I've recently bought a Mercedes Nokia 6300 Bluetooth Mobile Cradle A2048201551, plugged it in the armrest, followed the instruction in pairing it with the phone, and once paired, it connects then disconnects after a second. It appears to be the same problem as this, found on a Nokia forum...

I’ve just read the thread mentioned above and my heart sunk. I have a CLK55 AMG 2003 model and last week began to get the exact same symptoms as described. When the car is changing gear it very softly judders before picking up revs and accelerating. Now the car is booked into Olly’s for next...
