    Way of finding out if W124 is below a certain speed

    Something like this TK Timer 1*60 - TKT160 might fit that bill - it will active the relay when triggered (mode B) and stay for X seconds. Brake pedal would be the trigger, so brake and the sensors come on for X seconds, brake again the timer restarts. Might not be what you after and maybe...

    No Address Book Name on Multi Function Display

    Bit of a bump, but don't suppose any other W204 COMAND owners can report back what happens on their cars?

    Cigarette Socket 12v Flap Removal

    Took another look today and success! Managed to remove the flap and didn't break anything so putting it back together is still possible. There is still a 'frame' that is certainly not coming off unless the socket is removed, but for my purposes I am hoping that doesn't need to be removed...

    Gap Insurance for a new car?

    The Brabus chip is not a Brabus car just an ECU mod essentially. The car is still a normal Mercdes. It is exactly that ' fitted with non manufacturer specified modifications' clause that I wanted confirmation on. My view was it is a manufacturer specified mod as MB sell it, fit it and MB still...

    No Address Book Name on Multi Function Display

    I only just noticed this as I over Christmas I finally sorted out importing my address book into COMAND...anyway...On an incoming call the COMAND display correctly identifies the number and caller, however on the multifunction display it only shows the number. Now I tend to not bother having...

    Gap Insurance for a new car?

    I went with click4gap for RTI cover, the main reason being they would cover the car with the Brabus chip (some places class it as a mod and therefore a no go). I didn't go with MB cover as I seem to recall they wouldn't cover theft if the keys were taken. Obviously leaving them in the car whilst...

    Cigarette Socket 12v Flap Removal

    By coincidence was also up at dealer having some leaky pipe fixed that they spotted last time the car was in. Asked the parts guy who seemed to think you have take the flap off after removing some clips, but he wasn't the usual bloke, so wasn't that convinced by his knowledge. However I did...

    Sat Nav updates, This seems cheap?

    Seems too cheap and if you read the terms then it suggests these are to be used as 'backup' media to software you already own for those users who lack the know-how to backup their DVDs themselves. So, certainly a dark grey area, but I have no doubt that you will receive something that works...

    Cigarette Socket 12v Flap Removal

    I am thinking of getting something like Belkin Micro USB Auto Charger: RRP $24.95 which is a small flush'ish fitting usb socket which fits into the cigarette socket. The one I plan to get is more flush as it has a little handle to pull it out with, but that isn't that relevant. My...

    Never had tracking or alignment done there, but have had tyres fitted a few times - did a good job, know what they are doing and have a good reputation.

    Laptop Wireless issue, help please!

    Not sure if that relevant to this issue, but don't forget SSID's are case sensitive - 'mynetwork' and 'Mynetwork' are two different wireless networks as far the as the wireless software and broadcasting are concerned.

    the glow light stays on

    I am not technical by any means but I can echo that diagnosis - same thing happened to me a few months ago....light stayed on for a few minutes after engine start. Also got the 'Check Engine' light come after a while as well (few days of glow plug light coming on). Glow plug swapped under...

    Coolant Warning after Service

    It looks a little lower now, but I am attributing that to expansion (was about 75degrees when checked yesterday) and the car hasn't been started this morning. However still going to put some coolant in and monitor.
