    Aux input volume query

    Belkin Gadget with iPod - Now Full Volume with Aux I've just swapped my 2006 SLK350 for a 2007 CLK280 Sport (needed the seats!) and hit the same problem with the volume needing cranking up on the head unit to play my iPod Nano when connected through the Aux socket in the CLK's glovebox (the SLK...

    W208 CLK full beam not working (but flasher does)

    Had Exactly the Same Problem Just after I bought my W208 CLK430 cabrio I had exactly the same problem. The supplying dealer first replaced the stalk on the steering column and that fixed it ... for about one week. Next time they replaced the entire rotary switch unit - and that fixed it...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Hope You Have Better Luck Hi Aka$h - Afraid I had to give up in the end, even with the genuine CD and help from a techy expert at the local MB dealer I made no further progress. I eventually got fed up of it draining my battery and decided that my unit must be one of that batch that just won't...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Any Suggestions anyone? Does anyone out there have any more ideas or suggestions about how I can get around the Comand unit in my W208 shutting down (and going into some sort of loop) at the 'Checking disk' stage of upgrading the comand firmware to MY01? Very frustrating if I have to give up...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    So close .... now need to disable ICAN Thanks Paul and Richard - and you are spot on, I'm fast running out of hair (not that I started with a lot)! Seriously though I think that I'm almost there, I think what's happening now is that the unit is going into an endless ICAN loop as described in...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Some Progress - but more problems I've made some progress, thanks largely to PJayUK who has very kindly provided me with an original MY01 upgrade disk. The unit now recognises the disk during the upgrade process and tells me the software versions - current, which is 1999 vintage, and on the...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Cd-r Thanks DickChailey - my CD-R is a Memorex, so probably similar quality to your one. I will try it with a proper MB CD, PJayUK has offered me his, I'll report back when I've tried it.

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Tried again with CD-R Thanks DickChailey .... sounds like you are in my neck of the woods. I've tried again with the CD-R disc following your instructions to the letter. It only ever gets as far as the 'Insert Update Disc' screen - what happens is that I insert the CD and can hear that little...

    Need Original MY01 Disc Hi PJayUK - I've put my MSN contact address onto my profile, could you email me there as I'd like to get hold of your original MY01 update disc if you don't need it any more .... or just borrow it for a while. Miro - thanks for your info - I don't have intelligent...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Original MB Disc Thanks Diesel, Alfie, Silver, Raymont and PJayUK for your suggestions and offers of help - I think the best thing will definitelybe to try it with an original MB MY01 Firmware CD (like I expected my MB stealer to do :))... if that doesn't work then I guess nothing will. I'd...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Still no luck with MY01 Upgrade Hi - I'm picking up this story after a break of almost exactly 12 months! I decided to wait until I took my car in to the MB dealer for it's next service, and then ask them to apply the upgrade. Well I've now had my 'A' service and, after explaining several times...

    Service Cost

    Main Dealer Costs - Negotiate! As mentioned before most main dealers are having a lean time at the moment, and their workshops under utilised. My recent experience is that they are very much prepared to negotiate to keep your business (especially if you've been a regular customer) and you may...

    Boot Release

    Boot Release on a W208 Cabrio The comment from gl-boy about his boot opening all the way would seem to relate to a W209 cabrio - and the car which is the subject of the original question on this thread is of course a W208. My W208 handbook is quite explicit about the cabrio boot being designed...

    Main Beam lost on Combination Switch

    Update on Main Beam Problem Took the car into the supplying dealer (sports car specialist, not stealership) and excellent mechanic quickly diagnosed this as a faulty light switch (main light switch, not stalk). They are going to replace it (under warranty) which is good, but has anyone else...

    Boot Release

    Cabrio Boots Don't Pop Up If you take a look in your handbook you'll see that (unlike the coupe) the boot lid on the cabrio is designed to only open a few inches when released. As someone has suggested this is to avoid the boot opening fully when the roof is being raised or lowered.

    Main Beam lost on Combination Switch

    Min Beam Lost (Again) Hi Diesel, Thanks for the suggestion, it's a good thought but sadly I don't have auto headlamps on my CLK (odd because it has every other option ticked, I wonder if theses were available as an option on a 2000 CLK?). I'm still wondering if there is a headlamp circuit...

    Main Beam lost on Combination Switch

    I have a W208 CLK cabrio and when I bought it a couple of months back I discovered that the main beam did not come on when the combination switch was pushed forward - though they would come on pulling it back to the 'flash' position. The supplying garage got a new combination switch from the...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    MY01 Upgrade Thanks Alfie, Diesel and Geoff - I'm going to wait until after Christmas then buy a new 2007/8 mao disk AND the command upgrade disk together. Incidentally I went to two local Merc dealerships, both as it happens owned by the same organisation. The first one said they would order...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    MY01 Upgrade Thanks for the suggestion Alfie - but when I spoke to my local MB dealer they said that they would not sell me the disk (even though I quoted the part number) saying that it was for workshop use only. They also said that as my car has always been serviced by the original supplying...

    Help Needed with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

    Hi, I've recently bought a lovely CLK430 Avantgarde Cabrio (W208 - 2000W) with absolutely every option from the list including Comand. However I'm quite disappointed with the sat nav as the mapping doesn't show any of the smaller roads and lanes near my home. I intend to buy a 2007 map disk soon...
