I too have this problem on my W204 with comand online. It's very annoying that it can't use the iPhone for tethering - either with bluetooth or wi-fi (personal hotspot). Anyway I found a bit more info, that may be of interest, on this site - EXCLUSIVE: Mercedes to add more internet...

The Fiscon Pro bluetooth kit was fitted into my W211 today by Alfie & Richard. They did a great job, fitting it with their usual skill and professionalism. The unit is fantastic, it connects to the phone over bluetooth and integrates into COMAND, acting just like the MB phone system. The...

Thanks for all the replies and info guys! As I thought my car definitely doesn't have an active charcoal filter, but it's okay because the stealer found plenty more wrong to make up for it!

Thanks, that's what I thought. I've been quoted £95.89 fitted, which seems pretty brutal to me!

I've the pleasure of having my E-Class serviced on Thursday (the first whilst it has been in my possession) and I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer as to whether my car has an Active Charcoal filter. The car is a Jan 2004 (53-plate) E270 Elegance with the 2-zone automatic air...

I think you should have SBC on a 211 of that vintage. To get 'SBC Hold' to work, when you have come to a complete stop, press the brake pedal a little further and you should then see SBC H come up at the bottom of the cluster. To get 'SBC Stop' to work as you are braking under 40 mph, pull...

It's not a dual carriageway unless there is separation, as that's the way a dual carriageway is defined. Multi-lane carriageways (133-143) : Directgov - Travel and transport

My advice would be to try to get one with Porsche Stability Management (the porsche equivalent of ESP). The standard Boxster has no stability management, you are on your own. I had a Boxster S 986 for only 6 weeks before I found out the hard way the perils of driving a real-wheel drive sports...

I've searched high and low on this issue and haven't found a cohesive answer to my biggest question. Without wanting to hijack the thread, does anyone know if there is a sure way to check if your car has the Valeo demon radiator without dismantling the front of the car?

Not sure if this helps the debate but my 211 still has SBC Stop and that definitely illuminates the brake light when stopping in traffic.

I got a parking ticket at Merry Hill shopping centre early this year (I hate the place and only go very rarely btw). It was a Sunday and it seemed there were twice as many cars looking for spaces as actual spaces. I saw a Land Rover Disco reverse out of a space and naturally took it as I'd been...

Sorry Richard, hadn't quite appreciated the subtle difference. The iPod was released in October 2001 btw, so there's no excuse MB :D

Just wanted to post a big thank you to the top chaps at comandonline.co.uk who did a superb job of fitting Comand to my E-Class this morning. They really couldn't have been any more helpful, professional or friendly. My first impressions are that even though the Comand works perfectly you can...
