Has anyone gotten this audio problem b4? Sometimes when I start my car, the CDC will not be recognized, the slot loader won't read a CD, and music won't play from FM/AM, but if i restart the car it works again... I think it looks like some electrical problem?


Also the slot loader randomly says.. "Wrong CD0" sometimes.. anyone getting this error?

I know why
My friend just got a 2005 C55 and he has had that problem also, he says that he talked to the dealer, and the dealer said that the cars computer sometimes needs to be restarted, and if the prolem occurs regularly then take it in to the dealer. If its occuring regularly then I highly recommend taking the car into the dealership.

My Command radio/nav system had major problems too. The dealer couldn't find anything, but said there was a software patch released recently, so last time it was in they flashed it & it's been OK since. I had the wonderful problem of when key was installed it came on full blast (white noise only) with no way to turn down the volume or shut it off!!!

I make a fast good guess, that happens to all car audios as the computer need to be refreshed
Read the user manual and find out they always have a procedure to reset the computer by pressing some buttons on the audio in a logical (secret) sequence.
