Post No audio after installing new battery

I recently got a new battery for my CLK55 and replaced it at Oreilly's. Since then there would be no sound coming from the speakers, even though Command is on and not muted. I can switch radio channels and between CD/radio/AUX, and I have tried plugging in my phone and CDs and there would still be no audio. I asked the guys at Oreilly's and they said the car might have a charging module that needs to be reset by MB? I only got the car recently so I am still getting familiar to it. Is this a known issue that I need to bring to the dealership?

I have also tried resetting everything by disconnecting the battery for 5+ min, but still same problem. Also since the replacement I can only adjust the headrest up but cannot power it down (not sure if relevant).

Thanks everybody!

My car: 2005 CLK55 AMG, the speakers are Harmon Kardon

Was your key in the ignition when they swapped the battery? Have you had an issues with the system before that?

I can't remember if the keys were in the ignition or not, and I did not have any issues with the system before changing the battery.

Leaving the keys in the ignition while changing the battery is a very bad idea. However, if the car starts, I don't think that's the problem.

Do COMAND units require a code after losing power? Other MB HUs do, and they won't produce any sound until the code is entered.

Yea I know some cars have a radio code so I called the MB dealership and they did gave me a code for my VIN. The weird thing is there is never a prompt to enter any code on Command and even after I disconnected the battery for 5 min and reconnected it, Command would start up just like normal, minus the sound part.

I have pulled my battery many times and never lost command. I am guessing fuse. I have seen the key left in do some weird things like fry the headlight ballasts.

I checked the fuse under the dash and it's still good. Is there another fuse box I should check?
