My embrace has been setup, made the "get acquainted" call etc. Let me try your suggestion, probably when near a good cell coverage (my house is not one of them) and if it doesn't work, let me call them which I'm afraid they might not have a good support :)

MB needs a car with Ctr+Alt+Del to reboot ;)

Thanks for the suggestion, I bought Clipper Creek HCS-40P and had it installed yesterday with no issue. I took me last night almost 2 hours to charge 50% of the battery, which took me the whole night with 110.

I had to use iPad to initiate the registration. I have a PC with Win7 and Chrome version 33 (whereas their website says "Google Chrome ab Version 22.0") and it didn't work. I don't have iPhone, and I tried different phones, finally I was able to do it via iPad. So now I'm registered and able to...

You must be talking about the MyMercedes Electric Vehicle Homepage :) Yes it took me 2 days just to figure out that it works on my iPad2, and this is just to register for the first time! And still I have no luck on how to sync it with the car.

Are you talking about the red triangle for the "distance warning" located directly above the "Display for the condition of charge of the high-voltage battery"? I've seen that pop-up once and disappeared when I was going down the hill on the freeway (405 S after Mulholland bridge) using D[Auto]...

So far, I haven't regretted yet and I'm aware what I'm getting into. I think we live close by, pm me if you want to check it out before you ready to order. I'll be happy to meet.

False alarm! I got there and I was introduced to their Service Manager and he said the fix is not available yet. He showed me the letter from MB dated August 12 that mentioned this specific issue. There is no specified time yet for the fix, but if the warning is not showing up anymore (which...

FYI. I was going to post yesterday but I wanted it to make sure everything is resolved before posting it. I had my warning pop up last Friday after 250 miles, and since I read this before, I wasn't freaking out. I called my dealer and he said he's going to check with the service. I stopped by...

I just want to update, I got the Becker Map Pilot module and it was an easy installation. I used it on the way home, and yes, it's not worth $600, comparing to a nice Garmin that is less than that price. But I'll take it for free ;) I saw icons of the charging stations, I'll check more the...

It wasn't listed as an option for B-Class ED, and that what the dealer thought in the first place. He corrected it today. Yes, I also think using Garmin is still better solution. I argued for it since it's free (i.e. standard) and I don't want to be an issue at the end of the lease when the...

Thanks for the tip, I was going to make the call today, lo and behold, the dealer called me and apologized. He said, I was correct and apparently the module was still on the way and should be there this Saturday. They got the car just about 3 weeks ago, so everything was new according to him. He...

Becker Map Pilot supposed to be a standard (not optional) feature, according to MB web site. Apparently my car doesn't have the glovebox-mounted module, when I found out that the navigation doesn't work. I contacted my dealer and he said it costs me $600 to install it. I thought this doesn't...

I wish all the explanations out there can be as informative as these ones. Thanks for the separate meter info, I thought it was good idea plus the rebate, but probably not such a good idea after all. Plus I wanted the plugin unit, instead of hardwired one.

This is great stuffs, I really appreciate it. I'll read some more when I get home. The Siemens model makes sense, Clipper Creeks products that I want don't have the delay feature.
