The Klebster would have a better idea of what is covered with later model stuff.
You’ll see the system identified as a “C3” or C4”. I believe the C4 has wifi
capabilities and doesn’t require a physical connection to the car to be used.
Again, I know Kaleb is up to speed on the later stuff, so I
So I found the fuse chart in a paper that was folded up and tucked in
the fuse box, it has the map for all the boxes in Deutsche, Anglis, and
some other language. Found the ciggy lighter fuse, and of course there
are no spare fuses and no fuse puller thingie. Had a 15A fuse in my
toolbox so p
There are different parameters for the aux fan turn on temperature, for
example, as well as changes to the interior blower fan speed, too. For the
later models like my W220 Mercedes has profiles set up in the software for
various applications. In this case there are profiles for the climate co

The dash says that the marker is non op. I figure it may be the original bulb

DAS is quite expensive is it not? The VCDS cable for my VW was something like
$300 brand new, the software is free once you've bought the cable.

I felt much the same way, although I put my concerns aside in a compromise for

That's nothing. My 2003 S430 (W220) has four fuse boxes. And some
electrical items have "electronic fuses" as MB calls them. It's a

circuit, and it limits current if it sees a ground or short circuit.

I found some pdfs of the charts for the 4(!!!) fuse boxes that some MB
