    Key fob dead

    Cheers, great explanations. Didn't know where LED was or how to view, can now. Old battery after some rest, works slightly. Two new batteries, although not purchased recently, so not, a little strange as they aren't really old. So it seems key still works.

    Key fob dead

    My fob was getting worse, and I was a away for a few days with work, and upon my return it was dead and would not open the car. The other fob still works, and hence its not a car issue. I have inserted a new 2025 battery, still no luck. I've tried the re-sync: Insert the key into the...

    How to demist windscreem on W203?

    I'm on my second Merc, with bmw before and between, and IMO the Mercs are exceptionally poor at demisting in comparison to them and other cars! No idea why, but the fan speed is poor, and it seems to take longer to get warm air there.

    W204 front & rear brake disc & pad service replacement

    Cheers guys, wasn't looking the comments on preferences./brands, although its helpful, its all personal opinion, my feel is if i want i can buy cheap, they are made, pass the necessary tests, and are sold. This has now detracted from my main questions about other parts, special tools, and...

    W204 front & rear brake disc & pad service replacement

    Looking to do this myself, with little prior knowledge of this car...a 2012 C220. Can anyone please point me to any online written instructions/threads? Was thinking of these (not bothered about quality) for parts: MERCEDES C-CLASS C220 CDi W204 07-13 FRONT & REAR BRAKE DISCS & PADS NOT AMG |...

    2013 W04 upgrade audio to android?

    Cheers, markjay, understood. Do you know if i can undergo a COMAND retrofit, and what advantages that brings? Android auto etc? Any links?

    2013 W04 upgrade audio to android?

    Thanks, seem rather slick. Will need to find a website or forum to discuss it more. Larger than what i was wanting, and thus seems too large. Wonder if there is half way house that fits in the dash better? Becker would be redundant with map apps. DAB? Work with existing wheel buttons etc?

    2013 W04 upgrade audio to android?

    I have a 2013 W204 = facelift. And I believe have the standard Audio 20. Can this be upgraded to an improved android system? That integrates with other stuff in the car? Most posts i see are for the pre-facelift models!

    Alarm & Tow De-activation

    How does one tell if these have been activated, is there an indicator light anywhere? I pressed the internal alarm button the other day, but it still went off with a dog inside!? Without such this is woeful! :fail

    ICE in 2013 w204

    In my C class I have the Audio 20 (non COMAND) entertainment system with Becker GPS, can I modernise and upgrade to an Android system (with GPS, DAB etc)? Struggling to locate, can for the older 2007-11 car, maybe its because in my newer model the Ent. system is split in two sections, upper...

    Eco stop start fault?

    OK, its just weird that mine has changed how it operates, and is now not working in warmer times, which I believe temp to be one of the parameters. Anyway, as Headhurts tried to say, and you note, maybe my battery is under performing, and thus that could be a reason why its not working...

    Eco stop start fault?

    Anyone ever get to the bottom of this...I bought a ~3 year W204 at start of winter and it stop/started all the time (in fact far too easily frequently if you ask me), and even in the colder conditions. Now it hardly ever does, and hasn't for a while, and still won't even now it being much...

    New W204 C-Class owners discussion

    I'm still lost, how do the front fogs work on a UK facelift w204 saloon? I have the button for the rear, and can see nothing for the fronts, are they fully auto? [And BTW the de-misting in both my mercs was/is appalling compared to my previous BMWs!]

    Becker Map module

    OK, not sure if i really need all of Europe! But I suppose the full update that includes UK&Ireland comes within it! There seem to be differing model numbers, how can I tell what is suitable etc? The ones being sold on eBay imply they are update-able via Becker website, but don't advise costs...

    Becker Map module

    I want to purchase for my car, but see various Becker models on eBay. Does it matter what model is purchased? Do they automatically come with access to free online updates (even though I ma not the original owner)?

    On my 2005 C220 Merc, both my keys fail to open car and work in ignition, any advice? Note: red LED flashing on keys, and new battery in car a couple of months ago.
