A-class 180, options?

[heidtb]

Wow it seems the facelift tail lamps are out. For those that already changed probably jump the gun?

[BabyA]

U sure that is for A180? That tail lamp belongs to the A45 FL.

Anyway i dont know. LOL

[Mizarahi]

Nice. Hope can fit non facelift a class.

[heidtb]

Many members change their a180 lights to a45 non fl. Then happened to see actually a45 fl are already available so sharing for awareness

[AsteroidS]

any pics to compare between the a45 non fl and fl?

I'm waiting for the Apple Car Play software update, which I read somewhere that will be available with the new FL.

Hopefully C&C will come up with some software upgrades when we send our cars in for servicing.

But seems the iPhone app isn't available on Apple App Store yet...

Also googling on whether can use MiBox or Chromecast to do mirroring to our Audio 20...

I just collected my car yesterday.

Anything above 22 is hot air by sg context

Elebest can do Apple TV mirroring and this vendor also http://www.bigboystoys.com.sg/collections/frontpage/products/hd-link-for-mercedes-interface

I'm waiting for apple play to be out to see if any upgrade option for pre FL audio 20

Hi heitb, thanks for the information. I was jus thinking 22degC is a bit cold and would prefer 24degc but guess I will stick with 22 for now

[heidtb]

You'll start to notice the hotter air at 23c above on cloudy/rainy days especially

[darksaint]

I just collected my car yesterday. My SE told me that the car air con temperature must be set below 22degC, it's better for the car. I'm rather skeptical about this. Is everyone doing the same thing?

Mine is set between 23 and 24 normally. 22 too cold for me

[BabyA]

I have tried above 22... it is just not cool enough, even between 23 and 22... it is a big difference in coolness.

If 22 is too cool for thee, just need to lower the fsn speed.

I tried, even at 22 with 0.5 fan speed, it is cool enough provided the vehicle is not under the hot sun.

[peckio]

For me it's 21 deg with fan speed at 1.5 on normal days.

I'll usually open the windows to let the stale air con blow out for a few minutes after starting the car.

The additional Huper Optic solar film means not much heat gets trapped in the car even when parked under the hot sun.

Need to reduce to fan speed of 0.5 on colder days though, but I try not to adjust the temperature.

Getting rather annoyed by malaysian motorbikers hiding in the blindspot behind the c pillar.

Any tips and tricks on how to deal with these blindspots?

 

Why do A classes have such thick c pillars?
 

Why do mercs in general have such thick c pillars?

 

sigh

[heidtb]

That's why it's suppose to come with blind spot assist but cnc doesn't want to give it as standard

Any idea if any of the PIs are offering the blind spot assist as part of the package?

The c pillars are enforced to reduce side impact greatly if not wrong from the nite event talk at cnc previously.

You may want to try adjust the left side mirror more to the left to check more blind spot area with assist of rear mirror.

Yes I set my mirrors up like that ever since driving the W124.... but the new blindspots created - these are quite big if the C pillars are big. and these blindspots tend to be where malaysian motorbikers linger....

Maybe I should try the conventional 'driving school' method instead. The 'new' method creates new problems for cars with wide C pillar.

got such thing? i set at 23 lol

[chaicka]

23 deg @ 1 or 1.5 fan speed = rather cooling already even for me who is well known among friends to be branded as 'polar bear' (not afraid of cold down to 0 or 1 degree C, even tried -3 degree in berm and tee taking 5 outdoor).

 

Set to 24 - warm air starts to blow out. Probably due to the W176 default to intake air from outside unlike Jap cars which default to circulate interior air without taking outside air.

[mountaingoat_gray]

I just set it to whatever I feel like without even looking at the knob. I trust that the engineers know how to do a proper job such that it can coper with various conditions. Personally I don't drive much in heavy traffic so most of the time I leave recirc off.
