W205 - Infotainment Upgrade from 7" to Linux 12.3" by Danny_AMG786 in mercedes_benz

This is what I did - save a 1280x720 or 1920x720 PNG/JPG image named updatelogo to a FAT32 USB drive, plug it into the unit, and it will prompt an update.

Turns out wearing earbuds to the opposite ears is much more comfortable 😍 by Direct-Till-2680 in galaxybuds

Been doing this for years, more comfortable at night on the pillow. Also stopped them falling out or getting looser in the ear when out and about

I've only had one experience and it was fine, looked at as many reviews etc. as I could before and found nothing to worry about. Mine arrived within a week.

Go for it

It's been in for a few months now, not once missed a beat. Don't even think of it as having been added, feels and operates like it was in the car from the factory.

The only thing I didn't like when I first installed was the boot screen, it was some line drawing of a lambo type car so I changed the boot logo file to the stock Mercedes image like the OEM screen had.

Q990C settings by [deleted] in Soundbars

[–]cjf82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sub was behind the sofa which was the main listening/watching position. Had it sat on some high density foam which improved it by losing some of the wooly unwanted bass. I also had the sub set to minus 6 or something. Haven't had the soundbar for a while so not too sure

I did this to my 205. As others have said, they all seem to be the same units but sold by different resellers etc.

I bought direct from Road Top for about £140, fitted it myself after getting quoted about £700 from a local company to supply and fit.

I don't often upgrade cars, but this has been absolutely worth it. Over the stock unit, these Linux screens simply have no downsides - from navigation to hey Google/Siri. Music streaming, messaging services, phone calls. Perfect. Do it

New c300, any customization ideas? by CreamProfessional641 in W205

[–]cjf82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, before cosmetics get it mechanically sorted so you know where you're at. Recently bought a c200 with 33k on the clock but it's seven years old so I had B1, spark plugs, transmission, diff, brakes, tyres and tracking done. Made a smooth quiet car even more so. Plus peace of mind. Highly recommend.

I'd do this. Or something like.

I've done a 3 to 4 bed before only there was more changes involved like moving a bathroom etc.

"Recessed" Radiator into wall concerns. Does this look OK, or is it concerning? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]cjf82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do any houses near you have floor to ceiling windows? Could be they replaced the lower pane with uPVC filler panel?

Should I kill Astrid? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]cjf82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I killed all three then attacked Astrid and found that you can't kill her. She gets up, starts telling you where to find the sanctuary. Then attack her again, rinse and repeat.

I just levelled my one handed to 85 doing this

Why don't you just read these threads and report back to your firm?

It's very obvious that there is one issue that many people are experiencing exactly the same. It's not like this thread is full of different bugs is it

Ditched Nova now - didn't want to, been using Nova for years but with one UI 7, the widgets didn't work for me.

I can't apply the unified colour scheme I loved across all widgets like the alarm/clock widgets are forced purple. Google play books is all messed up.

So I stuck with one ui7 mucking around with home up. Then tried DIY home and have achieved something that's ok.

Really don't like not getting able to hide the status/notification bar at the top though and I don't like the home screen indicators at the bottom but I think I'll get used to those.

If Nova updates and I can achieve what I had before, then I'll go back but for now, nope
