retrofitting

Hello all, I have just purchased a 2003 E270 CDI and am well pleased - First thing I have done is join the club! So I am very new to owning an MB, so please bear with me! My E270 has a CD changer in dash but does not have navigation, so I am in the process of buying a unit for a retrofit. Am...

Hi A friend has decided to fit a Comand 2.0 to his 1999 CLK after seeing my Comand in my ML. Is there a guide retro fitting guide for fitting a Comand to a CLK? If not can anyone offer any advice. Does the CLK have CAN-BUS at the stereo? Does the CLK have the VSS wire at the stereo...

Hi Well, I took out the factory fit 6310i from my wife's MY2002 ML (well, it used to be a 6210 until I upgraded the controller), and installed the UHI system (as is installed in MY2004 MLs) I wanted to do it "like the factory" as I had already added voice recognition, rather than using the...

There are so many W210 Comand units on eBay, mostly from Poland, some from other parts of eastern Europe, going for £300-400, that I've begun to think about retrofitting Comand to my '98 E300 TD. Has anyone done this, can they recommend it or otherwise?

There are a couple of threads in this forum about replacing failed seat heater pads - it seems fairly straightforward, but time consuming. I can't find anything though about adding heater pads to an original non-heated seat. Has anyone done this ? Can it be done ? If so I'd like to add seat...

Anyone got any info on what i need to buy and whether its more hassle than its worth? Are there any parts that need replacing that arent obvious etc, and would i be better off with a HID conversion kit or the standard MB CLK xenon kit? Thanks

Approximately 6 months back I acquired some brand new 15" AMG Type 2 alloys (the genuine thing - MB logo and part nos stamped inside) off of eBay. The reasons I elected to stick with 15" wheels were; 1) I had renewed the tyres about 3 months beforehand therefore only 3-4,000 miles on them, and...

Hi all, Husband has a C-240 Avant Garde (2003 reg.) and would like to have SatNav retrospectively fitted. Not interested in the "portable" systems (TomTom etc) but wants the actual Mercedes-specific integrated one that fits into the central dash. Apparently this would have come as an optional...

Can anyone help me to install this item I recently bought in Germany. It included leads and GPS unit but no instructions. My local "Road Radio" haven't been able to help and I am reluctant to ask M-B at £000's per hour. Does anyone in the Reigate (J8 of M25) know a fitter with experience...

When I ordered the beast failed to notice that the changer was not on the spec. No matter, I would get one retrofitted. Well, after a great deal of pratting around, dealer has finally come back & said yes, they can now source the OEM Becker changer which slides so nicely in & out of the...

Good mornining and seasons greetings! does anyone have experience of retrofitting a third row of seats? in my case its for my 1988 W124 E class estate, I have been given a good quote from a breakers, is it a straightforward job? Any problems with setbelt fittings? I wonder if all the...

Is this an easy mod? Does the motors come with the faclift mirrors or are they on the car body.? Can these be retrofitted with Indicator mirrors? How much could I sell auto dimmin power pre facelift? Sorry if the questions appear silly just my car is pre facelift. Thanks Ian

Seen some mirrors on ebay. Could anyone tell me if this is a hard or straight forward mod. How much are they? Cheers Ian ebay

My local MB dealer just giggled when I asked about the required parts to do the job, with no offer of a parts breakdown whatsoever. On some Vw's its as simple as replacing the indicator stalk and reprogramming the chip! Does *anyone*know whats involved on 124's?
