Anyone else's W216's radio stop working?

Has been happening to my 2008 CL65 for the last 2 months. The command unit operates as normal, navigation works, etc. But the radio intermittently does not work, all the preset stations are on blank when I start the car. But when 1 out of 10 times the radio does come on when I start the car or starts after some driving. Supposedly it's a unit in the car that costs thousands to fix but just wondering if this was a common known issue.

Mine went out about 2 years ago, it turned out to be the amplifier in the trunk. Recently I had water come into the passenger footwell because of some drain that was blocked near the windshield, now my radio is out again... So finicky
