    Radio software upgrade wipes out the whole system

    What a bummer! My command system works better after the upgrade. The local dealer had never even heard of the B-class much less worked on it but all went well thankfully.

    Train dealers on how to provide VVC!

    Passing along a little info I got, sorry if it's a little redundant. "There are several ways to get the VVC, but it has to come from the dealer who sold you the car. I couldn't get a hold of the general manager of my dealership, so I contacted the Service Manager. I gave them the following...

    User Errors

    I missed that too! Only noticed after a few months when I wanted to top up on the go. When scouting 110v/120v outlets try to find one a close to the electrical panel as possible. There can legally be 8-10 outlets on each breaker. Depending on the electrician the last outlet might need the...

    MB electric website

    I just noticed both emails get sent now when charging after the recall updates. So you can get an update, i.e. Car is 50% charged or whatever) and full charged notice! Getting better slowly.

    Check if RECALL applies to your MBe

    We have 2 booster seats and one front or rear facing seat. We just looked for the least bulky models and then bought seat belt extensions to make life easier. The two boosters on the outsides worked out best. There is not much room to Spare but everyone fits.

    Check if RECALL applies to your MBe

    Ours goes in Friday. We have needed to reboot the car twice. Warning lights only. I don't want to use a full charge and the time to drive back to the selling dealer (MB of Smithtown) so I am bring it to the local dealer (MB of Southampton). The local dealership hasn't worked on car before so...

    Seat memory

    Thank you!!! I never held down the button, I figured it just did mirrors. Thought is was lame like the Navi and voice command. It does make sense though. If seat is set way back and you have a rear passenger it's nice that it doesn't auto crush them :-)

    Home 110V outlet charging malfunction

    Since the charger works else where it is a problem with the circuit you are using. If you are only planning on using the supplied level 1 charger I would ask your electrician for a 20amp dedicated outlet. If you want it to work longer ask him/her to use a GFCI breaker instead of a GFCI outlet...

    RANGE NOT AS ADVERTISED

    Zipzapzoom, what kind of driving were you doing on the trip for 58 miles? Highway? High speed 65mph or higher? Reset the GOM and then forget about it until the battery is down to the last 10%. If you do not normally drive 60+ miles or more more do not charge it every night and see how far you...

    Ask Me Anything You Need To Know - B-Class

    You need an mbrace account and You need the VVC code from the dealer to register for the website that displays the charge info. The VVC code is vehicle verification code and it can only come from the dealer. It took me 22 days to get mine but it usually only take a day or two once you start asking.

    RANGE NOT AS ADVERTISED

    As several other users have reported I too get about 1 mile per percent charge! The GOM is a huge understatement. We took our first long drive today. 89 mile round trip. We returned home with 15% charge. Here are all the details of how our car is performing: Miles driven since last charge 89...
