  1. Past hour
  2. 2013 W212 Facelift E200 automatic petrol engine with 4.7-liter Nexus engine. Thanks to some tweaks I made in the engineering menu, I can now put the screen to black and have it warn me to "watch your surroundings" whenever I put the car in reverse. A CVBS camera and an RCA to Fakra adapter are on my shopping list. While installing my subwoofer, I will verify the configuration. If you have any advice or real words of discouragement, please share the
  3. Oh, so it's wireless? I failed to notice that portion. Now it's really easy, and the Garmin gets its juice from the lighter. Now I understand. That is really cool. The fact that the canbus isn't displaying a problem code isn't surprising, however, considering this is a 2012 E class vehicle with the typical electrical components like lights and wires. My prior MB E class was a 2010 model, and I had no trouble wiring a caravan plug directly with a regular relay. My 2014 E-class Saloon, however, is part of the canbus system, thus things changed after 2013. Still, if you have a little battery in the boot, like mine does, and you can set it to turn on and off with the reversing light LED connection, that should work.
  4. It appears like they used some unique materials for that kit; could someone confirm that? It's hard to believe I didn't find it earlier; it appears to be of high quality. Their website doesn't specify anything about that kit.
  5. Today
  6. Compared to other configurations, this one is really straightforward to comprehend and implement. The Garmin box seems to have some built-in features, however there is no canbus warning or anything like. The only accessories included are the Garmin rear camera parts. You won't need to run any more connections; the video shows you how to deliver wireless data to a Garmin device from behind. Even though the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) method is preferable, this works well as a simple back camera option, therefore I would go for it.

  8. If you already own an Audio 20, you may upgrade it with a kit that includes a reverse camera.
  9. The explanation is clear and concise. Did the canbus system change when you disconnected the positive and negative leads from the reversing light? Is a relay another option? Would you be so kind as to provide more detailed instructions on how to run the wire from the camera to the dashboard? Was it necessary to elevate the carpet or remove the side panels? Thank you for sharing this. Now I'm considering doing the same thing with my W212.
  10. I got the NTG 4.5 audio 20 unit no (command) since it's the cheapest system for this car, but I had to read a lot about retrofit rear cameras for W212 models because mine didn't come with one. Then I found out that it's not even possible to retrofit the original camera system with MB parts. After doing some digging, I came out an aftermarket module on AliExpress that ought to make it happen. However, I decided against that as there was little information available on the subject. Retrofitting the original camera from MB is possible with a command system, but it's a bit of a hassle and can be expensive. I came up with this system, basically. command system for MB's initial retrofit - The China wired kit -External screen-equipped wired kit - GPS-enabled wireless display I went with the wireless Garmin option that includes a GPS screen because the original GPS (Becker) is so useless and expensive to update (100€). To be honest, I could have saved money by not buying the GPS screen alone because I could have used a decent GPS. I appreciate certain aspects of this. One device with both a GPS and a camera. Very simple installation; there aren't many wires to go inside the vehicle. From the exterior, it appears to be OEM, and the quality is great to the touch. It will save you a tonne of time and effort without requiring you to alter your current setup. Reverse side of this remedy. After shifting into reverse, the screen takes around two seconds to load, and the image quality might be improved. Adding another screen may annoy certain people, but it doesn't disturb me in the least. S$100,-Garmin GPS Camera from Garmin 150€ Feel free to ask any questions you may have on this Garmin system or any other solution, and I will try my best to answer them.
  11. Yesterday
  12. curiosity, but because not everyone comes here to say hello, it's usually best to enquire at the proper place.
  13. If it's like the later X5, removing the arch liner and access panels will give you better access. In my opinion, it's practically feasible to keep turbo in there.
  14. My 2012 X5 40d is experiencing problems with the turbo. After testing the vacuum lines and solenoids, the problem of the malfunctioning turbo charger vacuum box was identified as the source of the engine code 4530 that the ECU had been sending. It was determined that the vacuum box was the source of the issue after conducting a test with a vacuum pump. Vacuum did not hold. The hoover box is in an inconveniently situated area of the engine, so I'd be very appreciative if any users could point me in the right direction for replacing it. It has been mentioned to me that in order to access the linkage connections, it may be necessary to remove the little turbo. I would like to try to replace it on my own, so any advise would be helpful. I am grateful.
  15. Latest news: I followed Gemini's instructions after copying and pasting this message, and I was able to identify the problems with both loom connectors. I fixed them, and now it works! The parking sensors are working. Much obliged for the time you've taken.
  16. Drive gently ahead while pressing the parking button. The parking graphic, not the rearview camera, should appear. There are a number of distance lines on each sensor. It might be useful in locating the problem. The bumper wire loom can be the problem if everything else fails. They seem to have been off lately because the plug is so easy to stretch. Also, the module that detects parking. There are threads regarding this on the forum; personally, I've never taken the panel off the boot and looked under the fuse boxes, but that's where I suppose it is.
  17. Hi there, My search did not yield any results when I tried this site. So, this is the piece. 2012 Ford Mustang GT premium. Regarding the procedure, I perused the comments included in the service manual. There will be a short, three-second warning sound when you start the engine. When the parking sensors aren't working, there's no indication on the dashboard. As soon as I shift into reverse, the dash parking sensor switch light starts flashing. The module will be able to communicate with my scanner. The eight error messages that point to malfunctioning parking sensors are visible to me. Always all eight. They reappear the second after I scan them to remove them. From B1B36-14, we get the numbers 38–52. I would want to enquire about previous encounters with this particular issue and potential solutions before I begin to investigate the wiring of each sensor. Also, have you ever noticed that these modules need to be reinserted or reprogrammed? The aftermarket scanner I'm using isn't powerful enough to handle that task. Any advice would be much appreciated. All the best with your time!
  18. Last week
  19. These are the front indicator fuses. The blown fuses are replaced with new headlamp components. Appreciate your assistance
  20. It was in my 2010 model, but it was in the jack. I had already printed off a copy from the internet when I discovered it!
  21. I suppose MB no longer places the folded printed fuse legend in the small slot next to the fuses here? I suppose in an effort to cut costs. When did that finish? That was in my S203 C class back in 2006. A once-great "tool" that is definitely long gone 😞
  22. If you believe ChatGPT: Circuits are powered by fuse 74 (15A) to: control unit for KEYLESS-GO A unit for the right front light Ballast module for the left front of the vehicle DC/AC converter
  23. Good day. Is anyone here familiar with the function of this fuse? The 74th fuse in my e63 keeps blowing, and I have no idea why. While researching diesel vehicles online, I was unable to find any information on E63 petrol vehicles with the fuel pump relay responding. Much obliged.
  24. Thank you everyone. I have reset the device, however the problem still persists after a few of days. Parking and then returning to the car within ten to fifteen minutes also resets it. That seems to be my sole option for avoiding garage costs; I will share my findings here for future reference and, perhaps, to assist others; in the meanwhile, I am grateful.
