320 clk/2003/3.2 v6
1. I bought a 2003 CLK 320 with a beige leather interior. The car came with a mobile phone installation screwed into the dash of the car. (see image). Two big screws were used to attach the hand set to the car dash I want to replace the piece of trim thats been damaged. Anybody know where the best place to source this spare?

2. The radio reception is pretty bad, it only picks up really strong signals and can't find the rest. Any idea why that is?

3. The A/C isn't cold...just normal temp. Why would that be?

4. Whats the simplest way to set up bluetooth for an iphone? The car has a cd player in the glovebox. I thought I could use the existing wiring there to set some thing up.

Thanks in advance upload gambar

That is a big piece of trim, look online for a company that repairs them, they will be able to do it so you never knew it was there

Television is the man for this

Probably needs re-gassing

Difficult, personally I would ditch the Audio 10 setup for a double din setup like this which will give you all the connectivity you need

A breaker would be the best option for the console.


Does the alarm siren work, do check fuse 8 in the boot to see if it has blown, this can cause bad radio reception.

Does the radio feed run through the OCP? If so do the dome lamps and sunroof (if fitted) work?

The antenna could run through the OCP, I would need to check
