I read all the negatives about the Mercedes Bluetooth puck. Very few phones were compatible and most of those would not allow upload of the phone's contact list. We have three phones and 2/3 would not work.

I searched all over the place and found a company called Autotronics (www.autotronics.com) which offers for $249 a plug-compatible that seems to work with most anything. They were very price competitive, the part is literally plug-in 5 seconds install (open the console, pop off the plastic cover, plug this thing in). It is a quality look & feel part. It seems to work with anything (We have a Droid, a BB, and an iPhone). There are two possible interfaces in the car and their web site has a nice set of photos to identify which you have.

Once I plugged it in, I pushed the button on the puck to start pairing, followed the Bluetooth search menu on the phone (about 3 steps), and it was a total of about 5 minutes (no crap) start to finish and I was up and running.

It is located in the trunk on the passenger side. To access it you have to lift the spare tire cover and pull the battery cover panel (usually has a velcro strap). Be certain to pull cover bottom first, as there is a tab along the top of the panel. Good luck

Its in the trunk on passenger side.Also for the other questions about not being able to shift your car out of park is because Benz put a $5 dollar part made of plastic in the gear shifter.This piece breaks and then the dealer wants to charge you $600-$900 to change it! You don't need this plastic piece it is only for safety so a child can't shift the car while in park and roll down the road. I would take it to somebody who can put it on a lift. It is much easier on a lift because of all the plastic covers protecting the underside of the car.

I had the same problem - and had to go to my local Ford dealer for the answer - press the spindle by the clock (shown as G in the user manual) until minutes display flashes. Then press the spindle next to the digital odometer display to change the minutes to required time. Press clock spindle again to go to hours and repeat if required.

Make sure you turn the ignition key to position 2 before doing this otherwise you will just change between 12 and 24 clock settings.

Hope this helps.

Is it water or anti-freeze? If its anti-freeze your heater core is leaking which is usually a costly repair.

If its water its probably a problem with the body drain. Seems to be a on going problem with some Mercedes models even S class.

----------

Is the water leaking from the passenger's side? If so, the water would most probably be coming from the heat blower motor area, it is under the gloves compartment. This usually happens when the drainage pipes (under the hood in front of the windshield) get clogged by tree leaves, and rain starts to build up on them. It is a common problem in Benz cars.

Yes, I have been filling my 1997 Mercedes C230 with regular unleaded for years and NO problems or loss of power. If the engine knocks, that means the octane rating is too low, but if it does not, the octane is fine. Mine never knocks and runs fine on unleaded regular. Why wear a size 13 shoe if you only need size 12?

it's located on the engine . or take it to the dealer . if you don't know what you are doing . those vehicle are expensive . if i were u . i take it to the dealer . Easy there! The thermostat is on top of the water pump and is a simple fix. You need an "O" gasket when you replace the thermostat.

Rear brake pads? To replace the pads, just remove the rear tires. then the brake pads are as easy as, punching the pin out of the caliper, then the brake pads can be removed staight out the rear. You will want to open the brake fluid reservoir first and remove some brake fluid. Then use a special brake depressing tool, or screwdriver to push back the piston on the caliper, do one brake pad at a time. And install in reverse order.

Mercedes used to have A and B services (A was simple oil change, B was a more comprehensive inspection), but starting around the time of the current E class models the service indicator now goes to C, D, E and beyond as the miles increase. I had a D service done on my E320 at around 50K miles - which was an oil change and basic inspection (like the old A service). The dealer probably has a list of services required by code. The most expensive routine thing to change are the brakes - seem to wear very quickly on most mercedes, but especially this model - and are not cheap to replace - also not easy to do outside the dealer's shop - since you need to disconnect the electronic braking system to change pads and rotors.

Found it myself: Remove the six retaining pins that hold the trunk liner to the lid. Remove the center bolt that fastens the light assembly to the trunk lid. From the exterior, unscrew the two screws that fasten the light assembly to the lid. Squeeze the plastic lens clip and remove the lamp assembly. Remove the two electrical leads so that the bulb can be replaced. Reverse the procedure to re-assemble. The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes.
