    Hey Jason, 2 quick ones. With the head unit, steering wheel controls etc is good, however, when I did mine I could not then change the clock in the dash. Can yours - might be worth an update if it can? 2nd. With the rear, the new air shocks, check the lines before doing a new shock, I did that and it ended up being a perished air line.

    • @TyredFormat
      @TyredFormat  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the tip! Yes my friend and previous owner noted the workshop he used to fit the new bags did say to keep an eye on some of the air lines!
      I actually haven’t tried setting the clock via the wheel or anything yet, so that’s a good shout.
      I believe I can adjust the clock using the scan tool I reviewed recently (well, it was an hour out of whack and I turned on DST/BST and it changed time).

    • @liamcinq
      @liamcinq Рік тому +1

      With this era of Mercedes the time is set in the HU which inturn changes the clock in the cluster so you might lose the function if you change the HU.

    Lovely video!
    Can you do a video of your trunk? I just bought a combi(universal) but half my trunk is empty so I don’t know where to place things. My fire extinguisher just slides from one way to another. Also about the emergency wheel. Do you have it? I don’t have one and have no idea what to buy.
    Also the shock absorbers in your truck are they gas or hydraulic? I was told that they are hydraulic but were really expensive and that it would be better not to change them. The DPF of the car was sold, the cd changer and wheel and the electric pump and they pretty much fucked me over with this purchase as I have given 1000€ more than what they told me in repairs and now I even have to change the whole front suspension system… but the cart is pretty and really comfortable.
    It’s my first car and damn so expensive 😅 but I really wanted it haha
    Edit: does the back spitter work for you? Mine is not working and I don’t see any leaks. I shoved a needle in it but nothing happened

      Thanks a bunch! You saved me 70 bucks. I just fitted mine yesterday. The main pain in the rear is running that thick harness from the back to the unit. Also, the unit supports carplay, you don't need to use any of those suspicious apps.

    • @seer7327
      @seer7327 Рік тому +1

      I believe he connected using the optical interface, which does connect up to the factory (premium systems) amp. Factory sub control, however, is lost: my understanding is that it is fed all frequencies- maybe one can utilze a crossover to resolve? Fader functions, from what I've read, are also lost. I'm holding off on doing all this for these reasons: I'd prefer to do what Amazing Road TV did, but am unable to find an HU with true Line Out.
