You mean like Audi's virtual dashboard? It's been around for a while now.

I think he means the multi-information tablet screen, in the middle of this Merecedes dash.

I know. It's ridiculous looking.

I spent about a week and many hundred miles with the Audi setup in 2020. It, coupled with another reasonably sized and well integrated touch screen was really nice once you got a little familiarity with it.

I've seen drivers stream games and movies on those things. As if we don't get enough media BS throughout the day --- now you can get it 24/7, even in stop-&-go traffic.

I’m waiting for ‘them’ to start putting washer and dryers in cars next.

I was just referring to that ghastly color.
I'm not adverse to the glass dash in it's conventional placement, I have it my S63 and GT S and it works well.
I'm not real keen on the center console display especially in a convertible where the sun can come from any angle.

Thoughts? Anyone? Started intermittently a month or two ago. This weekend, we went for a drive and it was very noticeable. This is a few second clip, driving on a road at about 10 mph, I'd say coasting, engine running, neutral and just moving along.

It's currently at a local shop that my friend owns. I haven't heard anything from him yet.

Thanks.

@Billman250 as we chatted if you find it here.

Maybe clips on brakes making noise due to low pads?

That was the first thing done already. Rear pads and rotors.

Is the noise the same, with brakes applied or not?
