Help,No Phone, Voice, CD



'02 Clk430 w/Euro COMAND

Recently lost my CD changer, phone & Voice control, I installed COMAND (SteveNL's) last summer...no problems, everything was working well.

Yesterday, the dash's display showed NO Phone, and COMAND shows NO CD Changer, also nothing from Voice control.

Checked fuses for Comand and phone (front & rear)...all OK.
Checked Fiber Optic cable behind COMAND...seems to be in tightly.

Since these systems appear to be "inter-connected"...can someone steer me in the right direction of what to check next??

The auto is still under Warranty...If I can't find the problem myself...Should I re-install the orig. radio before returning the car to the dealer? I'm afraid they'll blame the problem on the COMAND install.

Thanks for any input.

did you check the black electrical box located in the trunk, on driver side (quarter panel, not on the floor) behind the carpets maybe the connection was loose because mine have the same problems

Thanks for the reply Carl'

Turned out to be a bad fuse #7 in the box under the hood...funny thing is fuse appeared to be good, but when I replaced it with another, the problem disappeared. Upon checking it with a VOM it showed no continuity, this is the second time this type of fuse has appeared good, but tested bad.
