I really, really want one of these, but I'm sure there weren't more than five sold here in the States, if they ever were.

Has anyone found a full cluster of gauges which has the trip computer, and if so, is it at all possible to transplant it into a '95 E320?

Thanks. It's not like I'd do it, tomorrow, but I'm trying to keep my mind busy.

A what?

 

[zviratko]

i know it's possible and easy on w126. I have only seen this on e500 and i doubt it will fit on e320 from anything else than e280 or e320 because of engine management differences.

 

[mckellyb]

Yeah, the 126 is what got me to thinkin' it might be possible.

I'll even bone up on my German and start using metric as my default standard of measure if I could make this work...though I'm having conceptual difficulty with L/100kms. If it were Km/L, I could handle that, but I don't think in gallons/100 miles.

American brain...stubborn that way....

Mercedes W124 trip computer signals

Do someone in the Forum what signals use the MB trip computer?

I would like to retrofit one of these on my 1993 300D.

Hello mckellyb,
Did you find your specific W124 digital cluster?

Although I live in Europe, I am looking for one as well for my E320 1995 W124 convertible (USA version imported recently), but I still don't know if it will work or not. I belong to a W124 club, but no one seems to have tried to do it so far.

I have found a photo gallery in Germany where it shows a convertible with this cluster post installed: 29032009489

So if you have had more success I would very much be interested :thumbsup:.
Best regards.

Images #13 & 22 if you're looking for it.

How many fingers you got??? There, you just learned metric.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to fit a Reiserechner in your car, because it's a diesel. AFAIK, the Reiserechner needs signals from the ECU (which only gasoline-powered cars have) in order to show the actual fuel consumption. At least that's what I read in some German car forums (most notably w124freunde and motortalk.de).

 

[sbaert]

The reiserechner IS available on the diesel W124, at least the last ones built.

The MB museum in Stuttgart has a silver '95 W124 E300 Turbodiesel with that configuration.

This is a resurrected thread from June 13. The new post starts @ #7.

Check out this 1992 500E with reiserechner There are some buttons for it between the rear window switches.

 

[sbaert]

Yes, and if you use the forum search engine this has all been covered before.

Bottom line, it's not exactly a great system and it is not just a plug & play affair.

Excactly.Though I've always wanted to have reiserechner, i don't even know why. I just find it very cool and pretty rare option to have
