traffic

My first post and it's a "help" please. I have a new SLC delivered today. I have bought the Garmin SD card which works fine BUT I cannot fathom how to get traffic info. When I search it says traffic needs a subscription and it displays a TomTom logo, but it's a Garmin! Can anyone please help to...

My W212 E350 has the standard fit traffic warning system which has saved me a whole heap of problems. The licence screen (Tom Tom)says it's all up to date and valid. However, my car will soon be 3 years old and out of warranty. So I'm planning in advance for the next step. Please tell me...

Hi Guys, I was wondering does anyone know what, if any, powers they have, regarding speeding offences. I may be mistaken, but I am under the impression they have no authority and find it quite annoying when drivers slam on the brakes and crawl past them at 65MPH. Anyone know for sure...

So, a week ago my sister was stopped in her ML by the traffic cops for having no MOT. Silly girl. It had expired 10 days ago and she was "waiting" for the reminder which I told her you don't get anymore. Now, the traffic officer was very good to her and said, take it to the Mercedes dealer...

Hi Guys, Over last several months, my W208 has infrequently stalled, during light traffic. My trusted indy couldn't see anything amiss during it's service. Since then, and after doing a long trip during the weekend, it's has noticeably started to lurch and stall during slow traffic. On...

Hi Just a quick question. My new C Class Estate is being delivered early February. It is the Sport line so has the Garmin Map Pilot Sat Nav installed as standard. I also note on the configuration that it should be also come with Live Traffic Information (SA_B54). I've had some conflicting...

Hi all, Looking for a little advice. I have a 1999 clk320 a208 (the convertible version of the w208) 5 speed auto box not triptronic She has done 80k and has a full service history. owned her now for about 8 months and few minor issues all dealt with but this weekend stuck in slow moving...

I was stuck in a tailback this evening on the A3. Crawling along at between 4 and 10 MPH for 45 minutes, so over 5 more likely 10 miles of traffic. I expected to see a major incident. Nope, one car almost totally on the verge with a police car behind it with the nearside lane coned off for about...

How to annoy a traffic warden

Hi folks, I have just bought a 2012 C180 1.6 auto petrol and not having driven an auto for many years wonder how best to drive up a long steep hill in stopping/starting traffic. A few months ago a bus caught fire on the A55 between St Asaph and Caerwys. This led to me being stuck in a queue...

I've read the manual, pressed the appropriate buttons and confirmed COMAND says TA off yet still I get irrelevant traffic announcements. How do I switch it off once and for all. Please!

Today has been very hot and in traffic the engine radiator temp has been one bar above 80 which i think is 90 and seems normal to me. However when I plugged in the Torque Andriod app it reported the temp around 95 C in traffic. I checked the electric fan in the engine bar and that was...

Hi all, i have sat nav on my Comand on my CLK facelift but ive noticed when i look at the map it shows heavy traffic by amber and red cars on the road but when im actually navigating using the comand it doesnt warn or divert me from that traffic, anyone else get this?

Bit of an odd one. My 190e drives very well and in general driving the temp gauge never goes over half way. However I was stuck in the north circ on a hot day in solid traffic (almost same place with heavy traffic idling alongside, there was a crash or something further up) and after a while...

For some reason the live traffic information has stopped working such that regardless of where I navigate to, there are no traffic problems to be had. In contrast to the Map app no my HTC, and the fact that I'm actually sitting in a jam! Any thoughts what can be done to rectify? It's on a...

The outside temperature guage on my W209 consistantly reads high when I'm stopped in traffic or when the car is just stopped and idling (read over 30 the other day). This has been an ungoing problem as the only time the indication is reliable is when I'm doing steady road speeds. Have read an...

W211 with NTG1 When I put rear screen on it causes interference on any radio channel (this has only started happening fairly recently) Also, the unit has great difficulty "latching" on to traffic news so I wondered if the events connected? Any thoughts?

OK, so now I've finally got a Samsung Galaxy 4 with data traffic enabled (and paid for by work), and the connection works -- I can log on access the MB online services via Bluetooth with no problem. But TomTom HD Traffic doesn't seem to be working, the satnav is still using TMC for traffic...

Hi, I have a month old eclass and was wondering if I need a phone connection to make it work? The latest stand alone tomtoms don't need this as they have a built in data modem, just wondering if this is the case with command online. Also How would I know if it is using tomtom live or TMC...

Dear all I wonder if you can help. My R129 SL500 has a recurring problem. After a long drive and having been in heavy traffic, it will surge then nearly stall when slowing to a stop. Appears to be when the gearbox down changes from 2nd to 1st (it's a 98 car with 5-sp electronically controlled...
