Head Unit and/or Speaker Problems
I have the original HU form the factory with the MB 6 disc changer installed after I got the car. I started getting some bass fluttering and static from the front speakers only last week and took it to the dealer. The tech cleaned and refitted the connections for the fibre optic cables and re-installed the software. It worked for a bit, but now I am getting some more static and it seems as if the tape drive is trying to engage - I do not have any cassettes. Has anyone else had similar problems? Does this sound like a HU problem or speaker problem? Thanks.

haven't heard of that problem before... a few times about the antenna and the such, but never about the tape deck
i don't know about you, but if after the 1st attempt at your MB dealer, my MB dealer would just swap out my HU with a new one.
Anything/everything i complain about, they just replace it with new units and i mean EVERYTHING

I had the front speakers replaced this past week. So far, no problems. As for the tape deck thing - I am not sure if I am just hearing things. Have not heard it since.
