When you say, it would not start, it means
 
1. no ignition sound at all
2. no motor sound at all
 
please explain

These ignition and battery issues have turned me off on the C. I was leaning heavily toward buying one ... but I need that kind of uncertainty/aggravation like I need another hole in my head. One car malfunctioning in a funky way is one thing, but when there is only a handful of posters here and there's a recurring theme it says (er, screams) there's a problem that's intrinsic to this vehicle. I have several friends with a wide array of MB's ... and all of them have stories of malfunctions ranging from annoyances to disasters. TWO have had engines replaced and one had MB take back an SL55.
 
I need this aggravation like I need another hole in my head. Infiniti and Lexus have just pulled ahead in this race for my $$. Thanks to all for the frank discussion here. Bart

I put the key in the ignition, turned like hundred times before and NO sound or anything.
The doom lights (when you open the door) were out also.
A few tries later, it started!

Sorry for the double "hole in my head" post. I cut and pasted incorrectly. Bart

I would also like to know how to disable the security feature on the DVD while driving. The idea is to be able to have your family watch the DVD while you drive. What good is a DVD player that can only be watch while parked? What a waste.... Help anyone???

I live in Colorado and just bought my c300 sport. It snowed the second day that I had it and the all wheel drive is awesome!!! Very good snow performance on this car!

Easy question- How to program garage door opener? by jonnyb23

I know this is a simple question, but I just got this vehicle and they didn't give me the owners manual. I tried to set it up just like the Homelink on a Honda and it won't work.

Owner's manual:
 
Go to MBUSA.com. Register as an owner, and you can access the online and/or PDF versions of the owner's manual. In addition to the hard copy in the car, I keep a copy on our computer.
 
Then, go back to the dealer and demand a hard copy. Having said that, don't be surprised if your homelink proves harder to program than on the Honda....

There's a website that sells an adapter you plug in to enable dvd while driving...
I have not tried it and I have to discuss trying it with an authzd mechanic....
 
But it is a choice.... you have to make.
Let us know how it goes...
