Hi, just noticed a nail in my rear tyre, can anyone recommend a decent tyre repair place in Quinton, Birmingham or perhaps Halesowen? It's still got some life in it, and will probably get a full set in a round 5000 miles or so!! Need to get it done tomorrow, as will probably start to leak in...

Hi guys, we have a Nov 09 SLK 200 kompressor. It is coming to the end of its finance contract and we have to decide to stump up to keep it or hand it back. It is in very good condition, 1 careful Lady owner :rolleyes: (1 minor scuffed alloy!) Manual gearbox, 18k, COMAND, White, parktronic...

Hi Guys, I have a S204 - MY13 with COMAND Just trying to find out if anyone out there has got their COMAND online system to work at anything other than dog slow?...and if so what setup have you got? I have tried it with various phones and various service providers and when it does work...

OK Guys - question of the day.. With iOS 6 coming any minute now - do you think we should upgrade straight away or wait and see? Reason I ask is that given Apples approach to accessories and changing things without telling people, and not being able to roll back.... happened last time...

Hi, I am selling on the APS COMAND unit that I previously retrofitted into my CLK, which I a now removing as the car is going back to MB next week. This unit will only fit into a W209 - i.e the later model CLK and needs to be the facelifted model from 2005 onwards although some late 2004 cars...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the original iphone cradle so that it will charge the latest versions?:confused: This might also apply similarly to the ipod interface, which also does not charge the latest models. I would imagine that the power is available, and...

Hi guys - the boot lid on my 209 does not flip up when released with the key or inside button. It has never been great at this - even when new. I had a similar problem on my 203 after it had been in a bodyshop for a new boot and bumper :eek:, and the bodyshop had hooked the springs on the...

Hi, Just had new boots on the back of my W209 to replace the Continental Sport Contact 3's that were on there. they were fairly well down, but I was advised my MB (when my car was in for a warranty repair to a misted up foglight), that the rears were breaking up on the inside, and needed...

Hi Guys, Planning to change my front pads on my W209. I thought I would take the wheel off to see how the pads are... eventually got the wheel off - it was seized solid. (I gently lowered the car with the bolts out until the seal broke) The pins that hold the pads are rock solid, and corroded...

Hey guys, Has anyone here had any experience of using the new iphone 3GS with the built in Bluetooth on the COMAND NTG2.5? I know that the Bluetooth that Apple use is a lobotomized version compared to what we are used to with Nokias, but will it talk, albeit in a very limited fashion, to the...

Hey guys, Over the last couple of weeks, I have been noticing that the TMC info is not being fully downloaded and applied to the routing and maps. It seems intermittent. Yesterday I actually tuned the primary tuner to Classic FM and it grabbed everything within 2 minutes. (didn't help me...

Guys, Have searched the forum but cannot find the sequence to reset the auto box. The box has gradually become very unresponsive - the engine revs but doesn't easily seem to change down unless you really give it some - the paddles work fine, and I wondered if it had learnt some old-man driving...

MB have ordered the replacement SLK for us after the parktronic saga. They also gave us the option to add any other bits - so we went with phone pre-wire, rain sensing wipers, tyre pressure loss warning and remote roof operation. I also have the option to collect it from the factory. There...

You may have seen various references to the dodgy aftermarket parktronic retrofit that was put into my partners new SLK, when the deal was supposed to be as per factory install. Well, I met with the General Manager of the dealership group last Friday, and he explained how expensive it would...

Hi, Am I right in thinking that a 2009 SLK with COMAND -(hard disc based including SD card slot) should have a lever on the right of the steering wheel to operate the Linguatronic? I suspect that the muppet who retrofitted it on behalf of the dealer couldn't or wouldn't remove the steering...

My ipod interface arrived today at 12.05. Just finished installing and testing. works a treat, and pretty straightforward to fit. (If you've read Richards instructions that is! Thanks Richard!:thumb:) 50 minutes. :cool: Part number is B6 782 42 32 Works fine in my 08 model W209 with...

Hi, Does anybody here know a crowd called AB Solutions in Bury. Guy there apparently is Nick? Would be interested to know of any experiences with them, as they have totally failed to deliver on the retrofit of a factory parktronic system on my partners SLK (they were chosen and instructed...

:confused: Hey guys, been meaning to ask for a while, but kept slipping my mind, but saw another this morning so here goes. Does anyone know the significance of a small piece of black cloth tied around the underpart of a car at the back - typically through a towing eye or similar. I have...

Hey guys, we picked up the new SLK - 200k with manual box:o (my partners choice - not mine). The dealer has retrofitted COMAND but as yet has not come up with the manual. I wonder if anyone has a link to a PDF version online somewhere? A couple of other teething issues - the 'factory'...
