Popped down to the car at lunch time and plugged the USB into a PC. You are correct and it turns out Mac's store a hidden file onto the drive. It is a spotlight indexing file and deleting this has resolved the issue. Next challenge for tonight will be to figure out how to stop it indexing on...

Thanks I will give it a go tonight and i shall use a Windows PC to eliminate the risk of it being a Mac Issue.

Hi Yes i am, i will give it a go on a windows PC reformat and maybe copy the MP3's across and see if this does anything. Thanks for your help but still no luck i have reset the radio system and still having the same issue. I have uploaded a video so you can see it in action... let me...

So the bit rates are all 320kbps and there are no funnies in the names with numbers etc. I have checked the metadata to make sure this is clear and follows the same format for all songs. By playlist all i did was dump a number of songs onto the usb i then created a folder and dumped another...

Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been posted before but i tried taking a look and could not find it. So i have transferred my music to a USB and plugged it into the car which has USB interface. The issue that i am having is with how the tracks are playing. Firstly the song that...

Yep all of this has been communicated and the dealer principle was copied into the last email. Where i informed them that the car was looked at by another dealership and taken care of under warranty. Unfortunately yet again a response or even an acknowledgement with regards to this has yet...

So an update for your all, apologies as i have been unwell with man flu and some projectile vomiting thrown in for good measure. The person that i spoke to at the branch was initially very prompt at replying and was quick to offer to do the work for free. However when i informed him that i...

The dash cam comes on when the ignition is flicked to the first position when the electrics come on. without turning on the electrics they would not have been able to see the handbrake light turning off.

Hey Guys, Just so i am clear is this stuff suitable for normal diesels and doesn't have to be for a car running on veg oil. If so what would you recommend for a W204 C220 Thanks in advance

Apologies as i was not aware of exactly how the mechanism works, I have learnt something new today. Will update all on the outcome from MB. Still waiting on them to come back after having done some investigating. I havent been chasing as i do not have the time due to work commitments and...

It starts working when the electrics are turned on as its plugged into the cigarette lighter, so the car doesn't have to be running. One of the symptoms was the the handbrake light stayed on and it would beep to tell me to release the handbrake.. this will only happen when the electrics are...

This is possible and an option that i had considered. Due to the weather my car had gone from palladium silver to brown because of the amount of crap off of the motorway. When i had my MOT done the guy popped open the bonnet and left his fingerprint marks something i noticed because i had...

The only way business is won in my mind is through trust and the moment thats broken its near impossible to get it back. we pay a premium to expect a standard of service that is consistent through all the dealerships, but this has only brought into question whats the point in keeping a car...

So far the W204 has been spot on apart from the niggle with the handbrake.It does 90miles a day although most of it is on the motorway and munches through the miles. I do have a Diesel Box fitted which made it much better but time will tell how reliable it is as it is now coming out of warranty.

So he said we have taken a look and its a chargeable repair.. When i dropped it off he did say it could be that the cable has come loose or it needs adjusting etc. but he could not say for sure until someone had looked at it. So i would have assumed that they took a look at it before coming back...

So it was Mercedes in Orpington who are a service centre, now maybe they did look at the car from the outside or maybe they unplugged my dashcam and took a look. Maybe it was an off day and generally their service is very good i dont know all i know is they have lost my trust and its a lot of...

Thanks Markjay! Sorry i dont think i can quote messages yet. Yeah it was not expensive, just a disappointing experience.

lol very true and i suppose its a lesson learnt and they probably wont be getting my custom again. Thanks!

Hey Guys, I am new to this so apologies if i have posted in the wrong place. Let me start off by introducing myself i am Fam and i have owned a c220 w204 63 reg for the last 18 months. My daily commute is about 90 miles through what is the UK's largest car park better known as the M25...
