    W211: Can I leave the windows down without the alarm going off?

    Thanks all. I only asked because I wanted to nip out and open the windows, and I didn't have the manual in the car (I do now!) There is indeed a button, amongst a plethora of buttons, on the overhead console, which disables the interior alarm so you can leave windows down and pets in side...

    W211: Can I leave the windows down without the alarm going off?

    The plasti-leather seats are proving very uncomfortable in this heat wave. They just don't cool down. Anyways, to try to alleviate this, can I leave the windows down while it sits in the office car park without fear of the alarm going off?

    Random choice of source when switching stereo on

    My 09 E Class has the COMAND system. It has the radio of course, and I have music on the hard disk, an SD card and on a mp3 DVD. Even though I may be listening to one source, such as radio, when I switch off, when I get back in again it regularly starts up with another source. I've not noted...

    good / recommended Indy in Manchester?

    I have just picked myself up off the floor. MB Chester, where I bought the vehicle, have quoted £801.45. I can get a decent car for that. SPR it is then!

    good / recommended Indy in Manchester?

    My E class is due a service. It's coming up 4 years old, 36,000 miles and so I gather is due a B service and a gearbox service. SPR have quoted me £200 plus £130 plus VAT , so just a few pennies off £400. Being new to posh car ownership, I've never been faced with the prospect of such a bill...

    How do I select Aux In?

    ...I know the answer is RTFM but I am away from work, no manual and want to listen to something on a long journey tonight! My W220 with Command has an Aux socket in the glove box, I have a connector cable, but no obvious way of selecting Aux. Is there a button staring me in the face that I...

    W211 Auto Dimming Mirror

    Thanks. Will there be a connector dangling loose in there or would I have to cobble something together? Also, any idea where I might get such a mirror? I cannot see any on ebay UK (not even 'completed') so they are obviously quite rare. I've seen some from international sellers but I'm not sure...

    W211 Auto Dimming Mirror

    I was rather disheartened to find my W211 doesn't have an auto dimming mirror. I thought it would be a standard feature on a car of this class. Anyway, is one available as an after market item and if so, is it easy to install? (I have seen references to them for other models but not the W211).

    All you wanted to know about Comand APS NTG 2.5

    I know this is a little old but thought I would add some of my own findings after owning a W211 with NTG 2.5 for a couple of months. Overall it’s decent but the let downs for me are the mediocre sound quality, the lack of iPod integration without hideously expensive add ons, the limited...

    halfords 3 for 2

    Doesn't the Fast Glass dry as a powder, if I recall correctly? I never got on with that.

    Nasty indicator stalk!

    The other thing I don't like about it is that since it incorporates the wiper controls, and I leave them on auto all the time, my fingers do not rest in the indentations, but on the edge (if this is making sense). I also find it is placed too low down at about 8 o'clock - who keeps their hands...

    Support for Dual Layer DVDs

    Is anyone able to confirm whether the DVD reader in the NTG2.5 reads home burned dual layer DVDs packed with mp3 files? If it does work, what brand discs are you using?

    Dension Gateway 500

    I have an NTG2.5 Comand in my W211. The limitations of the built in memory and SD card capacity are driving me nuts so I want a proper integrated iPod solution. I now that I can get the proper MB kit for circa £180 (plus installation) and that will allow me to operate using the...

    A few questions about NTG2.5 COMAND

    I do have an iPod, I was just trying to avoid having to fork out for the connection kit (£180, plus installation). How many folders and files (songs) do you have on your SD card? Although I have had my firmware on my NTG2.5 updated, I still have the 255 folders / 4000 files limit. If there...

    halfords 3 for 2

    Yes I stocked up last week. To be honest, this offer seems to be on more often than not in recent years so it hardly makes sense to buy anything when there isn't an offer on. Trouble is, I can never decide what to get as the third item. Consequently I have a lifetime's supply of tyre blackener!

    Nasty indicator stalk!

    I've only had my W211 a few weeks and i am generally very impressed by the quality, feel, fit and finish of everything. One thing that really lets the side down is the indicator stalk. It's very unsatisfying to move up and down, and it springs back like a shotgun, causing the whole steering...

    SD Card - Is there a limit?

    No. I bought it from a big seller on Amazon (Komputerbay) with good feedback. I have been trying to establish whether it's a limitation of my card reader or PC but with no success.

    SD Card - Is there a limit?

    I need to slightly revise my comment on the 64gb card. When playing around with it on my PC late last night I noticed that in Windows Explorer it was only showing 32gb capacity!

    SD Card - Is there a limit?

    Just for info. I got a 64gb card (mainly for use on my video/media player) but my NTG2.5 reads it. I still have the "problem" with the limit on folders and tracks, but I guess one benefit is it will let me rip higher quality/larger giles.
