Re: [MBZ] Keys Benz content

2020-01-14 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes

There’s a little ring antenna thingie around the keyhole that reads the chip, I 
guess it’s RFID, then the AAM decides its good and allows the car to start. 
This has likely failed on the 05ML500 and won’t read the chip and let the fer 
start. But it doesn’t work with the straight key either so I don’t know.

[MBZ] ML320 $750 ask

2020-01-14 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes

I went to look at this thing today. It was a POS. Not too high miles but just 
beat. Guy bought it for his college daughter. Smelled like dope inside, dirty, 
worn, stuff not working, paint bad, headlights totally hazed. POS but the body 
was actually quite straight. 

Guy said trans was intermittently not shifting into drive. Put the OBD reader 
($4wifi unit, talks to free CarDoc app on my phone) on it and got a bunch of 
codes, EGR, FI issues (exhaust smelled really rich), shifter sensor inop, trans 
turbine speed sensor, etc. 

Started and ran ok. The shifter wasn’t registering on the dash indicator so I 
knew the stick sensor was bad. Wouldn’t go into gear. 

I put the fancy computer on it, every system but the transfer case was showing 
hard and soft failures. Basically backed up what the OBD reader said. I 
couldn’t drill down into each system as this thing wants to use HHTWIN on the 
older 163s to drill down, then it won’t see the systems and the HHTWIN app 
crashes though DAS keeps running. Perplexing. 

Turned the car on again and shifter was working, imagine that. Went into gear 
ok. So I guess it was some intermittent fault in the shift sensor. 

I offered the guy $300 for it. He said he could get that from a knacker, and 
someone was coming Saturday with $500 so he couldn’t go less than that. Good 
luck...

It would have been interesting for parts

Just print two halves and glue them together with plexus. Or put some

I believe that could be done.   That would be a good way to go with the 
carbon fiber filament. build a fixture onto the base plate that you

 Program 2 would be just an inverse of program 1.

Re: [MBZ] Keys Benz content

Well, it is probably not even a key, but an electronic code (RFID chip) 
that the computer says will allow you to ASK the computer to start the 
engine.   (or beg...)

But yes, 500 is in the range I have heard, PLUS programming from MB owners.

I'd be looking for a way to remove the "key" part of the ign switch, so 
that you can turn the switch with some other method.  Like using a 
screwdriver on MBs with real keys, after you remove the tumbler.   You 
have to have one key to remove the tumbler on switches with real keys, 
so I'd guess you have to have a key to remove the "tumbler" part of the 
electronic request system.

thought I’d look into getting a spare for that. I called the stealer 
in Savannah and they will happily sell me a switchblade fob and key 
for  get ready for this  $499. But wait, there is more THEN 
you have to contract with the service Dept to get that programmed ... 
I didn’t even bother to get a quote on that. They lost me at $500 for 
a key.


Has anyone been here and done that? Either the Kia remote or a 
sprinter transponder key?

Re: [MBZ] Keys Benz content

 For VWs at least up until my 2015 I send a picture of the existing key plus my 
registration and driver's license to fixmyvw.com who sends me the key and fob. 
My VCDS (programmer cable) can program Angie's 2005 Golf to recognize the fob 
but I needed to borrow a different cable to get the secret code out of the car.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get additional keys for the 2015 Jetta 
yet, gotta call the stealer and see how much they want.

If I find a replacement, yes, I will be selling our. It's a 1989 G20
Beauville with a 4.3 liter V-6. The outside is fair-to-poor (the New

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

IL was famous for that for decades.   Also requiring an IL inspection on 
any truck operating inside their borders.   Johnny'd sit at the end of 
the bridge, and nap any truck entering the state.   No lack of brownie 
points for johnny.   A I recall, the fine was pretty hefty.   Like $50 
when most people worked for 75¢ and hour.


There are good reasons why people have been fleeing IL for decades.

Different speed limits for trucks is something the Owner Operator
Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has been fighting for years.
It seems some "safety" organizations think heavy trucks going fast
is dangerous and try to convince lawmakers to have different speed
limits.

Re: [MBZ] Keys Benz content

The R129, W163 and I believe even late W140 key fobs are affected by this issue 
of availability.

The W211 keys are just as bad. I was going to get a spare for the eldest’s E320 
CDI until my friendly dealer parts guy chuckled and told me what my cost was. 
He said my reaction was nothing compared to that of consumers who come in and 
want to buy one over the counter (list price).

Nope.

A 99 ML320 will have a key with a transponder chip in it. It should be a 
“Mickey Mouse" key with a black plastic fob that has “ears” on it - unless it’s 
just the key blade. If that’s the case, the car would crank but not start. The 
straight key blade is only intended to unlock/lock doors.

I have both the “switchblade” fob and a Mickey Mouse key for the wife’s R129. 
The fob will unlock the car at night, but not in the daytime as the IR stuff 
much be so weak it can’t see the signal when there’s ambient light present.

*Nods* we give a drivers license to pretty much anybody who wants one. 
When I was in Germany in the '90s the German kids my age were spending 
months in drivers training at a cost of thousands of (1990s) marks.I 
went to driver's ed which wasn't required and took, I think, 2 weeks 
of like 2 hours a day plus maybe 4-5 hours in the car.

not controlled for other factors, such as the morons who are texting and

2020-01-14 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes

This whole key business is complete BS. Apparently R129 keys are just now 
becoming available in the US in some limited quantities, have been in yurp for 
a few months. Spendy. I guess the IR lock part needs to be programmed at the 
stealer. I think 210 and 163 keys are also quite spendy. 

On the 05 ML500 I had to reprogram the recognition of the key (which has a 
small chip of some sort in the housing) using the fancy computer to pair it to 
the car then a sequence of key buttons presses. The car computer only has 8 
keys (chips actually I think) it can recognize, I don’t think you can get a 
duplicate of one you have had but a new key has to be paired against one of the 
remaining codes the car will recognize. And of course the metal part needs to 
be cut. The chip and metal key are apparently central to the thing actually 
starting the vehicle. But the remote aspect does the (un)locking and that is 
what the car listens for. 

There are supposed programming things ($$$) on eBay that will (re)program a key 
but reports suggest its hit or miss. Some locksmiths “might” be able to do it 
with some fancy box but I don’t know. 

I’m wondering if the 99 ML320 stuck in limp mode might have had a chipped key. 
The 05 does but all I have for the 99 is a straight metal key, and I can’t get 
the fancy computer HHTWIN program to talk to the car though a cheap WiFi OBD 
reader will see some codes, so I’m not sure what the deal is with it. The 
computer talks fine to the 99 E320, go figure.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

The base is heated. The default base for most printers is a plastic coated 
surface that’s sort of bumpy, for lack of a better description. I replaced mine 
with a sheet of glass for better adhesion. A quick spritz of “Aqua Net” makes 
things stick just fine.

The truck drivers dislike split speed limits a whole lot more than
the cars do.  Anytime there is a notable speed difference it's
less safe.  It happens - but to deliberately cause it seems foolish.

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!



Mixing speeds is dangerous in my opinion. I remember reading or hearing that 
some majority of accidents occur when vehicles are in the bottom 20% or the top 
20% of all the speeds driven. In other words try to keep an even flow, extremes 
are dangerous.

[MBZ] SPAM RE: Replacement Key Head for 124

2020-01-14 Thread Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes

IME PLA is easiest to print, but not too strong and may melt in a hot car 
interior. ABS is stronger, but harder to print and may have objectionable 
outgassing. I like PETG for moderate ease of printing, strength and appearance. 
It is the stuff that soda bottles are made of.

Sure. Send me the files and I’ll knock them out.

Do understand that there are a wide range of materials available for 3D 
printing. Look here:

https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=3d+printing+filament=2JF2L95MP97R2=3d+printing%2Caps%2C258=nb_sb_ss_i_2_11

Look down at the choices under “3D Printing Materials”. There are a number of 
different materials to print with, all of which have different characteristics 
depending on what you’re printing. The most common material is PLA, but it’s 
probably not ideal for something like a key head. You can get filament that has 
real wood in it to look wood grained, for example, along with all sorts of 
other stuff.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

Hair spray.

Nozzle temp too cool, or feed rate too high.

And yes, you have to make accommodations for the type of filament you’re using. 
It’s always good to get comfortable with a particular type of filament so you 
can understand how various changes in the printing process affect it. Once 
you’ve got this down it’s a lot easier to troubleshoot when you do move to a 
different material.

A lot of what I am seeing relates to basic things like getting the 
printed item to stick to the base surface.

Also, nozzles that plug up etc.
Many variables for different sorts of filament.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

That’s quite true, too, Randy. More so if you’re doing things on your own, that 
is, designing your own prints.

I found that by reading a lot of the notes with the files on Thingverse as well 
as researching my printer in various online forums that I’ve got an idea of how 
to print things consistently and that require a minimal amount of finish work. 
A lot depends on the design itself, too.

I think there is quite a learning curve to make it work well too. I 
subscribe to another list that has gravitated to 3D printing from the 
original intent (metal working) and have read a lot of posts by people

Different speed limits for trucks is something the Owner Operator
Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has been fighting for years.
It seems some "safety" organizations think heavy trucks going fast
is dangerous and try to convince lawmakers to have different speed
limits.

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

 *Nods* we give a drivers license to pretty much anybody who wants one. When I 
was in Germany in the '90s the German kids my age were spending months in 
drivers training at a cost of thousands of (1990s) marks.I went to driver's ed 
which wasn't required and took, I think, 2 weeks of like 2 hours a day plus 
maybe 4-5 hours in the car.

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

 Its bonkers here, back in the early 2000s I'd see people pulled over all the 
time. Now I drive a similar amount and almost never see a car pulled over. Much 
of my commute is 4 lane highway at 55mph with most cars going 65 minimum and 
many at 80.
I never thought I'd say this but we really need more enforcement, people slow 
down (at least briefly) when they see a car pulled over...

Never gets pulled over.
I should ask her what she does when she goes towards Flint and hits the 75 zone.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

I think the biggest negative about 3D printing is the time it takes to clean up 
or finish a print. Most people think you just upload the file, turn the printer 
on and go. A lot depends on how fine a line/resolution/layer you set up to 
print, which also affects print time substantially. Default settings in most of 
the printing software is pretty rough, and if you don’t tune it, you’ll spend a 
lot of time filing and trimming the finished product because it’s so rough.

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

 Does MI still have truck speed limits? When we were there (gosh is it almost 6 
years ago already?) trucks were limited to 10 or 15mph slower than cars which 
made trucks rolling roadblocks that some people seemed to see as a challenge to 
dart around. Seemed like that was extra dangerous for no reason.

Re: [MBZ] Might be cutting the cord

I would second YouTube TV. It’s around $56/month with taxes or thereabouts, but 
it’s got a wide range of programming, including your beloved Fox network, and 
unlimited DVR capabilities. You just choose a show you want recorded and it 
records it then puts the copy in your library.

Early morning before the sun hits the roof, that's my approach to any
work in the attic, at pretty much any time of year.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

2020-01-14 Thread MG via Mercedes

At the UF print lab where they will do printing
for a reasonable cost they have a printer that
uses a carbon fiber embedded plastic that they
have used to produce motorcycle brake and clutch
levers that are almost impossible to break.

Look down at the choices under “3D Printing Materials”. There are a number
of different materials to print with, all of which have different
characteristics depending on what you’re printing. The most common material
is PLA, but it’s probably not ideal for something like a key head. You can
get filament that has real wood in it to look wood grained, for example,
along with all sorts of other stuff.

You don’t really have to have any design abilities. Just go to

Thingverse

or any number of other web sites that host 3D printer files and start
searching. The stuff you’ll find is amazing, and the materials to make

them

are relatively cheap. There are a bunch of Mercedes related things on

I haven’t done anything significant with my printer, but it’s fun to

[MBZ] Car Shipping

Just saw a note from someone about car shipping on another forum I belong to. 
They were looking for a shipper that could pick up a car and arrange for 
storage for a couple of weeks at the destination. They ended up using CarMax.

Apparently CarMax will ship your car, not just a car you bought from them, and 
give you up to two weeks free storage at their secure lot at the destination. 
They didn’t say what it cost, but as a matter of convenience it sounded like it 
worked out well for them.

Do understand that there are a wide range of materials available for 3D

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

Sounds like I need to find (or create) the files to make the two halves of
the key head and send them down to you for printing.

Re: [MBZ] Replacement Key Head for 124

I got a printer courtesy of a credit card scam someone tried to accomplish on 
my youngest son. His credit card got compromised and someone ordered two 3D 
printers with it. The bank reversed the fraudulent charges and he thought that 
was it, not knowing what they were for. A few weeks later two 3D printers show 
up at the house from some company in Taiwan. He contacted the company and the 
credit card people, and both of them said to keep them as I suspect it wouldn’t 
have been worth it to ship them back.

He didn’t want them so I kept one and gave the other to a coworker’s dad who is 
a retired aerospace engineer. I think it’s an Ender 3 or something like that.

You don’t really have to have any design abilities. Just go to Thingverse or 
any number of other web sites that host 3D printer files and start searching. 
The stuff you’ll find is amazing, and the materials to make them are relatively 
cheap. There are a bunch of Mercedes related things on Thingverse.

I haven’t done anything significant with my printer, but it’s fun to tinker 
with. Most of what I’ve made so far are enhancements for the printer itself.
