aftermarket

Hi - after getting a new W208 CLK 320, the only thing I am not happy with, is the factory Audio 10 stereo and speakers. I have decided to put in one of these headunits with appropriate ISO adapter. On further reading though, it appears I need to get a CANBUS adapter thing to use the steering...

Hi to all. Has anyone fitted an aftermarket amplifier and subwoofers to a R170 SLK 2002 model, as I am busy installing one and am struggling to find a remote wire that sends signal to the amp. Does anybody know what colour wire it is, as I have almost finished the install and cannot finalise...

Hi to all. Can anyone tell me where i can find the remote wire on the main radio loom to power up the amplifier, as I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I am fitting an amp and two 12 inch subwoofers in the boot. Thanks to all, Danny.

Hi guyz, I am new to this website and new to the Mercedes club. I just bought a Mercedes W203 2001 C200 which only has a Radio Audio 10. After going through couple of websites I got to know that it can be upgraded into a Mercedes COMAND 2.0 or to a aftermarket head unit such as...

I want to improve the ice in the CL and as I mainly listen to the radio on my commute I decided to look at DAB solutions. A new device on the market is a black box that will (allegedly) send graphics to comand, use wheel controls and the cars aerial I've asked the installer to get in writing...

Has anyone tried these - are they any good? Do you need to re-balance the wheels after fitting them? Not for track days, it's just that it is too cold outside to check the tyre pressure this time of year... I currently have the EPS/ABS-based TPMS system (thanks, Alfie) but that doesn't show...

Hi guys! I have a 300e 24v and a 190e 2,3. I´m swapping the engine, getrag and diff from the w124 to the w201. First problem...the Ignition Module only works for about 5 minutes or so...and then...no spark! I´m not into electronics and don´t know how to repair it. I was...

Hi guy, I hope somebody can help, I have installed a pioneer D/din sat nab system and the radio reception is terrible FM and AM. I have tried all types of aerial adaptors but none seem to help. I did remove the interior light and noticed a black box bolted in the metal above the windscreen with...

Hi all, Could anyone recommend a warranty company for an 08 C63 that is decent and decently priced? I am currently looking at £900 (Warranty Direct) which seems a little steep compared to the £500 or so that I have seen other people quote (don't know the company though). Thanks

Hi guys, Been using the forum for some time but have now registered as I am about to make a C63 purchase. I want an LSD on the car (looking at an 09/59 model). I know these came with the early performance packs or (so I am told) as a straight-forward cost option if the PP wasn't selected...

Hi all, I've just completed fitting a set of aftermarket parking sensors to my 280SL so thought I would share. I've written up the full process on my blog together with many pictures. http://blogger.kritzinger.net/2011/12/mercedes-sl-fitting-parking-sensors.html The process was based on the...

Hi i am still working on my 300CE 1989 renovation but i have now hit a problem, and for the life of me i can not sort out. I have put in an aftermarket alarm in and when it comes to the central locking i can not figure out how to wire it in. The old alarm went to a green wire in the drivers...

I really do need to get some reversing sensors on my 2008 Vito. I have an inkling that retro-fitting parktronic may well be costly so have been looking at some aftermarket units such as the on in this link. Although the unit in the link has DVD playing capabilities, that sort of thing...

Hi Nick I did try to contact you from another post to no avail. I am a new member and don't wan't to put up 30 manufactured posts just so I can communicate with another member. I am looking for two front wings for my 2001 slk 320. I do not want to buy them from MB as it is they who caused the...

I have just bought a CLK320 (W208) and it has 18" alloys fitted with 225/40 tyres. Do I inflate to the PSI mercedes reccomend in the hand book? :dk: Cheers Sorry, I have used the search button and got the answer!

Hi, im on a mission to buy a w124 at the moment. I have found a nice car locally a 1989 E320 with 90k,leather good bodywork and the wiring loom just replaced. The only thing is it has no cruise. As i have a gammy right leg (long story but now have a new knee fitted) i find it easier to drive...

Hi, I looked at the aftermarket grills with the large Mercedes star in the centre instead of the regular version to modernise my 2002 W210 estate . Whats the verdict on quality of these items and can anyone recommend a particular seller whose product is good quality. Also who thinks they are...
