1st the radio,
This is from the owners manual that you can download from the 1st link in my signature.

If an incorrect code has been entered and confirmed, CODE will reappear on the display. The correct code must be entered once again.
If an incorrect code is entered three times, WAIT will appear on the display and the radio will be locked out for about ten minutes.
The lock out time will only count down if the radio is left switched on.

2nd the top,
check the hydraulic fluid level on the pump http://www.slkworld.com/r170/hydunit.htm
its in the trunk on the right side behind a small plastic panel
if the roof switch is flashing there is a problem elsewhere & refer to the troubleshooting guide in my signature,
if you need to manually raise the roof its on page 221 in the owners manual http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...0_slk32amg.pdf

The SLK's electro-hydraulic Vario convertible hard top is its marquee feature. It's also one of the car's most problematic systems. Typically, if the controller senses that one component isn't working, it can cancel the whole job of lowering or raising the roof. See if this tech article may be of some assistance. If not, try this one. We have many other great tech articles here for other fixes with your MB. Good luck!
