retrofitted

Well,most people wouldn't attempt this but I'm a pig headed bugger so I attempted to fit the 2013 black artico/alcantara red stitched interior from a saloon into a 2010 estate!! Obviously the fronts were a doddle but converting a saloon split fold into an estate rear fold was an absolute swine...

Hi all, I retrofitted NTG2.5 recently to my 2007 w203 and everything is working fine. I took the car to MB Tech in Warrington to get the unit updated as its on the oldest firmware revision, and recode the unit for AUX rather than UCI. Unfortunately MB Tech were not able to do it as they...

A huge thank you to Mark and Richard at Comand.co.uk for retrofitting a paddleshift steering wheel and airbag to my C350 Elegance, but more importantly for making it work by coding and magic! Thank you for fitting me in on a most chaotic day for all of us! The car now has manual mode shown in...

I've searched this and didn't find any info so thought i'd start a thread which may be useful to others. I miss driving a 211 because of the 2 part visor which is excellent when your constantly changing angles and in most other cars you only have the one visor to flip back and forth. I...

Can it be done. I was loaned a 212 ages ago and loved it bar the seats, they are substandard and poor and do not allow for a good driving position for my bad back. However, a drive of an E500 coupe and that has subliminal seats, mounted nice and low. So, can it be done, can the seats from the...

My W210 E55 AMG doesn't have a fuel computer but I wish it did. Yes I do work out my MPG from my fuel receipts but I want to see what I'm getting to the gallon at any instant or be able to average it over a certain stretch. Now, does MB make these cars with everything in and simply disable...

Hi I've just retrofitted a comand unit into my 98 CLK320. My car apparently has the Bose upgrade fitted but because it is pre 2001 it is an analoge type with standard speaker connections (ie, not fibre). To me the sound is different from the 'Special' head unit I've just removed and if I...

Can an option code 537 DAB radio be fitted to a 2007 W221 S500L that was built without it? If so, what are the likely costs? Clearly the DAB radio is RRP 320 inc VAT as an option, but is the price of the option equipment and what are likely labour costs?
