I phoned our MB shop today and they advised me to go find a new radio. Pfff....

Hi all, I'm looking for advise on a similar problem. My mother in law's boyfriend has an old 190 with Becker BE 1100 (Europa 2000) radio (serial BE 1100 C 4623209). The car has been serviced by an old friend of his, a retired car technician. The car's battery has been disconnected for...

just a follow up for those interested... - Audio problem solved by mercedes, financed by own wallet: new audio gateway + install + reprogramming - Rust problem: will be taken care of by mercedes under warranty

Thanks for your dead-on door panel removing instructions! Having absolutely no idea what I was up to, everything was just as described. The only thing i was not prepared for was the ribbon wiring for the lights. It seems very brittle and was afraid I might have damaged it. But everything is...

It has been a while since I last visited this site. Mainly because all has been going pritty well ;) But today I encountered a problem for which I would like some advise. My problem is partly electronics, partly body work and partly interior. Since the original problem first points to an...

Now that i think about it, on the CL600 the light might have lit up continuously instead of flashing, but intermittantly, not all the time. Didn't cause any trouble driving with it on though, only performance loss, probably because the fault wasn't severe enough to cause erratic car behavior.

A heavy foot or extremely slippery surfaces are indeed the most common causes for it. My father's previous CL600 (2000) also developped the intermitted yellow triagle flashes along with temporary power loss, especially on motorways. At the dealer they have tried to diagnose it and in the...

I had a 1994 w202 C220 Sport before, no facelift ofcourse. This is what I can remember: - When turning on the ignition all lights should light up (to show they are working I guess), then they should go out again. The SRS light always lights up longer and is the last to go out (when all...

If you have a recent full image from before your crash, then use it. I don't know Acronis, but most imagers have a tool you can run from within windows, select the files you want to restore (dbx, pst, ...). select an alternative restore location, not the original location but for example...

Could be, but then again if you open the bonnet of the new CL600 (V12) you will see there is not that much space left under there. My personal opinion on this is that it is not about more space between the exterior of the car, but rather about the overall shape of the front, and not specifically...

It's hard to form an opinion on what is the best mercedes, but based on personal experience, this (see attached picture) promises to be one of the better mercs I've been in. (i just don't like the big single multi function comand button, i think it makes it more difficult/distracting to operate...

there is not allways a warning... our former W202 had the fuel tank replaced and because of wrong fitment, I ran out of fuel with still 25% of fuel on the meter and no warning light, the engine just died, along with steering assistance, breaking assistance, ABS, .... I was doing 140 km/h with...

Dunno if you have the same problem, but here's my story anyway: Our 2004 S211 started to make a sound after about 1.5 years which increased with speed. First I didn't notice it, but with time it became louder. When taking bends to the left the sound vanished for the duration of the bend. It...

I'm seriously concidering such a device badge got nicked again this night. 2nd in a months time

I've been looking for some answers on bluetooth functionality in mercedeses, but unfortunatly i get more and more confused as I read posts on this topic. We have a very simple question: The new CL has 2 options (translated from dutch option list): - code 386: pre-installation for mobile...
