Hello all, new to the forum. Definitely can say that reviewing many threads here has really helped and allowed me to enjoy my C450AMG "fun project".
Based on a thread, just ordered AMR's P2 Stage 2 package with weistec downpipes, and AWE track exhaust. Currently, working on getting the custom duraflex hood skinned in CF to finish off the CF phase, right now its just wrapped. Look forward to the conversations and continual learning here. Just thought I'd share some pics. Thanks again!
Cheers!
Love the C450AMG; always working on it when I have time. Will post updated pics. Just got in H&R sport springs
Switched out OEM CF rear diffuser with custom CF diffuser and separate fin diffuser to later accept the AWE track exhaust and quad 3.5" round CF exhaust tips.Empty exhaust space (for now)
Always learning. Just got the H&R sport springs in to install

Hi I'm glad to find this forum. I've been searching for answers here. I just got a 1997 SL500 with about 40,000 miles on it. I drove it last thanksgiving, and it was stored for the winter with the hard top on, but the indicator lights for the top and the roll bar are light up and not functioning. It was hooked it up to a CTEK while it wasn't being driven. It's in pristine condition. I would love to be able to put the top down and be able to cruise with my hair blowing in the wind as my father wanted.
I'm pretty handy with cars, and have a shop with lifts to work out of. So I'm willing to try to DIY it. I read through a bunch of posts. Tried replacing some fuses in the trunk, disconnecting the battery, resinking the windows, looked at the hydraulic fluid (fullish and dark). All to no avail. Couldnt find the switches mentioned in one post. or tried the sequence mentioned in the "129 Roof switch & Roll bar switch glowing - Roof not working ..." thread to suss out the issue yet. I guess I need a special Mercededs OBD reader, and then some speakers.
I posted to the C class forum... Anyone have feedback for me on installing a replacement head unit? I'm looking at a RCA-to-MOST adapter... Any feedback?
Hi everyone. I'm Miami from Atlanta GA, I just brought a 03 c230 K. I'm loving it so far. However, my tape player keeps ejecting the tape adapter. I later will want a way to play my mp3. But I did notice these two cords hanging from the unit can anyone tell me what they may be please?
The cables are very blurry in your photo. Could you post a more clear image?
Hello to all! Just joined last night. Looks like a great site! I just have troubles finding my way around. Specifically looking for pictures and instructions of how to install OEM illuminated star on my new 2018 E300 4matic. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks and glad to be here. I hope to contribute.

Been on the forum for years.
But I just got my first AMG. I've had Benz and BMWs but as of late been more interested in the AMGs.
I just got a 2006 CLS55, IWC edition, absolutely love it.
Hey all! Just picked up my new (to me) 2009 CLK550 in calcite white. Only had it for a few hours on a rainy day but I’m very much looking forward to my time with this car.

How do I enter a question?
Hello everyone,
I am selling my 1966 W113 230SL and I bought a 2005 R230 SL350 (M112 3.7 engine, without the faulty balance axle gears of it's successor).
Nice ride!
I searched and searched for info on how to post a new thread. How can I....?
Hi all,
I am the proud owner of a 15' C300. Brought my baby home last night and am in love! My husband has a 07' C230 that my son now drives to college. I never really drove his car and had NO IDEA what I was missing. I just spent an hour at 5am (PJ's and all) sitting in my car absorbing as much of the owner's manual as possible. LOL
Couple of questions for anyone kind enough to answer.
Sunroof
The pano sunroof seems to pop or drop real hard when closing. I am still under warranty so if this is not normal I would like to know,
Proper closing: I a very confused on how to fully close from a fully open position.
Email
When I try to connect a Iphone 8 I get the message it isn't compatible. I find that hard to believe! Anyone else able to connect an iphone 8 for email?
Is an update available, how do you update?
Only two questions so far! Pretty good i'd say. The COMMAND center is absolutely the best thing since sliced bread!
2005 C230 sedan with manual transmission. I've had it for 8 years but I've decided I'm going to learn more about it.
I'm interested in servicing/fortifying mechanical components as well as learning about the potentials of ECU programming and optimizing. I'm very interested in understanding what sort of hardware/software I can use to work with my car. From what I gather, I can't get access to a Xentry subscription short of a 10k membership. But maybe with my older car, there are alternatives?

Hello,
The sunroof may need to be re-programmed (usually because the battery was disconnected/discharged for some reason).
I remember calling the service garage all panicked about this once and the told me to push the sunroof buttons in a certain sequence (I don't recall it now). Anyway, if you Google: "reset sunroof on 2015 C300", I'm sure you'll find it.

Been buzzing all week!
Phone goes yesterday “We’ve discovered a 4” crack on the inside of a wheel in the multipoint pre sale check”
Pick up postponed until new AMG alloy arrives??
...good that they’ve picked it up and told me but it’s a national holiday (Monday) here in England and for once the weather forecast is wonderful
so was really looking forward to getting the car out in the good weather.
Looking like next weekend now
......will be snowing with my luck!
Good one they found that crack, John! How did the car behave up to now?
2006 SL500 - 77,000 km - mint condition - purchased December 2017
1. replaced Serpentine belt
2. replaced LCD screen in the original Command Unit - easy to do if any wants info - cost of screen was $150 Can to my door - screen was from China but is an original Sharp made in Japan
3. seat air functions - while trying to trace fault, I disconnected the passenger seat electrical plugs with ignition in the 'ON' position causing SRS fault light on - my regular shop mechanic cleared the code with his 'SNAP-ON' code
reader - I believe the problem is feed to the pump or the pump itself
