Not really sure, I looked into it a while back but no one made them for CLS, only E. The CLS one is bigger. Try eBay

I think I might just get it from dealer. I don't want the black or anything.

So clean brotha, I loved how Auketane outfited his CLS, here are a couple pics for your pleasure

It is so clean and simple, but looks insane imo.

My brother has this habit of turning on the lights even if it is on Auto mode. I think he just left the lights on because he says it doesn't even turn on so probably dead battery.

Congrats! Excellent choice.

"Hello Darkside"........give it a week and you'll be saying, "I've seen the light!"

..and yes, sounds like a battery issue. Don't sweat it.

I've done it before, stupid mistake but it shouldn't be a huge deal. Throw the battery on a charger and you should be ok.. Sometimes when the batteries die in these cars it messes stuff up. If it were my car I would not jump it.

You could always call roadside assistance to diagnose the issue and offer a jumpstart,

They also sell and install the main battery cheaper than the dealer. I think $180 total.
If it's the aux battery up front, go to Walmart and buy a 14BS motorcylce battery for $80. Its easy to replace

I am at work, I will look at it once I get home. I am sure if it was a dead battery, in 8 hours time it should charge up a little for me to leave it on for a while.

$25700 with 77k mileage after driving it back down to NJ. He has extra set of wheels, which I will be selling so after that really I got it for $24500

Thank you Shardul yet again! Problem was the SprintBooster caused the ESP malfunction so the when the car was started it would just putter like a tracker. Shardul told me SB is bad for AMGs so I took it and and connected it to DAS and erased everything! Works great now!
