    Annual Battery Certification No Charge- Mercedes Nanuet, NY

    No I didn't as I got distracted dealing with the dealer's service dept and forgot to return to this forum (had other issues going on). I was also out of town for a week. I did go to the dealer and showed them the appropriate pages out their own Warranty and Service Manual. This caused the...

    Annual Battery Certification No Charge- Mercedes Nanuet, NY

    Thanks for the tip, I found the information on page 23 of the Service and Warranty booklet. My next step will be to contact the Service Manager for the dealership and have a conversation with him so I don't get jerked around again when I it bring it in. Thanks again, JP

    Annual Battery Certification No Charge- Mercedes Nanuet, NY

    Can someone explain this Annual Battery Certification issue? I just went to the dealer for our first annual maintenance activity (10K miles) and they said there wasn't any Annual Battery Certification. Are they wrong? Is it maybe state mandated (I'm Calif.) instead of federal or manufacturer...

    Carpool stickers on leased BCEs

    Has anyone had any issues with putting on CA carpool stickers on their leased BCEs? Not sure if any leases are even ready to be turned in since the car is so new (1st model in 2014) so I don't know if anyone has had to deal with this yet. Thanks, JP

    TOU (Time of Use) rates with electric co

    We have a TOU meter from LA-DWP (City of Los Angeles). We have not had it long enough to really qualify it (DWP bills bi-monthly) but it appears to have reduce our billing significantly. We expect to have more billing information in another month and be really able to see the difference. Based...

    Video input on 2015 model w/o MM package?

    We have a 2015 model without the MM package but we haven't tried to add any additional video input. However, our car does have a backup cam so I'm not sure that I would ever look into it.

    Best EVSE 240V charger

    I went through this same evaluation when I bought our EVSE and the UL listing may or may not be a big deal to you depending on your city location. Originally I ordered a Juicebox for the same reasons as above however when I found out it was not UL approved, I had to return it. The City of Los...

    Toll tags and Heated WIndshield

    Sorry I didn't respond sooner but we left town right after Xmas and this is the first time I checked the forum since we got back this week. Sounds like you resolved the question but just for the record, no we do not have the heated windshield. JP

    Toll tags and Heated WIndshield

    I've used my Fastrak in my Class-B without a problem. I just threw it up on the dash ahead of the steering wheel and didn't think anything about it. I know that when I drove in the lane previously, and did not have the transponder (we share just one), I did get a citation letter. Since the...

    Radio software upgrade wipes out the whole system

    OK, an additional two hours later and it is done (total 7 hours). Everything seems OK, can't really see any difference. As mentioned above, I feel that the slow speed bump (little throttle hike at break time) seems better but I've only driven a couple of miles so far. We've never had the...

    Radio software upgrade wipes out the whole system

    I'm sitting at the dealer's waiting on both the "gateway" (as specified in the recall letter) and the "radio" recall. They surprised us on the radio one as we were not aware of it. We been waiting for it to completed for over 5 hours (the gateway upgrade only took an hour as advertised) The last...

    Ask Me Anything You Need To Know - B-Class

    When we leased our B-Class back at the beginning of June, our dealer indicated that navigation system was extra. However, the following week while rereading the spec sheet off the car, I notice that the Garmin system was now standard on the 2015 models. I checked with M-B USA and they said the...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Dumb question but I've been reading the posts about this problem of the car losing power while driving over the last couple of months. We bought (really leased it) our 2015 B-Class at the end of May, beginning of June. We've put over 3,000 miles on it and have not had a single problem with it...
