the whole rear end is different & what's up with that wanna-be spoiler ?

it looks photo-shopped to me.

Must have been another Mercedes cost-cutting initiative.

no i never saw that. but the rear looks kinda like a 202, the side fender indicators remind me of the 202's as well. look at how skinny the mirrors are. it doesnt look like a next generation to me.

id say photoshop because how similar the roof, door handles and rear windows are to the actual CL203.

I think this might be a really old picture; maybe concept type photos based on W202 design. This pic was in one of the "other" MB forums gallery page.

i was thinking along the same lines. possibly a prototype based on the W202 or a concept before the actual CL203. who knows.

Did you ever get your problem fixed? I'm having the same problem and they can't figure out what it is. They just ordered a new head unit hoping that would fix the problem.

Not yet, I had an appointment for last friday, but the armrest that they need to replace didn't come in yet, so I figured that I might as well have it all done at once instead of coming in multiple days. Hopefully by the end of this week.

Apparently, this is also happening in the C55 as well: https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/83267-c55-weird-audio-problem.html

Let me know what happens! And I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as well. Thanks.

05 C230K
The exact same problem w/ the H/K system happened to my c230 sedan the night i got my car. I had all ur symptoms and my stereo display stays on even with the engine switched off. Thought I had gotten a lemon, but by next morning it was working fine again. I took it to the dealer, and after 2 days w/ a loaner they told me the amp needs to be replaced. However, they told me that it will be 2 weeks before they can get the new amp, and now my car is 2300K in milage. Never heard from fletcher jones again and my 3K Courtesy checkup is due soon.

The upside is that my sound system has been working fine ever since that night. H/K definitely have problems, almost every problem w/ the stereo i've seen on this forum has happened to me (static from the front left speaker, static from the center speaker). Wut is more strange is that all these problems go away by the next day for me.

I just took my car in today for my HK sound system as well. It ate one of my CD's. The service advisor popped it out the first time he pushed eject...in front of myface haha. How weird is that? My sound system would also blast static, but that problem has not returned yet. They couldn't find anything wrong with my '05 230K. Very strange.

I brought it in today, and they found NOTHING! No fault codes, nothing. They said they reset the computer, and that's it...

They told me the same thing. I haven't had any problems since it originally started acting up. They ordered me a new deck but I'm not sure I want them putting it in. I don't have any problems now and nothing rattles so I don't want to try and fix something that ain't broke!

whoa. that's scary. It's been 2 days since i got my car and the stereo still works but who knows when the problem you are having will affect my stereo.

a friend of mine had the same problem you're having too (another C320wz) except that it went away by itself.
