How to reset radio ?
I know I'm an idiot , but I've been outwitted by my radio : I've entered the 5 digit code and pushed SC - but then CODE comes up flashing again , and if I try to re-enter anything it comes up wait . What am I doing wrong here ? 
I even called another dealer to verify that the code was correct after it failed to reset after a few attempts and I got the same # - unless for some reason the radio has been replaced or something ???

hmm I'd take the radio out and take it to the dealership and confirm the code # based on the serial # of the actual radio... it is possible that someone changed it and that's why the code does not work...

how do you find out what the radio code is? it's not in my owners manual, but could MB tell from VIN?

I got mine over the phone , but I doubt most dealers would do that for you - I offered to fax a copy of my reg. but the guy I spoke to said it wasn't necessary . Still haven't got the thing to work yet though , guess I need to pull it out to check the #'s .
