Hi Folks
I have a W205 saloon on loan whilst my car is in for some warranty work and need to fold rear seats down to get something in boot. When I asked they said it can be done from inside boot. I had a very quick look but nothing is obvious and looking at the latest sales brochure online it...
Has anyone else noticed that although the majority of the ambient lighting colour and brightness is changeable, some isn't? Such as the amber line that surrounds the front seat position switches? When ALL amber is selected it all matches but I like the blue which looks odd against the bits...
Hi,
Few things that I have noticed about the new car after moving from a W204 C63 507 Coupe:
1) I think the ride, even in comfort mode seems quite stiff - not sure this is a good thing - anyone else noticed this? Note I have a track car that is VERY stiff - I am more referring to overall...
I'm just a few days into my C Class Estate (W205) experience and loving it after 3 years with a W204 Coupe.
I'm over most of my initial 'how to' issues but today was faced with an annoying one.
In my W204, when listening to music either via iPod (media interface) or bluetooth audio to...
Long time, no post for me ...
I've just replaced my 2012 (W204) C250 CDI Coupe with a 2016 (W25) C250d Estate and had a set of alloys with winter tyres that I used to change on the Coupe myself.
Couple of questions ...
1) will these wheels fit the new car?
2) as aI have the tyre...
Hi,
I bought a new C class( 14 plate w205) about two months ago, used from the dealer. The car came with standard speakers but the sound quality is so poor in terms of bass, my Nissan primera had better bass sound than my new C class. There is a speaker on top of the front dash which...
The other day I put the car in reverse and the screen didn't change from the media screen to the reverse camera as it should. There were no error messages
I checked the options in the system setting menu, ie. that the camera should activate when R is selected and I also manually dropped the...
Hi,
Has anyone had any experience of, or can help me with, the interior lighting that runs down both sides of the gearbox tunnel?
When I open the doors at night all the interior lighting comes on except the hidden lighting that glows alongside the gearbox tunnel.
It used to work and then...
Reading another thread,and now seeing a few on the road,it struck me that looking at both models, the latest C63 isn't an improvement (externally only) to its predecessor.
OK, I accept that under the bonnet a big improvement has been made to the economy with the 4lt TT engine and the sound...
Where is the handbrake lever/selection on this car? I have it as a courtesy car whilst mines in on a service at MB.
They just gave me the key and said toodle pip. Took me five minutes before I realised how I even put it into drive
I'm hoping the handbrake is automatic as I don't fancy coming...
Hello all,
I recently took delivery of a W205 C63 and I'm keen to lower it ever so slightly and then add 10-15 mm spacers to 'beef' up the overall stance a little. I can't seem to find any kits available. Also the cars come with an adjustable ride function but it doesn't actually lover the...
I thought I'd share how I wired my dash camera in my W205 sport line.
The power lead plug supplied with the camera would not allow the lid to shut on the cubbyhole on the centre consul. I decided to use one of the USB slots instead. I bought a long USB 'A' to USB 'B' cable but initially it...
Hi,
Not as crazy as it sounds.
Basically, if in 'D' or 'R' the action of opening the door puts the car in 'P' and applies the parking break.
If the door is not fully closed, attempting to put the car in 'D' or 'R' results in the cryptic message on the console and a pinging sound:
"Risk of...
Hello, I have just taken delivery of a C200 W205 with a audio 20 CD.
It has no SD card slot !.
It is a Audio 20 CD not a USB it has a CD player and the touch controller but the miserable Irish importers don't fit the Garmin Nuvi pre wiring so no SD slot. You get two USB inputs but no SD slot in...
I have not bought a camera just yet, but wondered if the power socket inside the boot space works via the ignition switch, as I don't want to use the front one which requires leaving the cover open, plus no where to hide the wire. The other possible option is the usb inside the arm rest as the...
