The AGW(Audio Gateway Control) in my car is draining battery when the car is off? Has anyone else seen this problem? I just changed new main battery and aux batter and the very next day the battery was completely drained. After some diagnostic my friend a techician concluded that the AGW is the source of the leakage. Is this a faulty AGW? The part for this is in the $1k range. Without this unit I have no Audio and Navigation. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

And I'm pretty sure that if you bought a new one, the software would have to be downloaded into it which is done with the factory diags tool (SDS) so this eliminates you doing a DIY repair. You have two choices, the dealer of an indy that has the SDS (which is current). The MBCA website has a thread with indies from most states. Good luck.

Paulv,

My friends work for Mercedes dealership as a service technician. Are you saying if he download the new software for the AGW it might resolve the problem? I think the AGW was the problem why the initial battery went bad.
