Radio navigation problem - finds frequencies after a good few minutes
Hi,
I own a W204 C200 from 2008 and since I bought the car I have a problem with navigation, more precisely with the radio.
The problem is that after I turn on the navigation (the car is on after a good few hours or even the 2nd day), the radio does not find my frequencies at all and automatically does not go to any frequency (only that buzzing characteristic of the lack of signal is heard). After a good few minutes they start finding the frequencies one by one. After a good few minutes all the frequencies are found and then everything is ok, then after some hours (when I don't use the car) or the 2nd day the radio does the same thing again.
I have noticed that when the navigation is on and I open the front right passenger door, the navigation turns off and on by itself.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you know any solution? Or is the navigation gone and the car requires a new one?
Wonder if it may be a connection issue in the wiring harness somewhere. From diagrams it looks like the radio wiring harness goes from the front down the passenger side to the back of the car. Maybe the harness is in the door sill? Opening/closing the door messes with the connection.
Are the radio station pre-sets still saved? Not sure if you mean the pre-sets arent showing, or if it just takes awhile for the radio station to come in? Maybe an issue with the antenna connection.

hi, thanks for your reply!
as far as I have noticed the presets are not saved, every time I turn on the radio and have this problem I have no preset frequency!
it is strange that the navigation finds its own frequencies after a few minutes. i think it's a navigation problem. may?
