    Connecting a CTEK battery trickle charger

    I have to leave my car several months at a time while I work overseas, so have just bought a CTEK trickle charger to float the battery of my CLC while I am away. As I will be plugging and unplugging regularly, I would like to install a permanent plug in the car to attach the CTEK. I have bought...

    CLC350 with limited slip differential

    I recently bought a used CLC350 from a non-Mercedes second-hand car dealer in Germany. The dealer's specs were that it was an entirely standard factory CLC350 (though fully specced with sport pack, flappy paddles, parameter steering and every option listed). The car had an AMG badge on the...

    Swanneck tow ball too short!

    I recently swapped the factory detachable tow bar from my old C220CDI W203 Sport Coupé to my W202 CLC350. Unfortunately the rear bumper of the CLC is about 10mm longer than the old car and so the detachable swan neck ball does not adequately clear the bodywork. I understand that Mercedes...

    NTG2.5 - control head from iPhone?

    I have NTG2.5 and have just fitted the MB iPod kit. I'm pretty disappointed with the result. Firstly, once the iPhone is playing music, it can no longer do Siri, and I can't select music using the iPhone - I can only change music with the COMAND interface. My last audio was the excellent...

    Remove boot lid trim from CLC?

    Does anybody know how to remove the boot lid trim from a CLC? I have removed the rearmost felt piece, which is just attached with those standard MB plastic pin fasteners. But then the next piece of trim is held in place with two hard orange plastic mushroom clips which I can neither turn...

    Fitting reverse camera to a CLC

    Hello, I'd like to fit a reverse camera to my 2009 CLC350 with COMAND NTG2.5. Presumably any camera for the W203 C-Class will fit? Or are the number plate lights different between the CLC and C-Class? Also, I know how to remove the COMAND - but I don't know what is involved in running the...

    Use Linguatronic to navigate home

    I have a CLC350 with COMAND NTG2.5 and Linguatronic. Can anybody suggest how I can use Linguatronic to navigate home? I have put my home address in memory as "My Address", but if I say "Navigate My Address" usually the COMAND goes to Telephone mode! I read elsewhere that it is best to add a...

    Linguatronic - how does it cope in France?

    I'm thinking of ordering Linguatronic for my car. However, as I live in France, I am wondering how it would cope with French addresses and towns? For example, if I wanted to go to Nice, would I have to pronounce the town name as in "nice guy" to get it to work? Or will it understand if I...

    CLC203 tow bar fitting

    Hello, I currently own a 2001 C220CDi Sport Coupé which I am planning to replace with a 2008 CLC230. My current car has a factory fitted tow-bar. Will I be able to transfer this to the newer car? I believe that both models use the same chassis (203). If it is possible, is this a DIY job or...
