Problems with parking distance control and electrics in Mercedes X-Class model year 2009
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2009 Mercedes X-Class is experiencing issues with parking distance control, general electrical faults, stored fault codes, and a warning light on the speedometer. A possible cause could be a faulty parking aid control unit, as experienced by another owner with a similar model. Another potential solution is a software update, which might resolve error codes and warning lights. Visiting a Mercedes-specialized garage is recommended to diagnose and address the problem effectively.

My Benz already has 157777 km on the clock and the last service was last week. I didn't notice any change after that, the quirks are still there. But thanks for the info, maybe it really is the control unit. I will definitely visit a workshop that is familiar with Mercedes. Too bad it could be so expensive... really annoying! But thanks for the tip!

Hey, no problem! Well, given the number of kilometers and the age, it could actually be the control unit for the parking aid. Of course, it's stupid that it could be so expensive ... but what can you do, right? It could also be that your car needs a software update, I forgot to mention that. Sometimes these error codes and warning lights are caused by an old software version. Talk to the garage about it, maybe they can solve it relatively quickly and cheaply. I hope that the problem can be solved quickly and cheaply. Keep your fingers crossed! Keep us posted on how it turns out.

Hey, thanks, that's a really good idea, I didn't know about the software update. That might help. Really great that you're sharing your experience with me, that makes the whole thing a bit easier. I'll definitely keep at it and let you know how it's resolved in the end. Thanks again for your advice and fingers crossed, hope it doesn't end up being too expensive. See you then!

Hi, I have some experience with cars, especially Mercedes. I had a similar problem on my 2007 Mercedes X-Class and it turned out to be the parking aid control unit that was faulty. The garage replaced it for me and it cost me 355 euros. It would be helpful if you could give me a few details about your car. How many kilometers has it driven? When was the last time it was serviced? In any case, it's best to take your car to a garage that specializes in Mercedes. They can read out the exact fault and tell you what to do. Hope this helps you!
