I thought it was the supplementary battery, and local Norauto (Spanish Kwik fit) changed...

    W211 E320 CDI - Xenon - Headlight Part Number?

    The seller is saying these are "Kurven lichts" which i presume is a system to follow the curve of the road - is this an optional extra, or is the 2004 W211 320 CDI standard with these?

    Thanks for replies! Cannot see any aux socket in glove box...car is from 2004, so no iPod socket. Only socket I can see is phone connection inside centre console. Vin is wdb2110262a627813 If someone could link to the adaptor I need that would be great. Cheers

    Hi guys, I have a w211 from 2004, which of course has no Bluetooth capability....what's the easiest way to steam music from my phone? Can I use the pin plug inside centre console with some kind of Bluetooth adapter? What kit would I need? Or should I just install a parrot device? Thanks

    I can´t see in the service book if it´s been done or not. I bought the car at around 60k, so I´m guessing it hasn´t.

    w211 - Setting Time When GPS Broken?

    Thanks for your reply, Diesel Benz. Any idea which fuse controls the main dash? Can´t see it on the fuse diagram. Would I need to take the fuse out for the Command unit at the same time? Doesn´t Command have a backup memory, and will simply adjust the clock to the old (incorrect) time...

    Command Unit Problem With DVD

    It´s secondhand....from ebay, so I guess that´s the risk you take unless you want to pay 800 quid. I´ve taken the fuse out....maybe I could try a cleaning disk. The CD changer is working correctly, so that´s something. Rarely use the DVD, but it´s just annoying. It looks genuine as far as...
