aftermarket

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a ’02 CLK (W209) with an Audio 10 Cassette and 6 CD changer in the glove box. I was disappointed, but really not surprised that it couldn’t play MP3’s nor read CD-RWs (I haven’t tried CDRs, but I don’t think it plays those either). As such, I thought I would...

I think I am right in saying that the wheel bolts used for AMG/Mercedes wheels have a different fitment to those required for third party aftermarket wheels? Merc bolts/wheels have a cup whereas third party items need a tapered fitting. Is this right? I'm new to Mercs so please excuse the...

Are any of these aftermarket warranties any good? I have heard some horror stories about some, but surely some of them are sensible or am I in dream land? Any experiences (good ones I mean)?

Hi all, First post on here but found the forum v.useful since switch to a Merc from a BM. I swapped the stock Radio/CD out today (maybe and Audio 10) and have a problem with the antenna connection which i'm sure a gender bender can fix. That said, like my BM, it has two cables for the radio...

I'm sure this has been covered a gazillion times before, but my search suggestions throw up too many results! Essentially, I want to replace the Audio 10 in my CLK with a head unit that will give me hands-free phone operation (with an additional microphone) and will also plug into my iPhone...

Hi Guys I am considering putting a Kenwood DNX4210 SATNAV in my SL 500 Yr 2002. Am I right in thinking that removing the Comand will affect the clock in the dash. Thanks Terry

ECP only list one Sachs front shock for all 211's whilst MB have a specific variant for the sport. Given the current ones are likely very tired at 126k miles so I'm reasoning that anything new must be better, what's the jury's verdict on new OE v the (much cheaper) Sachs aftermarket equivalent?

I have got a double din head unit to go into a clk 320 auto coupe elegance w208 2002 51 plate. But the wiring harness/connector/iso is not a fit for my new unit. One side fits but the other has the pins in the wrong place. I cant seem to find an aftermarket harness that will fit right...

Hi all I've just bought a 2007 E220 estate. I plan to fit an aftermarket parking sensor. Has anyone done this please? Is it fairly easy to track down a reverse light feed to wire it from? Where's the easiest point to use? Thanks! Ed

I have had this beautiful car for only 6 weeks bought from MB (Drayton group) of Shrewsbury and the windscreen was hit by a stone causing a chip and crack. I want OEM replacement windscreen but the insurance company want a cheaper aftermarket windscreen they are stating that as the car is...

Hi, due to changing jobs with a long commute I've traded in my Volvo S80 T6 (18mpg) for a 2006 A Class 3dr Avantgarde SE (55mpg diesel). I have been searching around and there seems to be lots of threads asking how to disable cornering fog lamps. But nobody that I can find has asked how to...

Hi Guys, this may be useful for some people out there - I have a Gl420 CDI with the command and HArmon Kardon speaker set up + RSE , but wasnt really enjoying the nav experience on the NTG 2.0 nor the actual sound quality coming through this. Also the NTG2 is very limited for adding on extras...

Hi All, I've been restoring my W124 over the last couple of months and have just taken it to the paintshop today...the battery had gone completely flat and I had to jump start the car - I noticed that the radio and CD player aren't sending any noise out now and the headunit bleeps every couple...
