I have 2015 W205 C300 4Matic. This happened to me. Cannot use any audio function, and sometimes backup camera doesn't display. Also, if I select Radio, it locks climate control and entire system for about 30-seconds. My dealer is offering to do the temporary fix for me via service appointment. MB after 7-days still doesn't have permanent fix. Why would it take so long?

So the issue is Sirius XM released a over the air software update, and for some reason in Audio 20 Units, the new software messes with the audio 20 software. And Benz is currently trying to expedite a patch for it. Currently most dealers are offering a temporary patch that gives access back to most functions, but doesn't truely fix the issue.

Was just going to make a thread on this! Just went by my dealer (literally 25 minutes ago) and told me that Mercedes is still trying to get a software update that'll fix this. ETA for that update apparently is next week or two weeks. I'm going back April 9th to get this addressed. I'll keep ya guys posted on that.

My touchpad stopped working at some point during my drive last week, so hopefully this will fix it. I'll also get my Nav updated to the latest software, even though people hate it for some reason?

Very straight forward! Took me less than 10 minutes start to finish. Absolutely everything other than the Sirius worked IMMEDIATELY.

Hi there,
I attempted the fix earlier in the parking lot at work. I taped the fiber optics wires end to end with tape and reinforced them inside a straw.

Everything immediately started working, but had no volume.

What did I do wrong?
