    Rattle

    I went to home depot and I purchased a can of foam. I squirted t]\it up above the seat after pealing the door seal away. As far as I know it was still working when the car was totaled.

    Rattle

    My 2014 had a rattle. my 2017 did not.I fixed it by squirting some nominally expanding foam there. I felt the dealer would not find anything.

    Lost key

    Many locksmiths can clone keys. You might call around. They are typically cheaper . than the dealer.

    How many Amps?

    The only way to test this is to have a 59A evse and not tell the pilot to use 40A. Otherwise the car will limit itself to the pilot setting as per the J1772 STANDARD. You need enough current and you need to allow the car charger to set itself... To me it is not worth it. That said my current...

    Adding CarPlay to a 2015

    It sounds like you only need a firmware flash. I hope you find a knowledgeable dealer. This car is truly an orphan. My Ioniq is another orphan. Oh well, So far I am happy with the car.

    Next EV?

    I went from the B to a Hyundai Ioniq. I was just into the Mercedes as an EV. The prestige was lost on me. tThe first was my 2012 Leaf. I will pay list but no added ADP..

    How many Amps?

    By the way both of the Mercedes dealers I have measured had 30A EVSE's at 208V. The pilot was set to 30A and that is what you get.

    Service Manuals

    I purchased the software also. It is not like a dedicated manual. You need to know what part you are booking for.. To me it was useless.

    Owner suggestions on buying an 2014 B -ED

    Make sure it has the range extender option. It was stock in 2015 plus cars but it was an option in 2014. I purchased the only one out of ten cars with it.

    Annual Battery Certification No Charge- Mercedes Nanuet, NY

    The charge is year dependent. Indeed a 2014 is free. I was told but not verified that my old 2017 B was chargeable.

    How many Amps?

    My OpenEVSE has a current meter. It usually said 40-41A so the car will charge at 40A@240VAC. By the way, my 40A EVSE charges my IonIq at 28.5A. If enough current is available the car sets the current. Any excess is ignored.

    Adding CarPlay to a 2015

    I based my recommendations on a unit with anakog inputs. It sounds like the 2015 has digital inputs. My 2014 had analog inputs. My 2017 had digital inputs. Your 2915 ? Maybe you are lucky and the module will add Carplay.

    Long drive in the MB b250

    Yes but it is 3K plus install. That would pay for a lot of miles. Check EBay for cheap transport companies. It cost me 900 dollars from Miami to Anaheim.

    I love this car, all naysayers be damned.

    The IoniQ forum is so dead I still watch this one.
