Two Audio 10 issues
I recently installed the Audio10 in my 2001 c240. I love it. It is a big difference from the cassette headunit. BUT I have two issues so far...
1. When I turn the car on sometimes, there is no sound. Power but no sound. I have to turn the car on and off a few times to get it to play. It doesn't do it all the time but it has been a few times. Any ideas?
2. When my cell phone was sitting on the sliding cover for the cupholder and I got a call, the phone interferred with the radio and I lost sound for a few seconds. Has anyone experienced this?
Any help is appreciated.

sorry man, your getting no responses cuz no one knows... did you purchase the unit second hand? Also the cell phone shut off thing... does it happen everytime you get a call? How long do you lose sound for?

Yes I did purchase it second hand. My bro purchased it in Germany and sent it to me. I had to have a friend at the dealership put the diagnostic tool on the car and set it up for me.
I lose sound for a few second, maybe 4 or 5 seconds when it goes out from the cell phone. but it doesn't happen all the time. Very weird.

I'll bet the problem is something with the phone module telling the radio there's a call, and the radio goes to mute, like its supposed to. You could try disconnecting the phone mute wire to the radio, it's #A-3, and see if that makes a difference.

i've had my audio10 unit for about 1-2 years now. ive experienced the unit go mute on startup...
i will start the car, and the unit is clearly on, yet nothing. the way i resolve it is to just turn the unit off and then on again.. it works for me, im not sure however if u are getting the same type of problem.

I am gonna try this tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I duess it's off to Becker.

Well, I cut the Tel Mute wire and still have the problem. Guess I will either live with it for now or send it off to Becker.
