adding

Like most people that own several vehicles I used to insure each one individually. I had my S210, Omega Elite and Sprinter and was reasonably content with the premiums and cover. The cost for insuring these vehicles fully comprehensive was: S210 320CDI £550.00 Omega Elite Estate 3.0ltr 24V...

Hi, Was wondering if it is possible to add a viper alarm to my w211 that has a factory fitted alarm? As i mainly want the 2way remote and proximty sensor. Also would it be possible to lock the doors using the viper? Is it easy as buying a dlpk module? I am not interested in remote start etc.

Anyone had this done? retro fitted leather interior? how did it work out? what did it cost and are you happy with it? is it "as good" as a factory leather interior? I don't mean getting a set of seats off ebay, but rather getting their own seats retrimmed by someone or even getting new 'covers'...

Just bought a base model W124 E300 D. Has few if any of the optional extras, but the only extra I would like and would make use of is the cruise control. Has anyone retrofitted a cruise control to one of these? Is is ridiculously complex (eg not just adding bits, but changing half the car)...

can cruse control be added to a w202? if so do you just need the control stalk?

Just wondering if it's possible to add split folding rear seats to a W202 ? Has anyone done it ? Would it just be a case of trying to find some on ebay ? Probably not many about as it's not a popular option when new. Any thoughts/idea welcome ! ;)

hi the only thing that can let the E300D down is the lack of a turbo. has anyone on here heard of anyone fitting one - the LHD models did have turbos but they didnt fit them to RHD models because of the steering box i believe getting in the way. are there any turbo specialists anyone...

ICE numpty here. Mum's got an 06 A169CDI with the standard single-CD/radio audio installation. Can an Alpine CHA-S634 changer be integrated at all, preferably making use of the steering wheel controls? TVM, David.

My Pre facelift W203 had Command navigation fitted. How do I connect my ipod to it? I know I wont be able to control it via the button or charge it, I just want to listen to it! I have done a search but nothing really helped. Thanks

Hi all I have 2001 s320 with Comand 2.5. I have bought an FM converter IPOD thing which is easy to wire in via the ariel in on the rear of the Comand. It needs a 12v supply, I believe that the Red wire power supply to the rear of the Comand 2.5 will provde this, can I simply add the wire from...

I have fallen for my W210, really do love it, only thing that lets it down are the headlights, they are really weak, but I have had xenons on my cars for the last 5 years and going back is a bit of a shock. Is there a cost effective way of adding them?? If I do I would want to add...

Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea or have a procedure for adding a set of POIs into the COMAND SatNav system? I'm assuming that there should be a way to upload safety/speed camera data into the system similar to the way we add safety/speed camera POI files from third-party...

I have a facelift 2004 W203 and it would be handy to have an extra power socket in the boot for the new fridge box I have just purchased. I could run a lead through from the outlet in the dash, but its a bit naff. I would rather a proper socket in the boot. Has anyone added one and if so, is it...

Hello I am planning on installing some of my old Rockford Fosgate audio equipment into my ML, on doing this I thought I might as well change the headunit (currently Audio 10). I have looked at aftermarket units such as the pioneer double din unit with built in GPS but the command unit at...

Hi folks.. quick search did show up much... just got hold of a bose setup.. not really interested in the speakers or the amp (anyone) but did want the bulkhead 'carpet' with 'holes' n possibly the mounts? Q1: Any info on taking the old 'carpet' (what do you call it??) out.. Don't...

Is it possible to add full electric memory seats to a facelift W208 and what would be needed to accomplish this? I've got a tame auto electrician on board but any pointers would be really helpful.

A very minor annoyance with my sport edition is that the vanity mirrors in the sunshades are not illuminated. Does anyone know if the wiring to the mirrors is in place as standard, and if it is possible to buy replacement shades complete with the lighting ?

Has anyone out there added Steering wheel controls to a 2002 A Class (Audio 10 head unit) I've never seen it done but I gather the Audio 10 headunits have the relevant connections / pins. Thanks in advance Oliver

Hi, thought I'd share my experience of adding Digital TV to the COMAND unit in my car. I used the Dietz Multimedia interface from ebay (£135) which included all the cables to link to COMAND and English instructions, a Bush-ID digital TV tuner from Currys (£40) and Telecam Aerial and amplifier...
