take out the cig tray and use the wires off the plug, pull the panel where
the window switches are and there is two screws holding the ash tray in ,
that them out and pull it up. the plug is on the back....

Long shot this, but the Merc forums are all US-based and not always very
helpful - I've got a Roadpilot which I've fitted on the right-hand side of
the dash.  It's got a power lead to the cigar lighter, but I've lopped that
off in the hope of finding a hard-wired solution.  However, every wire I
try
is live, ignition on or not.  Wasn't like that in my TT.  I'm guessing that
the newer Mercs run power around the car, and have local modules to control
what's on and off.  Anyone got any experience of this?  I'd rather not have
to take up the carpets or pull the dash apart to find some power.  It's a
2003 CLK cab if that makes a difference.

Thanks
