anyone has any ideas. At this point I haven’t found a good reference to help me solve this via google/youtube so hope this works. Thanks in advance.

2023 GLC 300- What do you think this should cost. I got an estimate of $3200

The lease deals caught me and the brother in law. EQS 450 4matic (front) for him and the EQE 350+ (back) for me. Not the prettiest cars but very practical for us with toddlers, and great range.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a new daily driver. Either a 2013 or 2014 S-Class, but I cannot decide whether the cleaner interior (ambient lighting mostly) and exterior on the 2014 is worth the extra few grand. I haven't driven a 2013 yet but I can't imagine it coming close to the 2014 just by the pictures. To get the true luxury experience, which would you say is better?

To all those in the Mercedes community 😁

Does anyone have experience using a Fidelity 3rd party warranty at Mercedes dealerships in the US?

When we bought our ‘18 E400 wagon, we extended the ELW warranty as long as possible. It’s going to expire this fall, though, and I’m not interested in being exposed to five figure repair bills.

Source: just got a $12K Mercedes-rebuilt transmission installed in our GL, paid for by a different 3rd party warranty company.

Anyway, I was hoping redditors might be able to relate their own experience with at Mercedes dealerships, particularly any difficulty getting repairs approved or claims paid, or on the other hand descriptions of positive experiences are also welcome.

I have a 2013 SL 550 and 1 of the plastic gears inside the seat track has sheared. I cannot find a replacement.

this car has the dynamic seats with vibration. I don’t need the entire seat or bottom just the metal track that connects to the floor of the car.

I’d imagine an S class probably does. But do any other models use the same metal seat track?

what I’m trying to do is find it at LKQ and salvage the broken pieces into 1 single working unit. Thanks!

Hello all, My W177 A200 got the update for the infotainment system yesterday, it has since not moved from the downloading icon and it's been approx 33 hours since the update started.

I have swung by my local Mercedes dealer just to ask and they said it isn't something they control as i's an OTA update, which while I appreciate, it's a bit rubbish that the infotainment screen and features are all now not working due to being stuck updating.

If anyone has a work around or a way to get it to finish the download that would be great!

For context, I was supposed to buy a 2011 Mercedes e350. I visited the car and everything look and drove great and shook and hands with the owner on an agreed price. He said that he will drop off the car at my house and I’ll give him his check. 2 hours later he sent me a text that his wife changed her mind and was having a meltdown about selling the car. Gotta love Facebook marketplace lol.

A now am looking at a 2015 c300 with 62k miles dealer maintained. Should I get this and are these reliable?

Took a slightly different route than usual into work today... it paid off when I saw a fellow M112 W211 :)

We have a month left on a GLC lease, have excess wear insurance and are planning to buy out the lease.

We bought the key/wheel coverage from Autoxcel, which includes minor interior and exterior repairs, but never used it. Now, with a month left, I’m wondering how to claim for a small upholstery tear and a bumper scuff.

Do I just drop into a Mercedes dealership/service center and let them handle the whole thing, or do I need to book an appointment/service request? Or call Autoxcel first for pre authorization?

We have a new GLE an an old Liftmaster garage door opener. The opener box in the garage has a "learn" button on it, which worked fine for programming a non-mercedes car we have. The GLE only seems to have instructions for programming using a remote though, and we no longer have a functioning remote. I've tried every combination of pressing the "learn" button and the buttons in the car, but it won't program. Any idea?

Hey guys, ok so I'm pretty new here but I just needed some advice on my first 123 purchase. ok so it's this 77' 240d that's listed on my local Facebook marketplace, and I was just wondering if it would be a smart decision to buy it, with the only caveat being that the guy is saying that it won't start, and he thinks it might need a new fuel pump. Sooo I'm really unsure, like its only $3500 so I'm willing to bite the bullet and just go for it, being how notoriously reliable their engines and transmissions are, but still, I'm unsure guys, and honestly any advice would help a bunch :) . ohh and I also included a screenshot of the listing as well.
