switched

I've just put a Sony MP3/CD into my 2000 CLK but had a minor problem with the wiring. Like other head units I've come across the Sony requires a permanent live for the memory and a switched live so it switches off when the keys are removed. I can't find a switched live, the yellow is permanent...

Thinking about a 1996-2000 Boxster 2.5 or 2.7, but don't really know much about them. Anyone care to enlighten me? Service costs, driving and general specs? One thing i would like is a hard top (removable), so i wouldn't have the worry of the rag top in non-summer months. This is against...

Hi, I have a 2000 R129 today it decided to refuse to switch the heater blower fan off. When I switched the ignition off the fan turned itself on to pretty much full. I put the ignition back on I could control the fan speed normally. The "rest" button also controls the heating as it should. I...

On my 06 W211, I'm looking to take a switched 12v feed from the cigar lighter. There are 3 wires, a brown, a grey and a red with a white stripe. Is the red wire a switched 12v? And is the brown an earth? If so, what's the grey one? Thx FBB

Today, while I was driving home, the navigation, which was just sputtering because I'd turned off the chosen route, suddenly rebooted. Nothing else seemed to do this, the CD continued to play and the telephone remained connected, vie SAP BT. When navigation had finished rebooting my input was...

Hi guys, great to have found this forum. Kicking myself I didn't find it whilst I was in UK. Am now in Sydney and have brought my UK 1996 C220 92k miles along with me. So still feel aligned to the UK. No doubt car is aging so have few items to be looked at. First obvious one is a loud high...
