- C250 CDI - Sport 125 - 2011
Hi all,
recently bought my C class 250CDI (2011 - Coupe 125 Sport edition) and want to get it all up together with regards to updates etc.
1. My car has originally Mercedes history and then after warranty period/2nd owner it has been into a non-Merc dealer - is there anyway to verify if all safety recalls have been done?
2. Similarly, I want to check the cars software is all up to date, is there a release notes list available in regards to the cars onboard computer updates or COMAND Online system?
3. Map updates - It doesn't appear to have ever had any, version is 4.0 2011 which is the year of the car. I spotted a few threads about not using eBay cds etc, is the only other way to go to the main dealers for them? Does anyone have a ball park figure on that - just wondering if it's worth doing as I can always use my phone maps for anything not on there.
I did visit my local Mercedes dealership with the above questions, but they didn't really know the answers and seemed more interested in getting me to buy a new car to fix the above LOL.
Oh and is there any equivalent to VCDS/VAGCOM on the Mercedes platform for the home mechanic - something that runs on a laptop would be great as I have a dedicated one for my garage work
