dash

I thought I'd share how I wired my dash camera in my W205 sport line. The power lead plug supplied with the camera would not allow the lid to shut on the cubbyhole on the centre consul. I decided to use one of the USB slots instead. I bought a long USB 'A' to USB 'B' cable but initially it...

As per title after replacing my dash vent i was not sure if it had gone back in as far as it should .So i removed the speaker grill r/h side to check ,only to find the speaker suspension sponge ring had fell to bits in one place ,due to the heat, or old age who knows.So as amy one up rated...

Transcend Drivepro 220 (2.4 Inch) Car Video Recorder 16GB (Black) - Ebuyer Its got good reviews and is a good £25 cheaper here, I will update once it arrives re fitting etc

I have not bought a camera just yet, but wondered if the power socket inside the boot space works via the ignition switch, as I don't want to use the front one which requires leaving the cover open, plus no where to hide the wire. The other possible option is the usb inside the arm rest as the...

I need to get to the heater motor on my B200T (2006) and believe it to be hidden behind the dash. I have successfully dismantled Ford and Subaru dashes before but the B class seems to be screwed together better and I have no idea where to start. :dk: Anyone got any useful pointers...

About 6 months ago I purchased an Eprance 801 mini and it's been an absolutely cracking camera. So I decided to buy another one and use it as a rear facing camera. I routed the cable from the fuse box in the boot wired through a switched live. All fitted and works perfectly. Now the rub. It...

As my car only has one 12v input I decided to hardwire my dash cam. Now I needed a switched live so the cigarette lighter was the obvious choice. I'm no electrician but I can use a multimeter so it was actually a very simple job. So first things first. I followed MA Carbons PDF to remove...

Hi all im in a bit of bother. On the way the car gave me a fault on the dash of brake wear visit workshop which has never come up b4. Now i cant move the car out of park. The abs light is also on, is this to do with the brake pad wear indicator. Bit worried as im now stuck. I also have another...

Hi there, after days of failed attempts at fitting a dash camera in my new C300 Hybrid, I decided to throw the towel and get the job done by a specialist. I did manage to hard wire a couple of dashboard cameras on two other cars, including my previous one, a 2010 Audi A4, but I did not manage...

Guys, A few weeks after owning my C Class Estate i started to notice a vibration in the dashboard at low rpm, when the engine was under load but especially in cold conditions. I actually suspected the plastic trim on the outside of the vehicle as no matter where i held the interior i could...

I've always wanted a dash cam but didn't fancy it stuck in the window. After browsing the eBay I found a cam that I could dismantle to fit the spare camera space in the W205 windscreen. I have the road sign camera/ILS camera one side and a blank plate the other. Few pics below with a write up...

Hi i got a 300sl 1992 when i use the indicator the all the light cluster flashes in the dash. I was told it was the wires arcing under the seat which had checked but it was not. Told now that it is the indicator relay in the fuse box could it be something else, just checking before i fork out...

Hi all. My Benz has covered 413000 km and is starting to require a few parts! The air conditioning compressor and the under dash fan motor,any assistance will be highly appreciated thanks

As above- One of the gotchas on a E300 I bought. It's not a suction mount as the seller claimed but is glued....to a leather dash. Any wisdom about how I remove it without leaving a scar - of even whether I can remove it without leaving a scar. Google suggests veg oil in a dam to contain the...

I started getting this message on dashboard after trying to pull the car out of snow. The ESP light came on as the car was struggling to get out of the driveway. Once out, the lights remained on. I lost power steering too. I also get Run flat indicator inoperative. Turning car off removes...

Hi all, i have a 1999 V class, 2.2. Since ive owned it it has always had a clicking noise from dash area when ignition turned on? now battery warning light has come on but still starts and runs good? any ideas? thanks Len

Hi Guys, On a 2013 C63, will the driver alert coffee cup only appear when it detects a driver loosing concentration? All others seem to have it on the dash when its switched on but on my C63, it never comes on even though I have activated in the instrument cluster. cheers!

Has anybody installed a dash cam in their car ? Been doing a bit of research and contemplating installing a fixed camera directly behind my rear view mirror, just wanted to get some opinions on whether to get one with GPS or not bother ? Cheers Bamz

I've just bought a little dash cam, small enough to be mounted on the windscreen behind the rear view mirror, to be permanently mounted. I need a permanent 12v+, an ingnitioned 12v+ and a ground, any ideas? I'm wondering if there might be some of these in the panel underneath the interior...

How accurate is the mpg figure displayed in the instrument cluster ? My Bmw was way out but not sure about the E63? Thanks
