Re: Rationale for the reduced size of the nearside wing mirror on my W124 (perspective)

One aspect I like about (particularly older) Mercedes is their thoughtful design of the vehicles. Similar to how the window switch lighting ceases when the rear windows are deactivated, or the little blind that descends in the middle of the screen on a W124. Both minor and major aspects are signific...

Re: Charging extension cord Affirmative or Negative

I have often contemplated this matter, although I have not taken the initiative to explore it. Kindly inform us!

Utilising an extension lead on the 13A plug side is preferable, since it lacks overheating mitigation for the plug, possibly leading to a severe event.

Re: Has anybody used the services of Carly?

Thank you for the information. I have no concerns about clutch wear or stress since the 3.0L diesel engine and gearbox are specifically engineered to handle almost twice the normal power output. Given my current annual income of about 4-5k, it seems unlikely that I will achieve a total of 100k in th...

Re: Has anybody used the services of Carly?

Thank you for your kind offer, however I regret to inform you that I am located around 100 miles north of your current location, making it impractical for me to accept. I have not yet used OBDeleven. I am indifferent to purchasing either that or Carly. However, I would appreciate knowing the capabil...

Re: Has anybody used the services of Carly?

My expectation, at the very least, was to have the capability to control the roof from a distance. I have seen other discussions in the past, not necessarily on this platform, where users have discussed the ability to adjust the volume either by using certain button combinations on the remote contro...

Has anybody used the services of Carly?

I have seen many advertisements on YouTube for Carly, a gadget that allegedly facilitates the unlocking of "hidden features." A few years ago, I had the voice control feature of my 2012 3L A5 Cab unlocked. Audi has disabled this feature for unknown reasons. If the product does not provide ...

Re: Experienced observer

Although I have not been actively monitoring costs, I believe that the 2015 model is quite overpriced, especially considering its mileage, particularly for an automobile with an automatic gearbox. Although these automobiles have little mileage, there is now a wide selection available. Remain vigilan...
