    Aero wiper blades: which way up?

    I've also been able to remove the endcaps and insert the rubber portion from another blade onto the MB blade. I made sure they were the same size.

    OM642 ECU swap

    My car is in India. No remapping shops here that I know or trust. So, that's why I was wondering if I could just buy 320 ecu plus other stuff to get the same result. Just looking for factory perf levels. Byas

    OM642 ECU swap

    OM642 ECU swap

    I have a 2008 280CDI with the OM642 engine spec'ed to 190PS. I understand the 320CDI is the exact same engine but at 235PS or thereabouts. I have also read that the 280CID ecu has some portions "locked" and cannot be easily modified, but the 320cdi ecu can be upgraded further. What would it...

    Anyone has w211 with NTG2.5 Comand?

    Not interested in the clone! BTW, the NTG 2.5 manual does not indicate that music can be stored on the HDD. It only shows CD, DVD, or SD as storage options. I thought I had read that music could also be stored on the 40GB HDD (upto 4GB IIRC). Was I mistaken or did I read the manual...

    Anyone has w211 with NTG2.5 Comand?

    Thanks! I had not found the manual previously. I still have a couple of questions: 1. Does this unit download contacts from iPhone 5/6 easily? 2. Is there a way to access voice dialing (Siri) on the iPhone? (This was possible in my '09C300 with Audio 20, and is possible with Viseeo MB4+ in my...
