w211

Couple of months ago I bought a W211 for my wife. Wonderful car. The only concerning problem was the red warning battery light. I brought a mechanic and he scanned the car using Xentry.

Hello all, After an infuriating two months of searching online to try and make some sense of how to add Bluetooth or AUX to my w211, I have finally given up and decided to ask for help to look for solutions. For some context, I own an 04 w211 classic trim with the base AUDIO 20 (MF2310)...

Hi I have changed my key fob so that on the first press it just opens the drivers door. I have also seen that if you hold down the open button on the key fob the windows should open as well as the door unlock. Is this a specific option for selected W211's or have I missed something when I try...
