    Ghost in my E class

    As AMgeed suggested a leaking internal battery within the alarm is more than likely the cause, I had similar problems and removed the fuse from the rear SAM until i got a replacement. Easy job to remove the front nearside wheel and liner then it's plug and play

    Command head unit failure

    I had the same thing happen to me. I purchased one from the Bay which had the same part numbers, which is important. You will then have to have it coded to your car using STAR because the anti theft will stop it from working. Hope this helps.

    Command map data

    Hi I had the same problem ie. swopping out the head unit and having it coded back into the car by an indy, but you will have to purchase the maps again as the map on your new unit will not match your car. I had to purchase from Ebay for maps and that worked a treat for me.

    Instrument Cluster

    I purchased the Turtlewax headlight restorer for my wife's car and had plenty of the light abrasive fluid left, and just used that very sparingly, I imagine u could use a very small spot of T-Cut on a dry cloth, just enough to gently clean it up. Hope this helps

    Instrument Cluster

    Agree with markjay, clean and remove the anti-glare coating, I had to do this on my Comand screen and got an anti-glare screen from the Bay, very similar to what u put on your mobile phone.

    C class window noise when winding down

    Yes I agree with Martin, silicone spray 2 to 3 times a year and you should have no more bother at all.

    W211 - Fitting in a Android Head Unit

    Hi I had a 2004 W211, but sold it 4 years ago, but I did change the radio unit and installed an Erisin from Ebay which would be about 5 years ago, it was quite a simple process and it worked very well, I would expect that they are even better now. So have no fear in fitting it, I can't quite...

    I think it is probably the NTG4.7 Comand system, they installed them up to 2016, it should have an SD card slot on the front, try looking in the centre arm rest for the USB socket. And welcome to the forum

    W212 Head unit help needed.

    Hi, I had a similar issue and purchased a unit from the Bay. You do not need any info from the donor car with regard to the VIN, my advice is buy one with the same ID and fit it, you will then need to take it to a local Indie who has Star and have it coded,incidently, I paid £80 for coding and...

    Comand NTG4.7 not switching on

    Update, I purchased a Comand unit from the Bay without any code, and fitted it to the car and sure enough up came the Anti theft warning. I gave the car over to my local indie and he simply coded it to the car and hey presto, everthing is up and running again. I then purchased a new map update...

    Comand NTG4.7 not switching on

    Many thanks for your advice, the one i spotted on the bay is the same part number A212 900 6426 but he could not provide any radio code, so may not bother with this one. I have emailed my local mechanic who has Star and asked him if this would be compatable without the radio code.

    Comand NTG4.7 not switching on

    Hi, Update, having left my car with the dealer for a diagnostic check with regard to my Comand system not working, they told me the Comand system needed to be replaced, quote £2600 shock horror. I declined this offer, however, it did confirm that the previous mechanic was, indeed, right and that...

    Comand NTG4.7 not switching on

    Update, I have just had the car serviced and spoke to my local garage who has Star and explained that the Comand was not working and how the control button was just flashing. He told me that Star checked out the system and all was ok and that I need a new Comand unit which he will supply, I...

    How do these things communicate?

    Ahh! Sounds as if your getting there at long last., the speed sensor should be an easy fix. I know that the battery gave me a lot of problems ie. no indicators working and Comand switching itself on and off, even when it did work it switched off when i put the car into park. Changing the battery...
