I get false alarms from the park distance thingy at the front starboard side of the car. It's intermittent (isn't it always?). I pull up at a junction or at traffic lights and "beeeeeep" with all the little light segments on. It then goes away for a few days. I'm guessing I just have a dodgy...

The whole point of having a Mercedes is to have the star in the circle at the front of the bonnet. It's a great aiming device for cyclists. Just get the cyclist lined up inside the circle and floor it. Works well for pedestrians, too. I'm obviously joking but we do see a lot of the lycra-clad...

I put fresh batteries in both keys a year ago when I bought the car (just a precaution) and all worked fine until about a month ago when things went awry. I get "key still in vehicle" when I am getting into the car and "key not detected" when I try to start it. No warning about the batteries...

Wow you guys know your stuff. So, today I left the armrest cover open so that I could eyeball the puck after I leave the car. If I just leave the car and close the door it stays very active (blue light on a lot). I then lock the car and the blue light goes dim and flashes every few seconds. It...

Thanks all. I'll keep the CLK350 for a while longer and then go for the CLK 55 or even, maybe an AMG-flavoured 63. I'm not very keen on the styling of the new E-class cabriolet. Starting to look all wierd like BMW.

I'll take onother look. The AA guy said that the car stays "awake" for 45 minutes after I turn it off and leave it. I'll do just that but will leave the centre armrest open so that I can see the puck from the outside without opening the car. If it goes off in 30 - 45 minutes them maybe it's just...

I don't know. I bought the update for the sat-nav and I fully understand that this is not connected to the operating system. I have tried and failed to get an update disk for the operating system (is that what you mean when you say COMAND?). Thanks for the very quick response by the way.

My son started this particular ball rolling when he said that I could supercharge The Beast. CLK 350 is fairly quick anyway but I headed off into Google as you do. A Danish company called Kleemann makes the supercharger and there are a few UK people who can do the job. It looks like it will...

I bought the official Mercedes Blackberry bluetooth adapter (MB-BT-HFP-1) from COMAND online and it all works perfectly EXCEPT that it doesn't turn off when the COMAND shuts down. This gave me a flat battery last week. The AA guy, who used to work at the local dealer and was starting my car...

The car is an awesome thing in the full meaning of that word. I fail to understand the B&O thing though. In my humble opinion B&O is nice kit but any audiophile will tell you it's mostly style and Philips underneath. Nothing wrong with Philips, per se, but I would rip it all out and have Naim...
