Alright,

So I've searched and read almost every thread on this common PROD problem. I have all the symptoms. I turn my car on, my radio turns on (but no sound comes out of the speakers) and then PROD comes across the screen. So after a week of not having a radio, i took it to a car audio place. They told me that they checked every connection, battery, amp everything and it all seemed good. They then told me that I need to get the code for the radio at the dealership and i'd be good to go.

Got the code. But how to type it in? Tried everything, finally went to a local mechanic who knows a good amount about this sort of thing. He says it's not an "lock" code for the stereo, it's a problem with the stereo.

Read everything on MBWorld and there really isn't a clear answer as to what the problem is. Here's my question,

If I go to crutchfield and buy a receiver like http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KWAV...0.html?tp=5684

is that going to fix my problem, or am i simply going to have a great looking stereo that isn't ever going to work.

Thanks

I had this issue at one point and fixed it by resetting the fuse on the back of the radio.

How do I do that? Remove the radio and then...?

There's a thread on how to remove the radio in the diy thread. There's a fuse on back, remove and install new one just like in the fuse box.

2002 C240, sorry. And I jsut got it back from the shop. Needs new back rotors, back pads, a transmission, and more.

Looks like it's RIP to my 2002 C240 afterall. I appreciate all the help.

Did you take it to a stealer? I wouldn't be so quick to say it's finished. Maybe a second opinion is called for. It sounds a little suspicious when somebody is complaining about a radio and a shop says you need a new tranny and rear brakes (unless there's something you haven't told us)!

Whatever it is, good luck with it!

Well, The Transmission has been acting wierd, so i got the error code, called mercedes and they gave me the recco of replacing the transmission so sorta.

And yeah, the rear rotors and pads have been on there last leg for a while.
