The multimedia cable is not producing any sound.

If you own a 3.5 mm jack connector, you may use it to enable Bluetooth connectivity for both music playback and phone calls. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09Y8CZ48V?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_P9Y0R6FARCK6HVMGZ6VH&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_P9Y0R6FARCK6HVMGZ6VH&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_P9Y0R6FARCK6HVMGZ6VH&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1 -

Greetings upon your return! It has been a considerable amount of time. -
I will apply penetrating fluid and let it sit till the weekend. If it is not possible, would you suggest removing the upper arm to improve access, grip, leverage, or hammering capability? Last month, the subframe was changed, which is indicated by the new black paint finish on the subframe. As a result, one end of the arm has just fallen off. I anticipate that it should not be very challenging to remove and work on it on the bench.

The product is an LEMFÖRDER Rod / Strut with the part number 36250 01, specifically designed for the rear left upper position. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lemforder/7020956?tduid=9bfc80bc028c57ec75fec94c02ef9c9b The presence of two holes in the arm indicates the intended location for the ball joint plate. The Right hand comparable arm (36251 01) likewise has the two pictured holes, however their presence may be attributed to manufacturing convenience rather than serving as confirmation of the presence of a level sensor on the rear driver's side.

I apologise for directly mentioning you; you possess a wealth of valuable knowledge and advice. I would want to express my gratitude in advance for any recommendations you may have. One possible solution is to remove the upper suspension arm and use aggressive methods such as heating, drilling, and using a 5lb lump hammer to detach the old ball joint plate. Alternatively, you may replace the upper arm entirely and install a new ball joint plate that includes a new sensor.

Greetings Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, There is a fracture on the ball joint linkage arm of the rear level sensor responsible for adjusting the height of the xenon headlights. I purchased new links, but when removing the links/sensor on the rear passenger side (located above the drive shaft), I saw a break in the sensor housing where it holds the fastening bolts. Additionally, the balls of the ball joints are heavily rusted and rough. Despite extensive efforts to repair and improve them, there is too much corrosion present to provide a smooth surface for the replacement arms. Considering the malfunctioning sensor housing, I am contemplating replacing the level sensors. However, I need assistance, please. 1. Are there sensors on both sides of the back, or is there just one on the rear passenger side wheel suspension linkage and one on the front driver's wheel suspension linkage? Does the system just need knowledge of the chassis pitch in order to automatically modify the dipping beam? Can somebody provide the component numbers for all the level sensors for my 2011 w212 E350? Alternatively, I would appreciate recommendations for other units that are not as expensive as the £400 ones offered by Mercedes. 2. After reassembling everything today, I noticed that my headlights are positioned too high this evening, indicating that I had inadvertently disrupted something. I completely detached the level sensor and unplugged it. I presume that whatever this pertains to, it would present the same problem if I were to install a new level sensor. How do I recalibrate the xenon headlights to the proper alignment? Is it possible to do this task with iCarsoft? 3. All components, with the exception of the plate (with the corresponding ball joint) that links to the upper rear suspension arm, may be removed quite easily. I attempted to detach the apparent sole fastening nut for the plate (as seen in the pictures), but the plate seemed to be firmly affixed to the upper suspension arm, as it showed no signs of movement. Considering that this plate and its corresponding ball joint are equipped with a new level sensor, is there any aspect that I should be aware of before removing it? The securing nut has been detached from the rear of the plate that is connected to the ball joint.

Modern keys hold personalised configuration data, such as radio, display, and seat settings (depending on the model). I believe it does not save any further information. Some models have the option to designate a key as a 'valet' key, which restricts the speed and radio level when it is used.

Typically, I only utilise a single key.

Optimal 20-inch wheel and tyre specifications for a Gen1
WiseSage replied to Trevorseaf's topic in General Discussions
I have conducted research since I am also currently in the market. Both the options of 20x11 ET30-35 or 20x12 ET42 seem to be favourable. The fitment of the tyre will be contingent upon its specifications. I want to use 20x11 wheels with an offset of ET30 and install them with 325/25/20 tyres, if they are compatible. -
The quality is exceptional, indicating a high level of craftsmanship. I really like using the s-tronic in manual mode, and these enhancements have further enriched my experience. I made a purchase with Europrice, however, the products were manufactured and sent from Belgium. I had previously seen these on a topic here and was intrigued by the concept of their preserving the original paddles. Extremely satisfied with these and a beneficial enhancement.

Indeed, I own both Sirius and the compatibility for Apple Carplay as well as Android Auto. All tasks are really efficient. The sound quality is excellent thanks to the OE B &O speakers and amplifier. I have had it for around 7-10 days, therefore I am currently in the process of familiarising myself with all the menu and possibilities. I am an enthusiast of Samsung devices, but my daughter prefers Apple products, and she effortlessly changes between the two. I previously used the Bovee dongle, which was OK, albeit it sometimes had glitches but was generally acceptable. This is much superior. The appearance is quite satisfactory, just as I desired. In addition, my vehicle originally lacked parking sensors and a camera. However, I had cameras installed that seamlessly blend in with the car's design. These cameras will be invaluable in preventing parking-related damages in the future. I have just used my mobile device on a few occasions, but the audio quality seems to be satisfactory and distinct.

I have just added the Maestro/Alpine head unit combination and a Eurozone carbon/leather steering wheel with matching stitching on my 2014 Samoa R8. In addition, I installed carbon extenders on the paddles. These items are quite pleasant to use and have an impressive appearance. I delayed the installation of the head unit since my vehicle did not come with any parking assistance, so I also included cameras. I should have completed the task sooner. I am quite satisfied with both of the improvements.

If the merchant is your friend, then there should not be any suspicious activity taking on. I had my vehicle for a duration of one year, during which I encountered two instances of damaged alloy wheels, each measuring 19 inches in diameter. One of the front fog lamps has malfunctioned, and the vehicle has been using a significant amount of gasoline. If you are an enthusiast of automobiles, it is certainly worth considering owning.

There will no longer be any MOT certificates.

Indeed, the veracity of this statement is confirmed by Matt, a used vehicle salesman at High Peak Autos, on his YouTube channel. He affirms that this applies to all automobiles, even those he purchases for his dealership. -

I am uncertain whether it is exactly the same, but I believe there have been reports indicating a significant increase in the number of automobiles that are not paying taxes since the removal of the tax disc. -
Same here
