#322 of 390 Harmon Kardon Premuim Sound??? by pgsmith Nov 12, 2005 (12:18 pm)
I took delivery on my C280 4matic last week. I had ordered it with the entertainment package but fin no indication of the Harmon Kardon sound on the radio or speakers other than the L rear shelf speaker. How can I verify the correct system was installed?   The sound isn't that great, but that may be because the rear speakers are not working. I'll have to get it into the dealer for repair ASAP. I'm not very impressed that something so easy to check wasn't caught before they delivered the car. Replies to this message: dbrand (Nov 23, 2005 11:42 am)

Replying to: pgsmith (Nov 12, 2005 12:18 pm) I just took delivery of my 06 C280 4Matic 3 weeks ago. I also have the HK sound system. I was puzzled too because there is no badging indicating this was installed, until I turned it on. I had been driving my ex's SLK320 with the standard sound, so the comparison is easy. I think the HK sound system is faboo. Perhaps you just need to adjust yours--see the manual and make the adjustments through the digital screen in front of the driving position. You can adjust balance of speakers, treble, bass, etc., very easily. I just completed a 1,500 mile road trip and the 7 CDs I brought along (6 in the CDC pack and 1 in the single slot) never sounded better. I am very impressed with the system. My best friend has a new 740 BMW with the premium sound system (I think it's Bose) and it doesn't sound any better than mine. So perhaps some adjustments will make the difference for you.
#324 of 390 C350 feedback? by shanky Dec 16, 2005 (4:31 pm)
I have the 2006 C350 RWD Luxury for about 3120 miles now, no quality issues, great mpg, great ride, great looks, great performance, great acceleration (& great price!)   Does anyone have any similar/difefrent feedback on their ownership? I have not seen C350s on the road yet, except mine!

Replying to: shanky (Dec 16, 2005 4:31 pm) Great to hear! I don't have one - but will test drive one once the tax return comes in. I'm not sure if I want to spring for the C350 - or go for the C280 - I'll try 'em both. Right now, though, its Christmas bills, and the waiting in knowing I'll get my year-end commission check in Feb - and tax return as well. That'll give me some cash to use. I'm hoping the C350 works out reliably. Very few of the car mags say much about it - which could be good - a hidden gem!

Replying to: shanky (Dec 16, 2005 4:31 pm) I just purchased a 2006 C350 sport, I like it a lot, but one question, have you notice that sometimes when you hit your bakes it makes a sound?

Replying to: tbelcher (Dec 19, 2005 10:35 am) I hear a hollow "popping" sound on my 2006 that seems to come from inside the vehicle. I'm guessing it is a vacuum build-up or sticking in the brake switch which activates the brake lights and cancels the cruise. It is on my list of "items to be looked at" this Friday for my 1k-3k check-up. (I'm right at 2k).   My biggest concern would be if they find a "sticking switch" which could potentially fail to cancel the cruise or notify the driver behind me that I'm slowing down.   I'll try to post what they find.

Replying to: tbelcher (Dec 19, 2005 10:35 am) By the way. Mine is a C280 4matic so it is probably not limited to the C350.

Replying to: tbelcher (Dec 19, 2005 10:35 am) After your feedback, I checked my C350 brakes several times..there is no such sound upon braking...   The only thing I "may" have concern is about a faint whining sound from the front when gliding over smooth roads...the dealer technician informed me that that was the fan revving up/down, and perfectly normal...   By the way, I achieved my lifetime milestone having zipped to 115 mph last weekend! I do not believe 130 is far behind the way the car accelerates...! I have nothing but admiration at the braking smoothness and power, that is driving up my confidence in speeding...the car has never swerved even when braking at high speeds Replies to this message: mac320 (Dec 23, 2005 7:56 pm)

Replying to: shanky (Dec 19, 2005 9:32 pm) Great to hear that about your "350" luxury sedan. We'll probably trade our '02 C320 for one but we decided to wait when we discovered that they were practically rare exotics at the local MB lot compared to all of the C280s. When at least half of the C's on the lot are 350s and we can go in and see the exact color and interior we want and can offer to buy--while pretending that we don't really want it--we're there!
