    Smart car - advice on error, had to be towed.

    I had a similar issue with my For Two. It turned out to be the brake light switch which is underneath the car.

    W211 Rear SAM unit replacement

    If you replace the SAM it will need coding to the car.

    Mercedes me

    If the car is not brand new them its quite likely still paired up with the previous owner. The best bet is to go into a Mercedes dealer with the V5 document, proof of identity and residence and ask them to sort it. I did just this with two of my cars and they sorted it there and then.

    Speakers in 2016 E350D Cabriolet

    Swap the HK speakers for Morels. It will transform the sound!

    CarABC Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    Sounds like a great idea. It will though only work in cars that have option 508 (pre wire for Becker map pilot). Its not a hugely common option.

    After a Fault Scan the Command unit has DIAGNOSIS on the screen.

    That should go when you exit from the diagnosis on the tool you have used.

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Yesterday I swapped out the dreadful dual passenger seat in the Vito for a full comfort passenger seat. The physical process is quite straight forward as bolt holes all match up. The wiring needed a bit of fiddling and I have an airbag light on due to the sensor for the middle seat (removed) not...

    W205 sound system upgrade

    Yes definitely. Standard speakers are utterly dreadful. Something I often tell customers is this; If you go to look at a car and its the wrong colour or wrong interior, then you probably wont buy it. If it is the right colour, trim engine etc but has a dire audio system, you will probably...

    Sat nav / mapping issues

    The DVD unit in the boot is your navigation processor too. Its almost certainly the gps antenna that plugged into the back of this. Replace it with a decent (genuine) one for £75. Power cycle the nav drive and then wait for about 15 minutes with the gps antenna able to see the sky. When its...

    W205 sound system upgrade

    Cars with HK benefit massively by having the door speakers changed for Morels. HK is better than Burmester but neither are particularly outstanding. We have changed a lot of HK / Burmester cars, the results are stunning for a relatively small outlay.

    W205 C class Apple CarPlay / Android Auto sorted.

    Following extensive research and work on the part of Richard we are now able to offer full factory Apple CarPlay / Android Auto on the W205 C class model year 2019 onwards. MY 2019 first appeared part way through 2018. As some will know Mercedes recently imposed restrictions upon which cars...

    W205 sound system upgrade

    Weve done a load of these. Standard speakers are rubbish. If you amplify them they will eventually go bang. Burmester isnt much better. Email your vin to sales@comandonline.co.uk for a quote to sort it.

    2009 CL203 CLC220CDI iPhone connection music streaming/integration possible?

    No. Its the Disk/media button. MMI doesnt use AUX. Email me your VIN to sales@comandonline.co.uk and Ill double check your car.

    2009 CL203 CLC220CDI iPhone connection music streaming/integration possible?

    Its much simpler than that. As you have Media interface, all you need is a Viseeo WMA 3000A cable. This plugs into the media interface and you can then pair your phone to it and get full streaming. Have a look on Amazon or Ebay.

    Sl55 no sound from bose system

    Okay, its a very early TV tuner. Try the same procedure on the CD changer, then the phone controller. Worth checking for dampness under the Bose amp which I think on your car is under the CD changer.

    Rubbish. Please explain why you say that.

    Sl55 no sound from bose system

    That looks like the early TV tuner. Its common for it to fail and will cause all sound to stop. What you can do to test it is to remove the fibre cable from the tuner and dismantle the plug to reveal the two ends. Make sure you remove enough tape from the fibre pair to carefully loop one...

    Sounds like its faulty in that case.

    Viseeo mb4+ menu button not working

    Common issue. The unit needs to be opened up and the key pad realigned/secured.

    2004 CL500 Audio Upgrade

    This is a much bigger job than you might at first imagine. Despite you not having the Bose upgrade all the wiring for the speakers and aerial etc is. Is in the boot in the Audio Gateway. The Bose speakers respond well to a different amp but the standard factory fit ones dont and will most...
