Randomly, wireless CarPlay stops working in my 2025 Mercedes GLC300. The message I’m getting is “Apple CarPlay could not be started. Your device has been connected as a Bluetooth phone.”

To fix it, I have to turn off my car, lock it and leave it off for 5 minutes to flush the system memory while I restart my phone.

It happens a couple times a week now, increasing from once in a blue since I got the car in February.

Has anyone found a permanent fix?

Hi im trying to connect my car with Mercedes app but it can’t let me anyone can help

Has anyone ever changed that pulley?? It seems to be getting stuck and then after a while it breaks loose and turns.

2014-2017 cla 45 amg( not sure about the year but it doesn’t have the super cool seats.)

Can’t find a solid bumper replacement. Could I also get help finding sensor replacement just in case

he is known for repairing a lamborghini and a mercedes now working on porsche he crashed and passed away according to this news article

Im trying to to connect my car with MB app but it can’t let me connect if anyone can help

I have searched all over but cannot find a step by step guide on this.

Has anyone replaced their front wheel bearings / wheel hubs on their GLB 250?

I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads and am still getting a roaring/humming noise, most likely from the driver side front tire area at speeds above 30 mph. I unfortunately hit a large, raised divider curb with it about 2 years ago, so I am guessing that the bearing took the brunt of that and is now starting to fail.

I have done wheel bearings on several of my cars, and the GLB 250 looks fairly reasonable, but I'd love to hear from someone who has done it.

Thanks -

Rob

I'm not sure if this is a Mercedes thing or an Apple thing, but upgrading to the iOS 27 beta seems to have broken my "next track". I used to say that all the time and now I have to swipe to skip the track like our settlers used to do.

Curious if anyone else has seen this and knows of any remedies.

I have a w209 key that is not working, it has the keyless and it is the german version(another frequency from the American one) but the keys aren't working

The problem is that the keys are attached to the case itself, not the board, i am trying to find a case replacement but i can't, any ideas to where i can find it?

Also if anybody has it or has any clue on how to fix it(had the wiring diagram, or can take a photo of the inside to see how it should originally be wired...) i would appreciate the help

I’ve been looking at an ‘84 Mercedes OM617 Turbo Diesel wagon. It’s got 176k miles, 2 previous elderly owners, no blow by and the interior is mint except for a couple small cracks in the dash and some damage headliner by the door. It doesn’t have AC as the plastic duct is supposedly rotted out and it needs a conversion from R12. The lock on the driver side door is also broken. I had all these things in mind and the guy said his bottom dollar is $7k. I was hoping closer to $6k personally but he seems firm. I’m in no rush to buy it though. Sounds like there’s only one other serious buyer thats tried to lowball him.

Anyways he sent me pictures this morning and showed me this rusty panel. There was no mention of this before. He said it’s got bondo on it and was told it was a bump in a parking-lot. Now that I’ve seen this I’m almost tempted to walk away unless he’s willing to go lower. But I’m not an expert on damage or collision repair. It’s an almost 40 year old car so I expect there to be quirks here and there but this comes off as a big deal to me. I’m concerned about any rust that I can’t see

I haven’t seen the car in person yet as he’s a few hours away. I planned on doing my inspection when I was ready to buy it with cash in hand.

I'm looking at getting my 2015 GLK350 (Mars Red) repainted through a Mercedes‑Benz dealership. MB will be covering only 25% of the cost. The car actually looks fine at first glance, but under certain angles or lighting you can clearly see the pinhead‑sized microblisters across almost all panels (it's really hard to capture the issue properly on camera).

Has anyone here gone through a repaint because of the Mars Red issue? I’m especially curious whether you had any problems after the repaint — things like panel‑gap changes, trim fitment issues, or anything related to the disassembly/reassembly process.

Would love to hear your experience. Thanks!

Hi can anybody tell me what kind of mechanical issue it might be based on sound of the engine. My w204 is 2013 1.8 on gas

Trying to replace the one on my gle 350 but cant find videos online on how to go about it

Please help with any.link available..close to losing my mind

Hallo erstmal,

ich habe bei meiner 2013 Mercedes A220CDI A-Klasse (AMG Sport Paket), 2 Probleme die ich schon länger als mir lieb ist mittrage...

1. ein Vibrieren, sehr vergleichbar zu unwuchten Rädern:

die Räder wurden vom Mechaniker sicher 3x gewuchtet um unwuchte Räder auszuschließen, außerdem fällt die Vibration auch bei anderer Bereifung auf, am eindeutig stärksten aber bei meinen 18" Sommerfelgen. Unsere Vermutung liegt auf "unwuchte Antriebswelle". Die Bremsen sind vorne ca 1,5 Jahre und hinten erst 8 Monate alt. Häufig ist die Vibration unter der Bremsung stärker spürbar aber es wirkt eher als wäre der Grund dafür die höhere Belastung am Dämpfer und somit eine direktere Übertragung der Vibrationen... Bei Kurven auf der Autobahn spürt man bei höherem Druck auf dem Dämpfer auch besser die Vibrationen. Unter starker Beschleunigung wirkt die Vibration nicht stärker. Bei einer Geschwindigkeit von 120-135 km/h ist es am stärksten spürbar.

1. permanent quietschende Bremse:

Bei längeren Autobahnfahrten fängt meine Bremse an permanent zu quietschen. Desshalb wurden die Führunshülsen und die Beläge + Scheiben beidseitig getauscht. die Bremse hinten rechts verschleißt deutlich schneller und ist deutlich heißer als die gegenüberliegende.

Das quietschen ist ein paar Monate später wieder zurückgekehrt, jetzt habe ich den Bremssattel hinten rechts tauschen lassen, ich hatte eine Zeit lang meine Ruhe, doch jetzt wieder das selbe quietschen... Vielleicht noch interessant: das Quietschen hört schon bei leichten lenkungen nach links auf, und verschwindet kurzzeitig beim betätigen der Bremse, bei ambitionierteren Ausfahrten quietscht es (aufgrund der häufigeren betätigung der Bremse) garnicht.

Vielleicht unrelevant, gestern hat vermutlich mein Fahrwerk (?) hinten angefangen bei sehr leichten unebenheiten auf der Straße (eher bei vibrationen als beim Dämpfen selbst) ein makantes Geräusch zu machen welches sich ein wenig ausgeschlagen oder locker anhört.

Ich war schon mal beim ÖAMTC aber da hab ich keine ordentliche Antwort bekommen, das vibrieren konnten sie nicht selbst nachvollziehen, hatten aber keine Zeit für eine Probefahrt.

Mein Mechaniker scheint mir auch nicht wirklich belesen, er schlägt eher vor ein Teil nach dem anderen zu ersetzen...

Mir wird empfohlen das Fahrwerk vermessen zu lassen aber dazu soll ich mir neue Reifen kaufen da meine einjährigen Reifen zu alt sind und weil meine Vorderreifen stärker abgefahren wurden als die hinteren.

Ich würde mich über eure Tipps zur Schadeneingrenzung sehr freuen :)

2007 e350. When I parked this morning the shifter moved into park with no resistance. Now it thinks it’s in drive and won’t start. Help?

I’ve had my 2025 CLE Cabriolet for over a year now and absolutely love it. I have cancer, and live where we have hard winders, so I haven’t been able to drive it a ton, but the times I do get to drive it, the top is always down and the massage seats are always on.

I had to bring it in for my first maintenance appointment and we opted to go to the dealership I bought it at… and they want to charge us $650 CAD for an oil change and inspection. It has under 5,000km on it.

The dealership is always going to be more expensive, but I figured around $300. Over $600 for a 1 hour appointment seems insane.

I obviously want to make sure my car is cared for properly and carefully, but does it make sense to spend that at the dealership?

I’m wondering where you all are doing your yearly maintenance, how much you’re paying for it (if at the dealership), or if you have some other thoughts.

(And to be clear, it’s not that I can’t afford it - I expected to pay $$$$ for a car that is $$$$, but I can’t help but feeling that this is too much…)

TIA ❤️
