I feel your pain, Had the same problem for over a year b4 I figured out what was wrong.

you need to remove the bose " Audio Pilot" microphone from yuor car. it measures interior ambient sound and adjusts the sound level to compensate.

get your manual out and look in the section for " closing sunroof manually"
it'll give you instructions to remove the plastic cover containing the SOS button. once removed on the passesger side toward the front of the car about 2 inches in there is a small microphone. about the size of a quarter, disconnect it and your done.

i have a 2004 CLK 500. my car had it. I don't really have any options other than Xenon and sunroof.

I do run my subs pretty high. that might be why it "reacted" for me.

Thats a perfect location for the aftermarket HU hands-free mic to go. Thanks for the info Masters.
