your car chassis number.... something like:
WDB 202023 1A 123456
you can find a plate on the b-pillar when you open the driver's or passenger's door.
on US version, you can also find it on the windshield on driver's side near the wiper blade (park position). it starts with WBA

Mercedes vehicles shouldn't have VIN # that start with WBA, because that define it as BMW, not a Mercedes.
Hmm..sleepwalker might be a spy from BMW....[sm=smiley17.gif]

Hey Sleepwalker,
Cingular is a wireless carrier here in the states. I currently have a Nokia brand phone and would hate to change it. I presume I would need to speak to a person in the wireless industry (Cingular) to see if a crossover is possible or is motorola have a deal going on with Mercedes?
any ideas Sleepwalker?
You know this is a "want" not really a "need" type of deal here.
These cars have a lot of technology (though mine is a 2000)and would like to explore all of their possibilities.
Thanks again,
Alex.

RE: c 230 dial tone when turn on the ignition
it was my mistake MioCLK
i was used to chassis number on day to day basis and almost forgot that USA version starts with WBA and recognised as VIN
yes, rest of the world version for mb starts with WDB too.
i admit that i have been working with BMW dealership for 5 years as senior technicians, but that was 10 years ago when E39 was just starting to get famous.
not much challenge in bmw because the car was too easy to repair and even the roadside shop can do it. you got at least 60 control units inside a mercedes-benz while only 20 in bmw (more or less depending on model).
i still repair bmw now once in a while. i got everything by my own (GT1, TIS, ETK, etc.)

they have a contract with nokia now and have discontinued the motorolla as standard options.
anyway, aftermarket installation is always a customer's choice. but you can get a package equipment from mb if you want.

Jebuz christ, sleepwalker how do u know so much just by the vin #, you searched it up cuz u work for MB or something?
I'm new here too and you've motivated me to go do something drastic like study this stuff day and night or go work for Mercedes.
Yeah i know this has nothing to do with anything, but what's up guys...i'm going back to reading threads...pretty interesting...you learn somethin' new everyday.
-Kelvin
I got 2002 C230K...suggestions on small mods to boost power? Nothing too expensive...yet...
Btw, any you guys know why MB decided to drop in the 1.8L instead of keepin the 2.3L? Costs or what?
You can do so much more with the 2.3 can't you?
(Again...bear with me if i sound like a newb...still tryin' to learn)
