2001 CLK 430 Issues

Has anyone had any problems with their integrated Stereo/phone system. We have had instances where the display says "No CD Changer" when the CD cartridge was actually installed. Sometimes the voice activated phone system does not function. Sometimes the unit get stuck in radio mode and refuses to switch over to CD or phone.
Other than that the rear sunshade has been replaced twice and it still does not retract properly.
The power windows have also acted up at times when you use the one touch feature, the window goes all the way up and then retractsback a few inches.

Thanks.

These are all normal errors that you will experience sometimes for no apparent reason. The radio/cd/command problems usually go away by turning off the car and turning it back on. The window problems will go away (unless it's a problem with the motor) by doing the following:

1. Hold down the window button 1 click until it reaches the bottom.
2. Press it in to the 2nd click, and hold it for 7 seconds.
3. Repeat the instructions for raising the window.
4. Your automatic window function should be restored. If not, go to the dealer.
