Re: Collision Statistics

Collision detection is included in the standard alarm features, at least on our C Class. Valet Protect alerts you if the vehicle moves beyond a predetermined distance from its parked location, or optionally, when the engine is ignited or turned off.

Re: Collision Statistics

As previously stated, nearly all remote services are complimentary for the initial three years. I suspect that collision detection merely transmits an alert to the Mercedes Me application, activating a notification on your mobile device. I once received a (false) notification on my device, but I cur...

Re: Remote Renewal for Land Rovers

Great yell.
I don't have the tracker; all I have is the remote. I just paid £60 for another two years (after which I might not own the vehicle anymore).

Re: Methods to Reduce Suspension Hardness

Changing to a smaller wheel has additional advantages, though:
Less weight means a more comfortable ride on smaller wheels.
Affordable tires with smaller rim sizes

Re: M57D30 problems at 184 kilometers

Did you not complete all six simultaneously? That is how I have always approached it.

Re: M57D30 problems at 184 kilometers

What was the duration of the leak-off test, and what volume was expelled from the injectors?

Re: Airbag Indicator 2001 Camry XLE

Have you ever submitted a report to NHTSA, given that you have experienced this problem from the outset, with numerous airbag complaints related to accidents?

Re: Airbag Indicator 2001 Camry XLE

I am perplexed. You are displeased regarding a wiring connection in a twenty-five-year-old Camry and the NHTSA's lack of a more vigorous investigation into the matter.
