Just back from a short business trip - was away for about 4 days and the CLS battery was totally dead after being stood for this time.
Remote unlock, stereo, lights etc - nothing would work.
Mobilo came out within 30 mins to get the beast started and do some diagnosis. STAR test, battery test and what not.
Verdict was the battery was OK but there was a small drain - 0.37 amps after car shuts down. Apparently it should be under 0.1.
It was going to take too long to find out the cause there and then so he got on to local MB dealer to book in, then Enterprise to send me a shiny new CLS (or whatever equivalent car they had). All very exciting.
Just as this was arranged I had a thought - could it be the Viseeo I bought a couple of months ago. Asked him about it then we removed it, let the car shutdown and retested. Lo and behold, current drain dropped to 0.1amps.
Hence no need to get car in to dealer (or have a go in a new MB). Anyone else suffered from a duff Viseeo? Any firmware updates for these?
Or could it be a problem with the port in the car not shutting down properly?
