Hi Sleepwalker... for the C230 2004 i gave u the VIN for, does it have integrated phone enabled?

 

washoor, please do keep me updated on your '04 C230. And whenever you do get it, I would love to see pics and hear your thoughts.

 

Hi Kross - I did get the C230 over the weekend .. and it is a beautiful machine, it has low milage so it feels like a new car, honestly i got this car for the style and looks, i think MB hit the jackpot with the W203 design .... (wondering if the W204will continue the trend), by the way the new shape is due some time later this month ..i personally don't think it is a step up for MB.

For my car , i 'm waiting for the NAV CD to see howthe MB nav will look like, so far from what i readin the manual, it is not that bad, not user-friendly oriented as the japanese competetion (Lexus & Acura) . but oh well ... no harm to change , the challenge now is the Bluetooth, MB is not up to par when it comes to phone connectivity after the Bluetooth came up, i think they took care of this issue with the 07 onwords models,BT now (i think) is an option , but then again there are aftermarket kits out there (i think MB has more AfterMArket vendors, than any other brand) ...Argos is oneof of them , now i'm weighing my options on whether to go with MB optionfor BT on the 2004 or get the Argos Kit.

So this is where i'm at ..

That is a beautiful machine! Thank you for the pictures. When you do get the CD, I would love to see pictures of the actual navigation interface. Also, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know of your experience with aftermarket bluetooth kit installation with your car.

I am still unsure as to precisely which C-Class MB I will be going with, but chances are, it will be an '04 or an '05, so all your accounts of ownership will definitely help me out.

Also, a quick (and somewhat random) question: Does it have headlight washers?

 

Hey .. Not really does not have that, i'm still exploring the car to be honest, specially the COMND unit, now looking for a good option for the Bluetooth, and also checking for the satelite radio, and by Friday i should ve getting the NAVI CD .. so things are getting clearer
