Hey Chris,

Do you have the flash to change to the AMG speedo?
I believe you can do it with star DAS and rewrite software...any ideas.?
Thanks again, as always your knowledge is appreciated greatly.

If I tell you my email I guess they see that as advertisement as well.

It should be OK to use Classifieds Forum not even this W221 to sell left over parts of your W221 but let's say if you sell other consumables , accessories then it's wise to say it's out of forum rules because you or anyone can knock out of vendors by this way .

For instance : I swapped my steering wheel and if I ever decided to sell it I should use Classifieds not even W212 Forum

Just share your Skype/MSN, it's for communication And it really shouldn't be forums business about what you decide to talk there.

Interesting, do you know the name off hand?
I don't want to cheap out and do a half-assed job but if it works well i would certainly consider switching to black carpet. My seats are more of a butterscotch than tan and i think it would blend nicely

Hi Chris & Everyone in this thread...

After seeing your build and swapping up into something better, now I am so anxious to get a W221 2007-2009 spec. I am from Malaysia, currently have a W124, W126 & W209, while my DD is a 2012 VW Passat EURO spec.

Hope your SL65 project is coming up good....Cheers & Merry Christmas everyone!

Hazard switch

Hi Chris
As you changed the interior do you have a diagram or pictures of how to remove the centre console and remove the hazard switch

It is very simple. It is 2 screws under the front box and 2 screws in the rear bottom on the sides behind small caps. Then it just slides out backwards.
