Can the Hardon Kardon bugs be fixed via warranty?

The offer I'm getting is really good, but it comes with the Harmon Kardon system. I want to take the offer, but I don't want the Harmon Kardon system if it's going to have irrepairable problems.

Has anyone had it fixed?

I believe there is a firmware flash for the amp that cures the problems

If anything happens to the stereo..I would reccomend driving to the dealership asap to show your S.A. Just don't turn off your car because sometimes it resolves the problem.

When my car went in for service A about a month ago, I asked about this, he said the issue has been resolved by my VIN # and the updated software is in all new cars. My car was built in November '04 so anything after that is OK.

Our E240 has the same problem as you described. But i usually hear the static in summer when i have my AC on...
I really think we have bought this car a way too early...

-It doesnt show the secret menu
-It used not have Logic 7 listed until I updated the APS 50
-It doesnt run so smooth in the low speed
and it doesnt option in the menu where you can set the side mirrow to bend in auto. ...


I really dont know what am I gonna with this car.... but can the car be flashed with newer firmware??
