Head Unit Dead on Start

I started the car for the first time in the cold/rain... Head unit wouldn't start. The "Power" button wasn't illuminated. Stayed like that for about 5 min, then it sprung to life.


I also suspect the left front tweeter only works intermittently, but that's not a pressing concern.

Cars work weird in the cold. The Audi doesn't like the cold even though its made for it. My keyless entry always acts a fool when its cold. The moral of the story is that if it works now then let it go lmao.

I figured as much. I just wouldn't expect that from a Mercedes-Benz.


The volvo S90 it replaces could start on mars; it doesn't care about cold at all.

LOL, Volvo's are amazing cars, the only thing is it's not even close to a status symbol.

My mom looked at the new Xc90, 600 to lease. TO LEASE. That is a joke.

The Volvo S90; I swear, the seat is more comfortable than the S500.

God that car is such a beast. The locking sound it makes reminds me of that scene in Apollo 13 where the guy closes the hatch. The car makes a similar sound.
