Got my 2003 C320 today!

Hey All,

I got my C320 today and I am loving it!...cept for my glove mounted CD player. I didn't get to test it out at the dealership cause I didn't have any CDs. For some reason when I play CDs in it, it has a lot of static but if I just use the radio, then it's fine. Obviously something is amiss with the CD player, if anyone could give me any help on it, i'd greatly appreciate it. I'll post some pics in a day or 2 when I get settled in at my new apartment.

Congrats on your new car, you'll love it.

As for the CD problem, it's most likely a pinched fiber optic cable. MB radios are all fibre optic. If these cables get pinched in any way, then they will be rendered useless.

It's probably the pinched Optic cable, but first, make sure the AUD/EXT setting is on other than "SPEECH." Check it while in CD mode. The AUD settings need to be set for each input device. Maybe the dealer forgot...

Oh, and congrats on your new C320!!!

Gene, why are you selling both of your Benzes? Including the one you just bought?

Howdy Vadim:
I get an employee discount (12 1/4 off msrp) and I am under agreement to not resale within the first year. Hopefully I can provide a buyer/ seller win-win situation with a ~ 10K mile Merc in great shape.
I'm looking for some direction on the extended warranty purchase. It is around $1500 for 1 additional year/ 100K mile warranty. Thus, my understanding thru my dealer, is that my buyer would have a 4yr/100K warranty and that this would be more attractive than a Starmark Merc. I will have to make this decision before Dec 8.
I'm sure some of you are much more knowledgeable than I am and I welcome any thoughts on this. Thanks
