  1. The fact that I have something to be angry with Stellantis about is more important than the fact that I use CarPlay, which I do happily. I still haven't had the opportunity to check the versions. If it has updated even once in the past two years, let alone three or four times, then maybe I am indeed up-to-date. Since I planned to use Google Maps and CarPlay most of the time, I didn't specify navigation when I bought the car because it came standard with other features (heated seats). The fact that Stellantis charges a premium price for a feature only to make it non-functional until you pay a monthly fee is revolting to me. The voice control option is no different.
  2. It appears that the VIN option is no longer relevant for newer vehicles; instead, it directs you to the over-the-air update page. In a similar vein, I have no idea what the SRC button does, even though I've only ever used it to return to the previous channel of the radio—until the car switched it for me! Curious about the appropriate time to press SRC? I will go to the car and write down the most recent versions; I regret not doing so sooner.
  3. Is there a way to see which software versions are most recent for the e208? Not even map updates have been provided to me for the past year or so. Under "Settings" and similar options, it states that there are none. By the way, these are over-the-air updates; the other option has been removed. I purchased my vehicle with navigation, but I am not currently paying for Connect Plus or whatever it's called. I am surprised that there has been no update at all. Surely something would have been announced by now? Sept 2024, GT, 74 plate. Can I find a history of when OTA updates were released?
  4. When it's time for the MOT, a competent tester will fail if you let the smoke to escape.
  5. Locking it while the car is running is possible. Did it just now? I prepared a video to show you. Excuse my disorganised living quarters. My return after a 1,000-mile road journey is imminent.

  7. Great question! I'm not sure of any resets, but I'll be doing mine next week. Paying attention.
  8. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
  9. The response is much appreciated. Twenty years ago, I got a car with three keys—the one I use now is one of them. It is possible to transform the barcode that the dealer provided me with into the code that the BeCM requires. That service is provided by Blackbox Solutions, however they claim to be unable to continue doing so at this time. I had a key specialist in the UK who came highly recommended on this site rebuild key no. 2, as key no. 1 went missing. Even though the P38 is starting and driving now, I'm worried that it won't communicate properly with the car if I use key nr. 2 and set the market using my Blackbox lite, even though this has worked before. My next stop is at the dealer's.
  10. Hi there, Given that Blackbox is unable to furnish me with the necessary code to enable the BeCM to acquire a new keyfob, I must enquire: If I set the market in the BeCM to "middle-east," would the imobiliser function be disabled but central locking still work when I enter the keyfob into the doorlock and turn it to open and close while holding the button? Right now, it says "market not set" on the screen, so the car starts, but the central locking doesn't work and it has forgotten that it has a sunroof. The whole thing started when the bodyshop lost the fully operational keyfob. So, to reiterate: the market is set to the Middle East; how does this impact the imobiliser function? We deeply value your assistance.
  11. For goodness' sake. It pertains entirely to the governance of the populace. The owner will not be deterred from remaining in the car while it idles to facilitate defrosting, ensuring safe driving with unobstructed windows.
  12. What is the optimal location for purchasing automotive components, namely service items such as filters, including gearbox filters, spark plugs, fluids, and similar products? Does anyone here possess a discount for club members?
  13. I acquired the 500 for £50. Significantly superior to Icarsoft. Fundamental yet superior, in my opinion. Do all cars, not limited to Mercedes, also exhibit this characteristic?
