Hi,

My vehicle doesn't have the over head trip computer.

If I buy one and fit it, will it work?

As I have been reading mixed message on many forums that either it will work or the ECU will not know it is present.

Has anyone fitted the trip computer or can provide me with some guidance?

Thanks

If we are talking w163, then the answer is yes it will work.

I fitted one to my 2000 ml320 a few years ago, its plug and play. The most difficult part of the install, is cutting the opening to see the screen. I used a dremmel, and a small flat file.
 
Hi Wobbly,

The vehicle is a 2003, ML270 CDI.

Do you know how to remove the over head cover? Any instructions?

What other functions will be availble other the MPG?

Would you advise that I buy a new over head panel or just cut my existing one?

Does this add value to the vehicle?

Thanks

Any news on how you got one and what was involved?

I'd be interested as mine doesn;t have the trip computer. Happy to do it and report back if someone can tell me what I need.

If plug n play is there a connector inside the cover?

Thanks
 
It was a good five or six years since I fitted the trip computer. I think I only paid £30 from ebay, it was brand new.

Yes the wire are in the housing, and it was easy to fit, apart from cutting the opening.

Wouldn't think it would add any value to a vehicle, and to be honest when it was fitted, I don't think I used itvery much.
