when replacing the batteries...can anyone tell me if the front, starting battery
supports any memory devices in the car..
and if when changing either battery , front or read, is it ok to bridge a temporary 12 v supply to keep the memories alive.
tnx glen

Glen,
This link, http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r129-sl-class/1354005-what-do-r129-dead-battery.html , will take you to a string of posts on this topic. Of particular interest may be the free roadside assistance from Mercedes posting. If you're in the US, for around $125, they come to you, install the new battery, and take care of any system resets that need to be done. Good luck-

Bob
