    Thanks for sharing this! If it's not too difficult I think I will give this a try. Do you have any pictures of where you connected the wires by any chance?

    Garmin Map Pilot Free map

    Got it working, thanks! I had the same issue with it not activating, just had to close the download manager and re-open and it activated fine. No issues with the SD card in the car either. How is it going with the speed cameras, I tried installing them a year or two ago and it was a bit buggy...

    Mercedes C-Class W205 Handsfree Boot Access

    You might need to have the car plugged in to a diagnostic machine to check for any errors / software updates. Could be a glitch in the software and needs a reset / update.

    Mercedes C-Class W205 Handsfree Boot Access

    If you unlock the car with the keyfob and then open the boot manually using the button in the bootlid, are you then able to press the red button in the boot that will close the boot and lock the car? I know that sounds like a random question, but I had an issue with my car a while ago where the...

    This site may help: https://w205audio20.wordpress.com/ "The subwoofer (if we can call a 6.5” that) is bridged to FL+ and FR- connectors (sub – violet, FL – green, FR – blue)."

    Pretty sure that's the speaker for the instrument cluster sounds, like indicators and warnings.

    W205 Audio 20 SMS not available with iPhone

    I've got an Android phone paired with the Audio 20 and the only time SMS works is when I receive a new message while the phone is connected to the system. It will then let me view the message on screen. Not seen a way to view all the older messages stored on the phone.

    Android Unit for C Class W204 ??? Any feedback

    One option could be to install an app on the android headunit that lets you stream DAB. I've seen on some of those units have their own sim card slot for data or you could hotspot your phone instead and let the headunit use data that way.

    W205 Audio20 Boot Loop

    That's good to know, thanks! If the firmware update doesn't work, I'll buy a second hand unit. Not sure how much the main dealer will charge, but the independent specialist I've got the car booked in with is going to charge £140 if they can fix it with the firmware update.

    W205 Audio20 Boot Loop

    I get a small sound from the speakers when the unit starts up, like a popping noise as if its trying to send a signal to the speakers. The reverse camera also works for a few seconds and then the unit will show the additional options like wide angle / brightness for another few seconds and then...

    W205 Audio20 Boot Loop

    I'm hoping a firmware update will sort this. Seen some posts online where the dealer updated the unit to the latest firmware and it fixed the issue. I've got it booked in for next Thursday. I had a look at second hand units on ebay and none of them seem to come with the security code, not sure...
