Eh mine will come with Thinkware F750 (signed up A180 in end Feb).

 

My SE gave me 3 options for the freebie DVR and the Thinkware option was by far the best. The other 2 options I think is JS400 and some T5 model.

Good choice..

Heh though I opt for the Thinkware F750, C&C stated clearly they will not wire the DVR to the battery for parking mode feature, which I actually find it quite impt since nowadays so many lousy drivers hit and run after parking fail..

 

C&C say will void battery warranty if we do the mod wiring outside :mellow:

 

So.. what did the bros here do? just go ahead and do the wiring at workshops outside, buy external battery for the DVR, or just pray at car park dun kena drunk/gong drivers langa when parking :o ?

My W212 have just gone passed its warranty period and my C class is way beyond so perhaps others could advise you better [flowerface]

Hasn't Merc been using the Tomo Eurostyle DVR for a while?

 

Well I don't usually look at their products on display as I have no money to buy so I guess I must be utterly outdated thereto. My bad.

As long as you don't tap fuse, C&C has no rightful reason to void your warranty.

 

The external battery can be charged via ciggy port.  Anyway, ciggy port will be off once engine off.

Best to check the specs on the park mode / battery mode or install an external pack.

The 12V port in the front is active even when the car ignition is off, so don't end up spending a few hundred to replace that battery bro..

Yup bro I meant install external battery pack for the DVR :D  So when engine is off, the DVR will be powered by the external battery pack. This external battery pack will be charged whenever the engine is running. Seems like the best option w/o voiding warranty!

Can't agree more with you.

 

Used to be ardent supporter of VPower but after doing the sums, where price difference between 95 vs 98 is about $0.34/l and that works out to be about $24 for the 70l full tank I have to fill each time, and trying to justify why 98/VPower is better, I just cannot find enough reasons to go wtih 98/VPower anymore.

my car uses 2,500L of petrol a year.

 

$0.34 difference means $850

 

wah...

Hey guys, can I check if the myMB app can register 2 vehicles under one name?

 

as one is family car and one is company car.

 

Currently my app has the family car registered inside the app.

 

I dont think can allow multiple vehicles right?

I can feel the difference in weight when my car has full tank or less than half tank.

 

Also can feel if the tires are more than 10% under inflated.

 

but I can't feel the difference between 95RON and 98RON in M271 Evo engine.
