    UMI disappeared when retrofitting Comand Ntg4

    As said, interior lights are linked to the light sensor on the front screen, during daylight they remain off until its dark enough then they will come on when you open the door. Its a nice little touch.

    C Class Loss of Power issue

    Know how you feel, Merc's are shoddy money pits, even the main dealers with STAR don't have a fecking clue when they go wrong, if they have to think outside of the beloved STAR they know sod all.

    Unstable electrics

    Unstable electrics

    Sounds like a spike in the CAN network. CAN sits at 60ohms with 120ohm resistor at each end. Check the resistance on the can line with a multimeter.

    Aerial in front of radiator

    That's a GSM antenna, so pretty useless for TV/temp probe or CB radio.

    Aerial in front of radiator

    2003 w203 illumination question

    When you take the vents out the rear of the thumbwheels are hollow, so it wouldn't take much to stick an led behind them and wire them into the ashtray light. I'm an automotive electrician, so If I get time I will see what's involved and how easy it will be.

    2001 CLK 230k (W208) - does it have an amp? If so, where?
