My 2017 B250 is out of warranty by 7 months and 2,000 miles and the dealer says it needs a new motor (electric machine) with an estimate of over $20,000. Where did you get it done for 8K?

This looks like a pretty good deal. $500 for a 30amp 240V charger with delay, plus $100 in Blink credit (if you can use it). I cannot talk to the quality of the charger...

Mine does not lock. I had sort of hoped it would.

Although I can see why you would want to defeat it, I actually think this is a great feature. I was thinking I would need to do this if I ever needed to use my charger in a public area:

@ClassESage I live in Southern California. It was about 70 on my way into town and about 75 on my way home.

My GOM always predicts at most 70 miles on a full charge without range extension and E/S set to E. Yesterday I needed to drive 61 miles round trip. I have the range extension, so I used that when I charged and drove very gently with E+ and D-; the climate fan but no heat or A/C; and mostly...

My connection issues have disappeared as of sometime around 1/19/2015 and I am much happier with the app. They still can't get my time zone right, but at least I am always able to get in and the climate trick gets me an immediate sync. [Edit: The climate trick is to just go to the Climate...

My salesperson sent me a black lightning to USB cable with a Mercedes tag on it.

My salesperson sent me one. It's black with a Mercedes tag on it - USB on one end and a newer Apple connector with a 90' bend on the other end.

I have not found the media cable that is on my car's list of options. It could be it walked off at the dealer and I need a new one.

I also saw what was in the manual. I was hoping that maybe there was a way to just use the element within the windshield.

I also have not found out how to use the electrically heated windshield. The max front defrost button seems to only activate the AC (to dry the air) and a heated blower on the front windshield, which defrosts or de-fogs from the bottom up, unlike an electrical heater that initially cleans up...

My sales person and I activated at the web site with a Mercedes code. It has worked a couple of times, but mostly fails with the connection error message reported above.

For a while I thought it had something to do with my Android operating system on my Galaxy S5. I was able to use the MyBClass.mbusa.com web app successfully on my Win 7 computer with Chrome, once I allowed pop ups, but now I am having the exact same problem with Chrome on my PC.

Whenever I try and use the B Class web app I keep getting "Connection error You will be logged out since the server is not responding as expected. Please log in again." The app worked once or twice, but now I just keep getting this message. Any ideas what is causing this? Extreme load on...
