I was charged for software upgrade. Is it possible to upgrade the computer in these cars?

These vehicles will absolutely require software updates. MB has programable computers on board that allow software to be updated as gliches are found in operating systems. As you have service on your vehicle at a dealer periodically new updates will be issued for components on the vehicle. These are necessary to ensure proper function of all components. Some of these updates take 5 min to install others can take an hour or more. And they sure will charge you too.
