Hello everyone :bannana:
I had my first Mercedes now for 5 months and I am very happy. It is a E270CDI W211 (53).
I have finally got round to ditching my stock Audio 20 head unit and shipping in an Alpine ICS-X8 which I am very happy with. My Audio 20 was excellent quality for stock system, but I missed my MP3's, hands free calling etc.
Anyway, I divulge. My problem is that following installation, the lower control panel no longer opens (the one that hides the cd changer if you have one....I didn't). I have checked the cabling, and that is intact. In fact all the buttons work on there (hazard, rear head rest, door locks etc).
Can anyone please advise if they know the cause on this one ?
Can I also ask about a feature - there is a reverse mirror feature where the wing mirror drops down to assist parking when reverse is engaged. I can't seem to activate this, but I am not sure if this is standard or option. Mine is Elegance version BTW.
Thanks on both.
