The multimedia cable is not producing any sound.
dave783 replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
I successfully connected the iPhone 15 to the Mercedes multimedia system using a USB-C connection. I managed to enable audio output via the AUX input by using a 3.5mm to USB-C converter connected to the Mercedes multimedia system's 3.5mm wire. It has come to my attention that you are able to perceive auditory stimuli, a fact that seems to be unknown to many. I am determined to spread this knowledge and have a significant impact on the world. 😂 If I come across a Bluetooth adapter, I will get it, albeit the specific model remains unknown. -

I have purchased a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter in order to test whether I can input audio into the comand system. -

I have purchased a 30-pin to Bluetooth adapter for my Apple device. I am curious to see whether it works properly. -

Yes, it has been almost 9 years since I last had a Mercedes. I just purchased a new EQC mostly for the tax benefits, and I also have a 2011 SL350. However, I am now seeing difficulties in connecting my iPhone to the Comand 2.5 multimedia system in the SL350, which is causing me. Is Richard from Comand still available? -

I have just discovered that I need either a specialised cable or a Bluetooth adaptor. -

The cable I have is new old stock, meaning it is a previously unused item. The iPhone connector on the cable is designed for devices that were released before the introduction of the lightning connector. I have been informed that I need an inverter or an other cable. -

The SL350 has had no problems with the EQC. -
Greetings once again, gentlemen, I was formerly a member but have recently returned with a renewed enthusiasm, owning both an EQC and an SL350 from 2011. I own three cables that accompany the multimedia package and are intended for use with the socket located in the central console. I connected my USB cord to the USB port and the phone is charging, but there is no audio and I am unable to see it on the head unit. iPhone 15 Pro Max Is there any other need or am I missing anything evident? I would want to connect my phone to the car's audio system in order to play music and other audio content.

I just updated my battery after almost a decade of use. Although it was still functioning well, it seemed precarious to rely on it given its advanced age. After carefully considering the options of OEM and Antigravity (lithium), I ultimately chose to remain with OEM. The Antigravity battery incurred a much higher cost, mostly due to its ability to provide weight reduction. I concluded that it lacked sufficient significance to warrant my attention. Furthermore, it would need replacing my CTEK charger with one that is compatible with lithium batteries. Considering the impressive lifespan of the previous OEM battery and the uncertainty surrounding the performance of lithium batteries, I made the decision to remain loyal to the OEM option. I had Audi do the task - the whole front trunk has to be disassembled, so while it is possible to do it yourself, it involves more inconvenience than I want. In addition, several individuals have had problems with electronic devices after the replacement of their batteries, such as malfunctions in windows, radios, and other components. Consequently, I surmised that it would be more convenient to have the dealer do the battery replacement. However, the cost was not low. The labour alone amounted to more than $600, while the battery itself cost $300.

The turbo of a 2018 F30 318i has had a failure.

Thank you, Mistral . -

Thank you. I am currently located in West Yorkshire. -
Greetings. I anticipate that I will correctly do the task. In 2022, I purchased a 318i Sport. The vehicle had a mileage of 67,000 miles. Over the last 2 years, I have only travelled a little distance owing to working remotely from home. I received no service when I was depending for CBS communications to appear. Received a drivetrain malfunction notification on the dashboard last week. Brought it to a nearby independent dealer. According to the diagnostic machine, they have determined that the turbo is malfunctioning. According to them, the vehicle is still operable. If possible, I will continue driving at a leisurely speed similar to that of Driving Miss Daisy, and I seldom go on motorways. I speculate that the reduced use of the automobile during the lockdown period has had a negative effect on its condition. However, I am now in the present situation and endeavouring not to criticise myself for any potential mistakes I may have made. The cost of replacing the turbo, including work, would amount to £2800. Currently, I need some comments about the viability of replacing the turbocharger. I am contemplating whether it would be more prudent to seek a second opinion or to dispose of the vehicle altogether.

Thank you for the responses. Just to clarify, I do not currently own the automobile, thus I am unable to do any inquiry at the moment. I was seeking reassurance that it did not seem unattractive. Clearly, I will never have a definitive understanding unless I am able to thoroughly examine the situation.

Greetings, gentlemen. Based only on these pictures, I would appreciate it if someone could provide a diagnosis or provide insight into the reason of this little leak, as well as the likelihood of it being a cost-effective and straightforward repair. Just to provide some background, this is in reference to a BMW E90 330i. Thank you!

The BMW 525d F10 is experiencing a problem with the code 24CF00.

Does the issue reoccur if you clear it?v -
oh dear how sad never mind - Google Search

Update - the P0174 error code persists even after driving with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor disconnected. Does anybody have any insight on what will happen next? Is the issue caused by a defective injector or a clogged fuel filter? Can checking gasoline pressure determine if the fuel filter is obstructed or not?
-
Thank you for your response. Will disconnecting the MAF sensor result in the generation of further error codes, since the vehicle will be unable to measure the air intake? If the code does not display, it might be inferred that the sensor is defective. Is it advisable to reset the error codes before driving or should I retain the data and just let the vehicle idle?

Greetings, members of the forum, I have lately obtained a 2007 325i e92. The check engine light illuminated with the diagnostic trouble code P0174, then faded and reappeared, consistently indicating the same code. I brought it to a BMW expert who used an Autologic reader to get the codes. The diagnostic scan revealed two codes: 29E0 for mixture control and 29E1 for mixture control 2. I requested him to do a smoke test, which he successfully carried out, revealing the absence of any hoover leaks. I requested him to inspect the MAF, and he informed me that it seemed to have been recently changed. However, he expressed concern that it may be a low-quality replacement purchased from Ebay. He is now uncertain about the nature of the problem. The questions I have are as follows: What are the recommended subsequent actions for replacing the 02 sensor? Could the inexpensive MAF replacement performed by the prior owner be a potential cause of the problem? Have you examined the gasoline filter, pump, and injectors? (There was a substantial amount of dirt present around the fuel cap) I am wondering why I am receiving just one lean bank code when my technician is detecting both of them? Thank you for your time and guidance. 🙂

I acquired Dunlop bags at a favourable cost. It has been observed that Arnott bags are often endorsed by individuals. However, while initiating contact with the company, I saw a receptionist who displayed a high degree of rudeness. Given this behaviour, it is reasonable to question the quality of service that may be provided subsequent to a purchase. In my opinion, the inclusion of Dunlop bags as standard equipment in Range Rovers is satisfactory to me.

I am now located in North London. I would much welcome assistance from someone.
