aftermarket

I've recently swapped out the command 2 systems with a pioneer car play unit. I've managed to get most of the wiring sorted from previous threads on here but the only outstanding item is the steering wheels controls. I've used the connects 2 adaptor CTSMC006.2 I'm assuming to get them working I...

After having my CLKs interior facelifted the old comand would no longer fit. I decided to have an aftermarket unit fitted rather than a comand to save costs. A Kenwood unit was fitted which had good reviews etc. The sound just doesn't match what the old comand from 2003 delivered which...

So I've had my C63 PPP a few months and looking to tinker with it a little bit. I think my first "upgrade" is going to be a Quaife LSD. Rational is I'd rather have this on my car to put the power down before getting it mapped.. With that being said, any recommendations of where to get this...

Hi I've finally settled on a grill for my E55 so have these 2 for sale. They are for W211 facelift 06 onwards or anyone with the E63 front end conversion. One is chrome the other gloss black.. the chrome one has a tiny crack on the edge (see pic) but doesn't effect fitting. Could easily be...

Hi, I'm considering options for improving the light from the dipped/main beam lights on my CLS W219 which is decidedly average. I am currently running with some generic halogen bulbs. I have considered HID however this has proven too difficult/expensive to implement properly (i.e. safely) so I...

It's like sitting on an ice rink in the morning - darn buying a car in the summer! Is it possible to fit aftermarket heated seat pads in a W211? Is there a kit that works well? I know that OE is realistically out of the question on a facelift because it would need a wiring loom, SAM...

Hi in2digi have now launched their fully integrated (i.e use it via the head unit's DAB controls as shown in the car's manual) for NTG4.5 cars. See https://www.commandonline.co.uk/in2digi-D-MB-2.html The NTG4.5 car's head unit needs to have a fibre optic connection, which means it needs...

Hi - I recently bought a replacement drivers side wing mirror, as the OEM Merc mirror had become "foggy". The OEM Merc mirror has 4 wires going into it, the new mirror has 2 x tags for soldering. Photos attached - OEM has plug and wires, new mirror has only tags for soldering wires onto...

Will fitting an aftermarket headunit mean that I will lose anyother functionality in 2003 w209 as I think I read somewhere about the fibre optics? Thanks

Any suggestions on a Pioneer head unit that will allow me to use all 7 speakers I can place in my 2003 CLK (2 tweeters + 2 front + 2 rear + 1 subwoofer) or at least 5 speakers (2 front + 2 rear + 1 subwoofer)? I'm not looking for something very expensive or very cheap and I would like a nice...

Anyone good with HID stuff? One of my headlights is much brighter than other one, can't see anything in dark. Got aftermarket HIDS, changed the bulbs still same, swapped over the ballasts and no luck so ballasts and bulbs are fine. Any ideas guys? Could it be the headlight itself? Doing my head...

So after having my CLS63 (W219) for over a month, I thought the possibility of head bolt and tappet issue wouldn't worry me too much, or at least, too soon, however I'm thinking of one thing or the other and can't quite decide which way to go. Do I pay for the SLS buckets and revised (or...

Hello I want to fit a branded aftermarket unit pioneer/kenwood. Main reason is USB slot and Bluetooth. I'm a complete beginner at this so please bear with me: How easy is it to remove the current unit? An aftermarket unit will physically slot straight in? The trim surround is my main...

1. Does anyone recognise this make ? 2. Anyone got instructions for it? 3. Can the fecking loud beeps be toned down a bit? :D

Hello, My Bluetec W212 came without spare wheel and - which I can't understand HOW ON EARTH SOMEONE THOUGHT IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA? - without space for one! But as I don't want want to be caught up in the middle of nowhere without spare I thought that I could get one and just keep it in the...

I want to replace the nav in the car with a new unit specifically the Pioneer avh-x8700bt what adapters do I need to retain things like wheel controls etc? Cheers

Hi guys, I just wondered if you could advise on your experience of replacing a battery in my E320 CDI. I'm suspecting it is somewhat knackered, everything is fine generally but now and then I'll get a message about functions being turned off when it's sat for 24 hours or so. I'm not sure...

Hi I'm after the aftermarket c63 style alloys and needed a help from the guys who had an experience with the sellers on eBay or gumtrees or somewhere else. Thanks

When our 2003 CLK's Comand screen failed, I sent it to be repaired by Maple Audio. Unfortunately when it needed a further warranty repair, Hermes lost the parcel in transit, so I decided to fit a more up to date radio/GPS unit instead. I chose a Windows CE-based 7 inch touchscreen...

I currently have a 2003 S211 Merc E55 estate that has a factory fitted tpms. i need replacement sensors as its likely the battery on them has expired, will be checking on Star to confirm. However I am trying to find cheaper alternatives than the £90 for oem parts which are Huf Rde001 and the...
