new tip!

Lane Changing: When you wanna change lanes, slightly tap the blinker lever and the blinker should engage 3 time and shut off. So, make sure it doesn't click all the way, just push it down a little before it clicks.

Just tried the unlock pattern change and the tunnel window thing. I fell in love. I love learning new things about my car. Although I knew about the unlock pattern change, it did not work for me the first time, simply because I misunderstood the word "simultaneously". Lol. Thanks!

Mercedes Logo on the navigation screen???

Hey guys im new at this forum and i've posted this as a new thread and i didnt get any replies and i think it was not displayed so i figured id post it as a new trick anw
i was just wondering if we can leave the mercedes logo on the navigation's display while we're driving(i'm talking about when we turn on the radio a mercedes logo is displayed before a disclaimer about being cautions not to stare at the navigation while driving)
so anyone's ever tried it?if yes how?

But one of the more potentially annoying ones too. You really don't know if it will work until you disassemble things, cross your fingers, and wire it up. For that reason, it's not really worth it, imho, unless you enjoy spending the money and gutting the center console.

Actually, now being "downsized" to a normal, you set the speed, direction, and temp kind of HVAC system in my Civic, it's nice to have the simplicity back.

How to Check the battery:
With the ignition key turned to position 1, press the reset button 3 times quickly. Battery voltage is then displayed.

Yup, that works on my W203. Thanks.


Just in case any one else has W166, it doesn't work on W166.
