My car does not have BOSE and to the best of my knowledge never did. The Audio 30 tapedeck I have was purchased second hand. The factory wiring in my car has two ISO plugs - one for the speaker cables and one for the power/earth etc. The rear of the Audio 30 seems to have 5 extra pins in a...

At present my W210 estate has a 'high-power' Alpine head unit powering the factory standard front and rear door speakers. I am looking at some options to improve the stereo. However, though I have previously installed systems in other cars using several amps, hiqh quality cables, custom...

Not sure what I am going to do yet - I may remove the Audio 30 and install a nice Alpine which is something I tend to do on all my cars and then install an amp somewhere. My Audio 30 still isnt right - no illumination and stays on even with the ignition off - anyone know if other 'Audio' ranges...

BUMP Any ideas? Stu

Sounds interesting........ are you advising me of what to get or are you offering one for sale?

If at any time the software has been reset then the box will re-learn how you drive and respond accordingly. I think it does this from new? Maybe this was done and one of the previous owners drove very slowly and steadily so the box 'learned' that style of driving? Stu

I have a 1999 W210 E300TD The previous owner had the engine re-mapped with a Superchips chip. Power, apparently, is up from 177hp to 221hp and lb/ft torque up by nearly 100 to 400. My mate owns and runs a W210 E300 saloon and says my car is noticeably faster and more powerful. I havnt...

I see there are several types of Mercedes Audio radio range ie the Audio 30 tape/radio and the Audio 10 CD player and Audio 10 tape player etc? But, are they all the same inside .ie do they all sound as good as each other? I have an Audio 30 tape which appears to be faulty so I am considering...

Worn box - sounds a problem to me. I understand these boxes are very expensive to replace and difficult to repair? Stu

When it first started playing up I immediately booked it in for a service. New filter, seals, replacement ATF fluid and electric interface plug (cant remember the proper name) all done by an independent Mercedes specialist. The fault codes did say the box had been slipping - I think I remember...

The seller has emailed me back - the radio is from a 1998 'V' reg E200. Stu

Hi, What's 'canbus' please? My car is a 1999 'T' reg. I thinks its prefacelift as it doesnt have the fancy silver sills or silver bumper bottoms. 'C' connector? Is that a third ISO plug? I dont think mine has that. Maybe its been tucked out the way - I shall have a look in daylight. I...

BUMP! I am having similar issues with my automatic W210. It sometimes gets stuck in one gear, but turning the engine off and starting the car again cures it.....for a bit! Then it drives fine. My car has a superchip remap - why do these cause problems? What is the 'electric plate'...

I have just purchased a Becker Audio 30 tape/radio from ebay. I have plugged it into my 1999 W210 with the standard factory wiring but I don't think its working properly. Can anyone advise: 1. When I turn the ignition off the radio/tape stays on. Even if I remove the key. Should it not...

BUMP Any ideas? Can anyone confirm if parking sensors were in fact a factory option?

My W210 E300TD estate has reverse parking sensors. I am told they are the factory fitted option ones. They don't work. There is a distinct double beep when I put the autobox in reverse but nothing else. The previous owner tells me they never worked in the 18months he had the car and he always...

There is no rear shelf on the estate. The W210 saloon has two small bass drivers in the rear shelf using the bootspace as volume for them. It adds to the stock system but cant' compete with a sealed 10" unit. A great upgrade for the W210 is two 8 inch free air subs under the rear shelf...

I have some left over sound deadening material for just this type of work. The reason for not fitting a second amp is simply not wanting to run numerous speaker cables from the 2nd amp to the doors. With one mono amp under the rear seat all I need is an RCA and a remote-on lead from the HU to...

Hello, I'm a newbie with an ICE question. My 199 W210 E300TD has a standard audio system (non-BOSE) which I wish to improve. My plan is to upgrade the cabin speakers in the doors and have them run direct from the head unit which is a high spec/high power Alpine unit which has a built in...
