No, I also have to do the task manually.

I am interested in learning if you have successfully fixed the aforementioned problem. I am a proprietor of a 2012 X6 35i and have encountered the entire disappearance of the comfort access feature. To start the vehicle's ignition, it is necessary for me to now enter the fob in a manner similar to that of a non-comfort access BMW.

I would like to provide an update about the issue pertaining to the detachment of the convertible top panel from the frame on my SL350 vehicle. I sought advice from the dealer, who proposed a single resolution involving the replacement of a roof component at a cost over £3,000. Additionally, I engaged in discussions with a few experts in the field of Mercedes convertibles. One of them expressed willingness to undertake the task of disassembling and reattaching the roof, as they had encountered a similar issue with SLK models from the same time period. The projected cost ranges from £600 to £1000. An alternative location proposed that a windscreen replacement firm may be able to re-bond it. This prompted me to engage in more contemplation; nevertheless, I had difficulty in locating a corporation willing to do such a task. Therefore... Upon careful examination of its construction, I took the decision to attempt the creation of a similar item on my own. The seal located just under the front portion of the roof exhibits a gap of about 3mm from the frame. To address this issue, I procured a tube of black CT1, a silicone glue that I had previously used in construction endeavours. I proceeded to compress the end of the applicator tube, rendering it flat. Subsequently, I exerted pressure to position it above the rubber seal, in the space between the seal and the frame, and compressed it as much as possible during the process of elevating the upper roof panel. Upon completion of the aforementioned task, I observed an audible frictional interaction occurring between the frame, seal, and roof panel while exerting downward and upward pressure on the roof panel. It is worth noting that within about 15 minutes of partial roof opening, the roof automatically shuts without any external intervention, accompanied by an auditory warning signal. Subsequent to the first cleaning process, measures were taken to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the structure. Specifically, many substantial weights were placed on the roof for a duration of several days. After a deliberate period of exposure to sunlight lasting many weeks, I am cautiously optimistic to report that the desired outcome has been achieved. After a duration of many months, I have used the aforementioned product and have found it to be satisfactory in its performance. Undoubtedly, the absence of wind noise and the elimination of roof panel deformation during solar exposure are evident. The overall cost of the product is £9.99, which brings about a sense of happiness.

Based on my observations, it seems that the extended warranty mostly covers rust-related issues. However, I want to contact the relevant party to get more clarification on this matter. I appreciate your suggestion.

Thank you for your assistance anyway. Upon doing an experiment, I have observed that exerting significant pressure on the edges of the object elicits an audible response, indicating an attempt to re-adhere. However, this reattachment is short-lived, suggesting a decline in the adhesive's stickiness, most likely attributable to the deterioration of the double-sided tape. I will communicate with my local professional in order to ascertain if they possess any information about the existence of a repair bulletin for the issue at hand in relation to the company known as Merc. Alternatively, it is plausible that Mercedes-Benz has included a mechanism allowing for the detachment and reattachment of the panel. Hopefully, he will be able to resolve the issue. I will provide an update after I have resolved the issue.

The observed phenomenon entails the depiction of the seal located between the upper roof panel and the frame positioned above the windscreen. Upon careful observation, one may see that there is a noticeable curvature in the central region, indicative of high temperatures. When the roof is partially opened, the whole top panel exhibits significant flexibility along the frontal region. The observed object lacks any apparent attachment, hence when subjected to high temperatures, it undergoes expansion without any restraining force. There is an indication that the bonding of the latch and related components is expected to occur on the visible frame across the front. Does the aforementioned statement possess any logical coherence?

I will make an attempt to convey the information, but it may not be readily discernible via visual representation. The object was exposed to sunlight for an extended period of time.

Greetings, everyone. I am now experiencing an unusual issue pertaining to the top of my 2013 SL350 vehicle. The first observation was the presence of a wind noise emanating from the upper region above the windscreen. Upon further examination, it was seen that under bright conditions, the roof panel exhibited a noticeable convex curvature in its central region. Upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the roof panel exhibits significant flexibility and lacks any discernible attachment to a supporting framework. Consequently, during periods of thermal expansion, the panel arches upwards, resulting in the formation of a gap that allows wind to pass through, so generating audible noise, particularly on days characterised by elevated temperatures. Typically, the issue of opening the roof on hot days does not arise; nevertheless, occasional hindrances may occur when the trunk is fully occupied, hence impeding the opening of the roof.

Prior to exchanging automobiles, I first attributed the presence of this scent to my spouse, three children, and two pugs. I own a residual component from my 2018 M5 automobile. I am inquiring if this particular component is compatible with the X5 model as well.

I have not personally attempted this method, however there exists a minor technique for recharging a 12-volt battery. Activate the remote temperature control feature via the MyToyota application. It has been said that when temperature control is initiated, the 12 V Battery will be automatically powered by the lithium ion main batteries. It is worthwhile to consider doing this endeavor. Please kindly provide confirmation of the efficacy of this method by leaving a remark in this section.

This is the significant upgrade that was previously discussed in the other discussion. An update has been made available for Europe, necessitating a visit to the dealer for its installation. The topic of discussion pertains to software bugs, updates, and over-the-air (OTA) mechanisms in the context of Bz4X software.

Toyota is faced with the need of finding a resolution to this particular situation.

It is hypothesized that the automobile in question was left at home, yet there are certain conditions that preceded the decision to park the car. Imagine you find yourself in a wait at a car park, specifically a cruise parking facility. In this scenario, your vehicle is turned off, but the radio remains on. You often power the car on and off, accompanied by the act of opening and closing the car doors.

Can you confirm if the auditory perception you are experiencing is only attributable to the frictional noise generated by the contact between the cold braking components and the driving forces exerted upon gear engagement? A phenomenon characterized by a trembling or shaking motion. Perform the exercise repeatedly, altering the pedal pressure used, ranging from a substantial amount to the lowest possible that still permits gear selection, under the assumption that gear selection while stationary is prohibited until the brakes are engaged.

The presence of 8,000 kilometers on a 2022 model vehicle seems to be a rather short duration, both in terms of time and mileage, for the tires to have worn out to the extent that replacement is necessary. If the warning light has been illuminated and Mercedes has verified that the tire treads have worn down to a measurement of 2mm, it is necessary to replace the tires. I am curious as to how, within the context of regular use, the item has been worn out over a span of 9 months. Regrettably, brake pads (along with discs) are subject to deterioration due to normal use, and it is unlikely that Mercedes would be willing to waive the fee associated with their replacement. Given the circumstances, I would recommend taking the vehicle to a reputable Mercedes expert, such as MSL Performance located on Armoury Road Small Heath, to have them professionally install new brake pads. The cost will be much lower compared to that of the primary dealers.

The product in question is the S5 A15 Bosch AGM Car Battery, which is a 12V battery with a capacity of 105Ah and belongs to the Type 020 S5A15 category. It is available for purchase on Amazon.co.uk under the automotive section.

Thank you for your response. The battery pricing were obtained via a cursory online search, the specific source of which I cannot recall, maybe Amazon. The approximate cost of the Bosch comparable was seen to be about £250. I will visit Halfords to do an efficiency assessment. I appreciate your continued contribution.

There are no fault codes present. Do you have any other insights or reflections on battery date codes? Upon doing an online search, it is evident that the cost of replacements is rather high, starting at £200 or more.

The garage has not previously indicated any issues, but, I may bring the vehicle in for further inspection and verification. The battery is an intriguing subject, since it is maybe the prototype battery. I am uncertain about the identification of the batch or date code. Do you have any insights or suggestions on this matter? Would it be beneficial if I were to include some visual illustrations in the form of photographs?

Greetings, everyone. I am experiencing a problem with the Digital Information System (DIS) whereby it sometimes powers off without any discernible cause. The device has the potential to remain inactive for extended periods of time, only to resume functioning in an unpredictable manner. During the course of this week, I found myself situated in a line, whereupon I proceeded to engage with the electric windows. Subsequently, an occurrence transpired wherein the display ceased to function. When the device is turned on, it operates flawlessly without any display-related complications or other malfunctions. When the vehicle is deactivated, it also disables the telephone controls situated on the steering wheel. I attempted to reactivate the device by using the switch located on the right-hand side of the lower portion of the device. However, this action proved ineffective in reactivating the device or eliciting any kind of reaction. The observed phenomenon seems to be indicative of a power line fault; however, I am currently lacking the necessary knowledge or guidance to start the process of identifying and resolving the issue. I do not possess expertise in vehicle electrical systems, but rather possess a diverse set of talents as an engineer. Has anybody seen a such phenomenon or can someone direct me to a suitable resource to commence my research? The wiring diagrams that have been encountered so far have not proven to be especially informative. I express my gratitude in anticipation.

The White Magic Eraser may be considered a viable option for experimentation. The cost of purchasing 10 pads is around £2.

It is advisable to exercise caution while considering the purchase of "remanufactured" compressors. I acquired a component from Arnott, which proved to be a pre-owned item that had been repainted black. However, it was discovered that many of the air tube fittings had been damaged, leaving the component non-functional. It is worth noting that these fittings are integral to the compressor and are not available for individual purchase from Audi. I just became aware of this situation when my previous compressor malfunctioned, leaving my vehicle elevated on jackstands on a Saturday. I encountered a predicament when Audi quoted a price of $1200 for the required component. I recollected seeing information on an online platform indicating that Mercedes Benz used a same component. I visited the nearby Mercedes-Benz dealership and was pleasantly surprised to find that a new compressor was available for purchase for a price of around $325, with a discount applied to the final cost. I simply need to integrate the wiring connection by splicing and used gasoline line as a means to link the MB air fitting to my vehicle. Not too intricate for the majority of amateur mechanics that engage in automotive repairs as a hobby, such as myself. The product functions well and reliably, and its novelty eliminates any uncertainty over the durability of previously owned or refurbished components. The part number for the MB component is 211-320-03-04. It is worth noting that Arnott did agree to accept the return of the item; however, they declined to provide a refund for the shipping costs. In the event that one of my bags becomes worn out, I anticipate a more favorable outcome with regard to their durability, since the price point is rather enticing.

I have used the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program on several occasions. During my experience with the S197 vehicle, when returning from a track event held at Dunsfold, I had a situation where a van was sent to diagnose the fault codes and afterwards arranged for recovery. The whole service provided was commendable. On the second occasion, my son contacted the service provider after experiencing difficulties with the immobiliser system on his previous model of the Defender. The service provider swiftly sent a technician who attempted to circumvent the malfunctioning immobiliser. Subsequently, I arrived at the location and proceeded to circumvent the ignition system in order to start its operation. To be equitable, I had a greater familiarity with the fuel/ignition mechanism; but, I speculate that he would have comprehended it eventually. Although it may not be inexpensive, if one own a substantial number of automobiles, the cost becomes rather reasonable.

The competence of the car's handlers is readily apparent. The condition is excellent.

That's correct, however the circumstances under which regeneration is possible are what vary depending on whether or not flaps are present. If the engine achieves normal operating temperature while the flaps are in place, regeneration may occur even in city driving. You won't notice a difference with or without the flaps if you do a lot of interstate driving.
