Android Auto Activation for the W213 NTG5*1
br1anuk replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
Based on the information provided, it can be inferred that the original poster's vehicle is a W213 model from 2017, which is likely to be equipped with the NTG5*1 system. Could you please provide assistance in activating or retrofitting AA or CarPlay for the Audio20 NTG5*1 system? -

The previous iteration of the E-Class Coupe, released in 2014, was designated as the C207 model and was built around the C-Class W204 platform. This particular model would have been equipped with the COMAND Online NTG4.5 (Generation 3) system. -

If the vehicle in question is the pre-facelift W213 model, it will be equipped with the NTG5*1 system. Additionally, if the vehicle is equipped with the Garmin Map Pilot navigation feature, it will be using the Audio20 system, which is accessible via an SD-Card. The entertainment device in question is confirmed to be the Audio20 NTG5*1. -

I apologise for the oversight. Upon more reflection, I have come to see that my previous comment was specifically addressing the compatibility of the mentioned kit with the COMAND system, rather than the Audio20 system. Regrettably, the aforementioned kit is not compatible with the Audio20 system. -

Initially, it should be noted that the NTG4.5/4.7 was the last iteration of the COMAND unit that had an engineering menu accessible without the use of STAR. However, it is my understanding that this capability is no longer available on the NTG5.x. Could you kindly provide a hyperlink to the YouTube video in question? Subsequently, the process entails more than only activating the COMAND system. Instead, it necessitates the use of SCN code, once again using the STAR diagnostic tool, to configure the appropriate choices. The topic of discussion is the integration of smartphones in the 14U and 15U age groups. The pre-installation of smartphone integration MB Link, sometimes known as 16U, is a feature that allows for seamless integration of smartphones with the vehicle's infotainment system. The incorporation of Carplay smartphone technology, namely the 17U model, is a noteworthy development in the automotive industry. The smartphone application known as Google Automotive Link. Options 14U and 15U need the installation of a new USB Port that is compatible with smartphone integration. This is likely the necessary information required to successfully complete the task. Customers have the option to choose our workshop in Surrey for the installation of the necessary software update and replacement of car parts, ensuring compliance with Mercedes standards. Alternatively, if this option is not selected, we will provide the required parts along with instructions for self-installation. However, customers will be responsible for completing the final steps by visiting their local dealer. -
Hot Middle Advisor? One way traffic only...
br1anuk replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
One highly sought-after tire known for its exceptional smoothness and comfort is the CONTINENTAL DWS tire. The acronym DWS is an abbreviation for DRY/WET/SNOW. The all-season tire has the load rating suitable for heavier vehicles, exhibits excellent cornering ability, and offers a very smooth and quiet ride. When the tires were installed on my father's CL63 AMG, it was observed that they exhibited a remarkable level of quietness. The Continental tires are also available in DW configuration, which caters to those living in regions with a perennially warm climate seeking a livelier tire option. Additionally, the tires are arranged in a staggered configuration, consisting of DW and DWS. -

I perused some of the issues you have had with your vehicle. It is important to consider that RunFlat tires are specifically engineered to bear the vehicle's weight in the absence of air pressure, while also ensuring stability at speeds ranging from 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. The ride quality of the vehicle is characterized by its harshness and noise, which results in a heightened perception of even minor irregularities on the road surface. Do the front and rear tires possess identical dimensions? -
The S204 model exhibited a high susceptibility to this issue, especially throughout the process of maneuvering it back and forth inside the confines of my driveway. The brakes exhibited satisfactory performance during road use, and a comprehensive examination of suspension bushes and related components conducted by a reliable independent mechanic did not reveal any excessive signs of deterioration. We attribute this phenomenon to being a distinctive feature of the vehicle.

Upon careful examination of the aforementioned statement, it becomes evident that option 1 becomes non-existent. The means by which one chooses to fund the aforementioned event is a matter of personal discretion. However, it is worth noting that the Spyder seems to serve mostly as a decorative object.

I may have overlooked the fact that the Adaptive/EDC dampers were there during our last conversation. In this scenario, it is advisable to retain the technological investment made by opting for B4-Damptronic. The B6-Damptronic suspension system is anticipated to have an impact on the ride height, which has resulted in several complaints from individuals over the increased stiffness and harshness of the ride.

A possible concern arises about the ride height of B8. I personally encountered this phenomenon when modifying my vehicle, the Yellow Peril, a Volkswagen Golf, by installing B8 shock absorbers in conjunction with Eibach springs, resulting in a noticeable rise in the rear ride height. The first dampers, from a technical standpoint, were significantly worn. Consequently, the extent to which this component contributed to the overall rise remains uncertain. Naturally, my allegiance aligns with AC Schnitzer, since I adhere to a set of guiding principles. However, in the event that my beliefs are not aligned with your preferences, I own other ideals and may be open to the idea of selling brands such as Bilstein and KW, among others.

Inexpensive, as described by a client... The ACS package effectively provides a comprehensive suspension solution for everyday use, eliminating the need to choose between comfort and sport options, which are seen as subpar alternatives. The evaluation is characterized by its strictness, although it adheres to principles of fairness.

The F36 exhibits underdamping characteristics initially as a result of the tailgate's weight. The installation of shorter and stiffer springs, including our own, has the effect of reducing body roll and other related issues. However, it is important to note that this modification might potentially worsen the bounciness of the original, weak dampers. When financial resources permit, it is advisable to install matching sports dampers or B8 Bilstein dampers as an alternative, if the ACS versions are not within budgetary constraints. Additionally, it is recommended to disable the adaptive damping system via coding.

The updated rear air spring assembly incorporates a Goodyear bladder, which is accompanied by meticulously crafted components made from CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminum. The air springs in question are supported by a warranty that extends for the duration of the product's lifetime. The assembly is supplied with brand new seals. It is now possible to replace air springs at a cost below $600.00 per unit, hence avoiding the need to rely only on local dealerships for this service. This component may be installed in either the left or right rear position. Characteristics: • Goodyear Air Spring Bladder • CNC Machined Cap & Piston • Inclusion of New O-rings • Engineering and Manufacturing in the United States of America -
It seems that the reverse clutch mechanism has become inoperative. I had a same occurrence. To minimize potential challenges, it is advisable to choose for a dyno tested rebuilt unit as a replacement.

Could you please provide the model number for the gear motor starter with more torque in comparison to the other type? By whom is it carried?

S204 C63. Normal to have mismatched door sill plates?
br1anuk replied to ML350_Colin's topic in General Discussions
Regarding the lighted door sills, it is my understanding that this feature was included as part of one of the available option packs. To ascertain if the vehicle in question is intended to possess this feature, I recommend consulting the Datacard. If the Datacard indicates that the automobile should include a certain feature, but it has been subsequently deleted, it will be flagged as a problem in the STAR system. -
I have just created an account on this platform in order to inquire about the progress made in resolving a current problem that I am facing. During my return journey from a distance of 200 miles, when I was just 1 mile away from my destination, I experienced a decrease in speed, resulting in a loss of power and activation of the vehicle's limp mode. Upon arriving home, I proceeded to switch off my vehicle and restarted it, only to see a flashing EML light and a lack of power. The fault codes retrieved from my scanner were P0101 and P1955. I attempted the recommended solution of disconnecting the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, but unfortunately, it did not provide any noticeable changes. I am unable to successfully remove the codes. Upon inspection, I discovered that the pip connecting the turbo to the air box was not securely fastened. It is plausible to assume that this loose connection was the root cause of the issue. Consequently, I have rectified the situation by tightening the pip to ensure a proper and secure fit. Upon first connecting my scanner upon arrival at my residence, I saw the error code "2623 charge air system offset drift at idle." However, this issue has not recurred. Additionally, the glow plug for cylinder 1 was also illuminated, but it has not reappeared since then. I also experience a more resonant auditory output, according to the description you provided, emanating from the vehicle's exhaust system. Have you reached a resolution or understanding of the matter? I like to avoid engaging in a trial-and-error approach by attempting several methods until the underlying cause is identified.

It remains uncertain if any repositioning of components has occurred in the context of right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles. However, in the case of left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles, convention dictates that those components are often situated inside the footwell of the passenger side. Issues may arise when leaves obstruct the drain plugs located in the cowl, potentially leading to moisture exposure of the cowl and its associated components.
