There is a lead upto the cradle, I cannot 'seem to- I may be missing something' remove it from merc; does it mean it is fixed?

I am slightly lost, I have checked the user manual etc, but cant figure out what model is my car. It has number plate og 2005 in UK. MERCEDES E270 CDI ELEGANCE AUTO 2005 4 Door Saloon. Sorry for asking what may be a silly question, but I just could'nt figure it out.

I am still confused which cradle type do I have. It looks like it is fixed because I could see no way to unplug the cradle from the car. Also can I use any 6xxx phones ( I have found a £10 phone, so I may end us that phone for the car)

mct, looks like mine one needs a remap. Can you recommend someone in north west london?

HTD thanks. If I want to use the existing cradle, does it mean I will have to use particular model or anyone that fits into the slot, would work Also by pairing do you mean bluetooth? Also my Iphone has been detected by the command, but it the iphone does not connect. What does that mean in...

What are the options to connect Iphone4 to my Merc? Is the cradle different for Iphone4 and Iphone 4s, should I upgrade?

@ mercedesmanleed What is remap? What do I need to get my do a decent miles? ***, any suggestion from your side. 25 and 35 seem quite low particularly since my old petrol beemer did that anyway.

I am getting about 25 MPG - 9 KM a litre driving in London roads and 36 MPG - 13 KM a Litre on motorways. I was expecting a little more. Is that normal or should it be more? I have now checked it is much less than what others are getting. My 2001 petrol beemer was giving 19 in City...

Please note this is Key and not KeylessGo, I misread the manual

I cannot open the Door my car. I bought a second hand a month back. The car is CDI E270 year 2005. I can run the car without any issues. There is no battery check lamp on the KeylessGo; as mentioned in the manual so dont know if it is due to battery. How much does the battery cost, assuming...

Thanks guys. I got insurance extension for the other car. The law is clear and I wanted to find out why. Part of which is explained by Rory. My personal opinion is that of a skeptism as I think the regulator seems to be working for larger companies against whom they are supposed to protect us...

Is insurance on the second car necessary? I have 2 cars, one is owned by my wife and the other by me. Technically if I take comprehensive insurance on one Car as main user and my wife as another named used, I can always drive the other car and be insured because of the insurance on the second...

Thanks for your replies. The model is e-class. Its a quite noisier compared to BMW. Is there any measure when it - the volume of noice - could signal problem with the car?

I am about to buy a Merc 270 CDI Elegance 2005 Auto and have come across some reviews which are n out foot very favourable. Hence I have begun to rethink my decision. Should I or should I not? What am I looking out for if I buy and do you suggest I spend some money and get it checked by...
