07 Audio20 Headunit PROBLEM

My 2007 C280 4Matic has the Audio headunit. After a while of driving the headunit has a tendency of going blank. The sound stays on, even the LCD on the cluster with the radio station works, just the screen on the h/u just goes off.


Edit: Problem solved somehow.

No advice, also the face of the h/u get's really warm. Not even warm it's hot at times.

You know it's funny I almost let the car go and something came up then this. Probably a sign to get a double din or COMMAND.

he is referring to the Head Unit (his suggestion is to wait until the head unit completely dies; when it does, replace it with OEM HU).

Well I went cheap bought the XOVISION unit and i mean all if good but not like OEM of other highends ones you know what I mean...........I mean juts paid like $350 for the unit and it has everything percivable, but the radio reception reallly sucks, may be it is the compatability of the HU with the onboard Mercedes antenna that is causing the issue.............still have to striaghten out the power source connections, but nothing major.........I used the cheaper metra dash kit and it worked like charm had to dremel the outer frame for a better fit.........would you like to see dome fitment pics??? lemme know.........the nav unit has eveything in it, DVD, MP3, Rear view camera hook up, 2sd card slots one for the Nav disc and other for other data and stuff, blue tooth..........etc...

I just wanted to see the fitment in the stock location. When I do buy i'll get a Alpine or a Pioneer. If not I know someone selling a COMMAND unit for the w203, but I dont want to go through the hassle of wiring anntenna and what not by that time I probably won't have the car.
