Be more specific...is there power to the HU? Is there any static or a humming noise from the speakers? What body work did they do? They could have inadvertantly disconnected the cables if they were working behind the trim.

There is power to the sterio, but I'm getting nothing through any of the speakers. You can turn it on to a station, but there is no sound, no humming, no voltage, to any of the four speakers, or the small doors speakers.
Where should I start looking?

Sounds like the same symptoms as when I installed my Audio 10. I would have to turn on and off the car and the radio several times to find the magic combo to get sound, even though the HU seemed to be working perfectly. Could be that your mechanic did something that will require the fiber optic communications to be re-initialized.

Jim, Do I need to take it into the dealer to have this done?

That's where I went. I don't know if outside shops can get the MB computers to do this. Maybe someone else can answer that.

id go to the dealer and just tell them they stopped working. less detail possible will save you money and make them pay for it because its under warranty. but sounds as though maybe the doors were disassembled and the wire connections could be loose. just take it to the dealer and don't say anything. im experienced in this regard.
