Re: Disconnecting from Phone Keys

I am grateful, as
I will hold this in my reserve as it is currently functioning. Whenever I've tried to remove the phone key from the car and then re-establish it, it has always worked. I saw that NR4P states that the effectiveness dropped to 20% over time, therefore I will attempt the Airplane/BT ...

Re: Disconnecting from Phone Keys

I was able to unlock the car by using the Tesla app, which I had opened and linked. However, the car still couldn't start or move. The phone was "connected" according to the car's Bluetooth, but it wouldn't budge. The podcast I was listening to in the car kept playing on a SirusXM app! Got home with ...

Disconnecting from Phone Keys

In the past twelve months, this has transpired three times. The car won't unlock even after I walked up to it with my phone key. To start the car, I need to take the Tesla card out of my wallet, unlock it, and then use it.

I am driving a 2025 M3 RWD. Here is the phone: Pixel 10.

Re: Break Light for the R230

I agree that it's crucial for the seal to be snug against the lid to prevent water infiltration and subsequent problems with the lid latch. Personally, I prefer to use the original components whenever possible, but that's just me. I also agree that you can find cheaper alternatives to many parts ...

If what I've read about AliExpress ones is true, they don't fit, then I'd definitely recommend the OEM Benz version.

Re: Break Light for the R230

Using an authentic OEM part does not ensure that it will be problem-free. Can you tell me where MB gets this part? Regarding the half an hour, I won't judge your mechanic skills because I don't know what you have. Regarding your remark about my sister, I get the impression that you are not a ...

Re: Break Light for the R230

A brand new replacement one is available for about $30 on eBay. It looks exactly the same from the outside. There are several OEM options available for less than $40 that are likely recovered from damaged vehicles.
I was able to exchange in under half an hour without using any bandaids.

Re: To fix or restore...? Or is it time to end things?

Given its age of thirty years, it would have been considered a partout a long time ago.

Whether it's a want, a need, or a combination of the two, these vehicles are out there these days.


Your post's structure makes it seem like none of those things is true here.

It may be time to part ways; it's ...

Re: Need help with core plugs?

Assuming you're certain it's a 460 large block, then the engine belongs to the 385 series.

Post a picture of the engine and others here can confirm its model if you're worried about a possible swap.
