    W208 sound system versus W209

    No, the bose setups were much better than the HK offering. Often we amplifiy the existing Bose speakers when replacing the H/U. They respond well to more power.

    NTG 5E

    In a 2016 C class you will have NTG 5*1 audio 20. You need an aftermarket interface to get Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    2017 GLC DRL’s work at night but don’t come on automatically during the day.

    DRLS should be at full brightness during the day and super dim (10%) at night or off completely.

    Sat nav not showing correct position

    99% its the GPS antenna. Most often is. Changing it is easy if you are comfortable getting your comand unit out.

    W208 sound system versus W209

    Best upgrade you can do is to replace the door speakers (and A pillar) with a set of Morel components for the front and Morel coaxials for the ones at the rear of the door. HK speakers are rubbish too. We have changed literally dozens and dozens of these for customers with HK. Stunning results.

    2008 CLK cabriolet A pillar trim

    If you have an airbag sign on the trim, try removing that, there is a screw underneath it. Torx 20.

    Comand NTG1 GPS issue - 2006 CLS 219

    Exactly as Diesel Benz says. It. looks to me like the navigation drive is not seeing the antenna. This is a common issue with aftermarket antennas. Also, it can take fifteen minutes to acquire satellites. Try a complete power cycle of the navigation drive. ie, remove the power from it, wait 30...

    Audio 20 unit - Canbus High and Canbus Low pinouts

    NTG 2: CAN High is pin 11 in the main quadlock, CAN low is pin 9 in the same block. Often the wires are black and black with a white trace. Cant guarantee that as sometimes they are brown and brown with a red trace!

    Reliable free online VIN decoder!

    The only reliable VIN decoder is the Mercedes one. I've seen wrong cars, wrong options etc on all those pirated sites. I've given out loads of printouts to customers and forum members.......

    Retrofit IWC clock & carbon console

    Its the database entry Mercedes hold showing the options on the car. It is referred to when the car is coded. Also I wouldnt use T-taps. Very much a bodge in my experience. Best off to plug the loom correctly into the Lin bus so its as per factory.

    E212 Harmon K system

    I believe we may have communicated via email already. The HK amp is the 'gateway' for the sound. Unlike earlier E classes though its not an AGW as such. It doesn't house the tuner for instance. If you are getting no sound at all but the screen is functioning then you have a problem with the...

    Autowatch Ghost II or Pandora or ...................

    Autowatch ghost is excellent for preventing your car from being driven even with the keys! I have them fitted to all my vehicles. Mercedes Me shows me where the vehicles are too.
