Mercedes quality and a very beautiful car, according to every reviewers
there is nothing in the world to compete with it at that price range. Sorry
Hyundai lovers,but,this thing has safety options you can only dream of, it
can basically drive itself, it is beautiful looking, it has the 3 pointed
star, it has the world record for a 2 liter engine, it will be super cheap
to mod,up to 38 mpg, very reliable and only 29k, love it.

The AMG version will be about 44,0000. Think about owning a 355 HP AMG at
that price and it is coming out of a 4 cylinder engine. I might buy that
instead of the Ford Titanium. I have to test drive it first.
the cars design is odd. even with 18 inch alloys they look like 16 inch,
and 19 inch is maximum size you can use and you have to get a paper to do
it, so 18 is max in most cases.
You are smoking some really strong crack!!!! While the Sonata has a nice
design there is not getting around the fact that it is a KNOCK-OFF Benz!
Wake up!
The only thing I didn't like is where the navi screen is, it's tacky
looking, looks like they forgot about it in the design and put it in at the
last min.
How to enter engineering mode in Mercedes COMAND APS NTG 2.5 (hidden secret service menu)
Your Mercedes APS NTG 2.5 system have a hidden engineering mode (hidden menu) that gives you access to all kind of useful information about car systems.
Hi again Scott. All done and dusted and working fine. I honestly don't know
what I'd have done without your videos - I certainly wouldn't have
attempted it on my own as I wouldn't even have known where to start. It's
great being able to refer to the videos especially when removing trims and
the like as I probably would have shied away from using as much force, and
you do need to know where to push and lift and the like. I didn't have torx
keys like you - all of my specialist bits are used with a hex drive (6mm I
think) and so I found a problem getting down to some of the torx screws on
the unit as the drive blocked the bit from getting down far enough. I ended
up reaming the holes with a flat blade screwdriver until the bit would
penetrate far enough, so if anyone else has a similar toolkit, that's a
possible solution. I didn't find any way to get the cable out without
cutting it - I was worried I'd snag the connector when it was out of sight
and I'd be stuffed so I did as you advised. Soldering the wires was a bit
tricky and in future if I had to do a similar ribbon cable repair, I might
look a bit harder for some sort of ribbon cable junction thingy.
11 out of 10 for your videos, I am deeply indebted :)
Best regards, Gerry
+midsomerjambo Thanks for your compliment Gerry. A prerequisite for any DIY on a Mercedes is a set of internal and external Torx bits. Quite cheap on eBay so they're worth getting.I know this sounds stupid but I sometimes have to refer to my own videos to refresh my memory on how to do something! Anyway I'm pleased I've been able to help people save some money. Regards, Scott
Hi Scott - I plan to give your instructions a whirl next weekend (this
problem seems to be an ongoing design flaw on the C-Class from what I've
seen on the internet so it's maybe about time Mercedes did something about
it). Your video makes it look pretty straightforward but I have a couple of
questions. Firstly, where you remove the controller, although you talked
about cutting the cable, you didn't seem to do that and instead
disconnected it and pulled it through (although as you mentioned, you had
in fact cut it previously). In the video, it didn't look that hard to get
it out without cutting it again but I wonder what your thoughts are on
that. Secondly, when doing the repair, you mentioned plastic spray but I
wasn't sure what you meant. Do you have a specific product that you could
recommend for that? I'll let you know how I get on - I'm not anticipating
any major problems as I think your videos are very well done - great work!
+midsomerjambo Thanks for the compliment. See how you go getting the cable out without cutting. In it's original installation the cable is routed under the console through some kind of retaining clip. I tried for ages with hooks, bits of wire and a dentists mirror but could not get it released ... in fact I couldn't even see the retainer ... so I cut it. When I made the video the cable was not in that clip but in my new "improved position". With the spray ... I think you're referring to Plastidip. After I completed the shaft repair I sprayed it with black Plastidip to make it all black again. That's not totally necessary as the shaft is out of site. The other spray I used was lithium grease. Good luck and please report back ... especially if you work out a way to get that cable out without dismantling the console or cutting the cable. Regards, Scott
Hi Scott, just watched the video and wanted to see if you can send me the
video showing where you cut the cable (Can't find it on your page) Do I
need to purchase additional cable to solder the cut piece? Thanks! Ryan
Ryan there is no video on cutting the cable. I just cut it with a pair of scissors!You'll need flux core solder, a soldering iron and heat shrink tubing. the ribbon cable is four wires. One has a red trace so you can't get it wrong. Split the the ribbon into four individual cables for about 20mm at each end. Bare about 5mm of wire for each cable by stripping the insulation, twist together and solder. Don't forget to slip a small length of heat shrink over each wire first so you can slide them over the soldered joints and use a heat gun or hairdryer to shrink into place.
Hi Scott I own a 2010 Mercedes E350 cdi Cabriolet and I have had the same
problem (coincidentally 4 years after I purchased it) most of the steps are
the same as what you have shown in the video but unfortunately I can't
remove the cover around the dial and the cupholders because instead of a
small compartment for loose change there is the roof control unit which
stops me from being able to prise it out, any ideas on how to remove the
roof control unit as I don't want to just pull it out because it feels like
something may break
+vladimiramitrano1 Hi Vladimir ... I'll have a look in the Workshop Information System and see what I can find for you. I might need a day or two but I'll post back here. Regards, Scott
