    I believe the AGM technology was developed in the 40's for military applications, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Brabster had one as OEM. Mercedes do like to 'over engineer' imo, it's one of the things that make them fab

    Surprised you haven’t had your second yet Grant, got mine a couple of weeks ago. I’d have thought they would have prioritised you.
