Another build!? I can't wait for it.. I have really enjoyed going back through and reading all of this build after I joined the forum, awesome stuff.

Prash - that's great, mind if I ask where you got it from and what it ran you?

Chris - First off, thanks for all of this amazing help to the forum community

2nd - your dvd headrests showed the MB bootup logo on it, were they tied in to the command unit? If so, where can I get a set like that?

Thanks man

Hey. I got the cluster brand new from MB dealer in the US, cost approx $800, fairly easy to fit but needed help with coding.

Beautiful Car

Will lowering the car using links cause more wear and tear to the struts than having it at factory height?

Done.

@Chris.....

Am doing this retro fit now. Used parts from same donor car. Just installed (o/s/r) roller on door, door control module and door panel switch, everything plugged in. All 4 switch buttons working but blind not going upwards, can just hear clicking noise when pressing window button up.

Any ideas please ?
Does it need programming for to my car?
Any additional fuse need adding to fused boxes ?

Much appreciated.

Can be programming needed. Can also be faulty motors.

Yes the Rear Window Blinds are on and fully working

.

The car needed recoding by the MB Dealer. Basically all 4 door control modules, rear SAM and CGW module needed SCN coding. The 'rear window blind' option was added through MB Germany to the chassis number and the dealer downloaded the code directly onto the car after approval.

SO if you want to this retrofit, you need
1. Both rollers
2. Both Rear Door control modules for the roller to plug into (mine had an empty plug socket but no pins inside so I had to get both modules)
3. Some fixings from MB to align the rollers to the door and trim to complete the job.
4. SCN coding

BUT Your existing door switches should work after programming, also the blinds can be operated from the drivers door switch.

Can you give some advice on the drivers side seat leather bottom? My dealer put a new seat heater with new leather (they say this is the only way it comes) and the new leather doesn't fit as nice as the old. They are going to orde rin ANOTHER new seat cover, but I don't want to same thing to happen.

The new leather that was installed isn't as tight and doesn't fit as nice as the original. Any ideas? Dealer says they will order another new leather shell, but don't want the same thing to happen twice.

Just had this done:

But, the new seat leather isn't as snug as the original.

They said they can order another new seat bottom and try it again....

That is because the cusion it is mounted on is used and it is flattened after all years of sitting in it. If you want a tight fit You must get a new cusion or have a upholstery guy try to shrink the leather with a hot steam tool.
