I was wondering if there was a way of finding out how much my car is depreciating each month, short of ringing a dealer every month and asking fora new quote... I was looking to downsize this month (sorry guys, Mercedes ownership is just taking its toll on me and the missus and I are looking to...

W221 s320. I was wondering if there was a way to get the system to show the actual pressure of the tyres, instead of just saying "check tyre pressure". Surely it's measuring the pressure somehow, as it knows when it's low... Or is it doing some other fancy tricks to figure it out?

For my old Windows Phone 8 device, I ended up buying an MB HFP Bluetooth adaptor (https://www.commandonline.co.uk/Mercedes_Bluetooth_HFP.html) and that worked fine - although I didn't have access to the SMS function (not really an issue, I'm not going to be sending a text while driving, even if...

Last Friday I noticed when I left the office that the glow plug warning light on my dashboard stayed on for a bit when I turned the engine on. After about 5-10 minutes, it went out again. It's been like this every day when I start the engine after it's been allowed to go cold. While the light is...

I had my car valeted yesterday at work and when I left the office I noticed that the trim on the cover for the cup holders was loose. I jiggled it a little but it wouldn't go on properly and because of the way it was sitting, the cover wouldn't lock down properly. It looks like there should be a...

Here's a weird one... I've noticed that when I get to the "reserve fuel" level, my car's engine (well, probably exhaust actually) note sounds different. It's a fair bit bassier around 900-1000RPM. When I fill her up again, she sounds normal again. Maybe the way the emptier, lighter fuel tank...

Hey folks, Last night, my car was perfectly fine. This morning while leaving the house I noticed the car felt a bit sluggish, and as the journey went on, some things became apparent: 1) The car won't rev above 3000 2) When going uphill, I can sometimes change down to help me, but...

Well, I've had my W221 for a couple of months and now the messages are telling me that "Next service B" is due in 20 days. How do I work out what this is? All I know is that B is the second shortest service interval (unless I have it backwards). In my BMW 520D (which was 3 years older than this...

Hey guys, W221 here. My OBD2 whatchmacallit arrived today, which turned out to be good timing... After leaving the office and getting into my car, and turning it on, I realised I'd left something behind. So I turned the engine off and was about to get out of the car when I decided I'd just...

Hey guys, Long shot, because I know these are comparable to hens' teeth... Does anyone have an iPod integration kit for 09 W221 (pre-facelift) that they'd be happy to part with? My local Merc garage is happy to fit a unit for me if I can get one, but they can't order them in because Mercedes...

Can anyone let me know where the OBD2 port is on pre-facelift W221s, and how to access it? What little I've been able to glean from the internet tells me it's behind the panel under the steering wheel but I can't see how to get in there easily. Or does that only apply to left-hand drive models...

I've noticed recently, mainly down to the abysmal road surfaces on the Isle of Man, that my (pre-facelift) W221 has a bit of a rattle/creak coming from the dashboard unit. It seems to be the meeting point between the plastic of the actual unit where the cluster is and the leather section on top...

Hello, New Merc owner (well, used Merc owner, but new to Merc ownership) on the Isle of Man here. Got myself a W221 S320 CDi (pre-facelift). Quite a few generous extras on the car as well: Parktronic Electric Front Seats & mirrors with Memory Telephone Pre-wiring Electric Glass Sunroof Comfort...

I recently purchased a Viseeo MB4 and it arrived today. I've been following the instructions for installing it in my car (W221), and when I plug it in and turn on my ignition, the COMAND unit stays on "Activating telephone, please wait". It's been like this for over 5 minutes now. The green...

Hey guys, I've noticed that on my centre console I have some random squares showing up, which look like the kind of symbol shown when a fonttype can't display various characters. I've attached some screenshots below.

I'm looking into using the PCMCIA slot with a CF card on my W221, and I just want some clarification because it seems some people are running into problems... 1) Would these two items be a good purchase: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003IIWT46/?tag=amazon0e9db-21...

After having no luck with my Windows Phone (car tells me it's "Authorised but unavailable"), I borrowed my boss's HTC One to test it out using the following steps: 1. Turn on bluetooth on the phone and make visible 2. Go to "Telephone" menu on car - At this point, the car told me...

Hey guys, first off - hello! I recently drove home an 09 s320 cdi, and it's a lovely motor, but I could use some assistance on the entertainment front. I have the aux port (audio l/r & video) in the glove box, and the phone prewiring kit (central storage compartment has that small connector...
