Distance Control Unit + Hi Fi Upgrade

[Mark Hans]

Greetings. I've been a MB guy for years, now my new toy, a 2006 350CLK.
Fabulous car.

OK, I want to upgrade to Distance control. The limiter for speed (opposite of cruise control) works electronically on the brakes, so I wonder, how to upgrade to the distance control, which works on the front sensors (already in place) and uses electronic braking (as said, used already on the Limiter). My MB workshop here in Amsterdam are scratching their heads....

Any ideas anyone......

Hey Alps. I just got onto MBenznl site. They are rather near where I live and the site is awesome. My wallet was just seen exiting the door at a very fast rate.
I think I have found the right place to do a few 'tweaks' to an already awesome car.

Any ideas where I could get a technical explanation of how the 3.5 engine and 7 speed auto box look like (apart) and how the whole system works?

Being a techi, I'd love to know more about what I've bought!...... This new auto box is absolutely the business.... just love the way it shifts the last 4 gears, 456&7. It's just SO right.........Makes my Porsche feel like a tractor.

Hi Mark

You might find Steve aka Mbenznl will also have the technical knowledge to help answer all your questions. He is a very nice guy and REALLY knows his stuff.

worth paying him a visit, but also check he is in the coutry as he visits the USA for retrofits very often.
