Harmon Kardon Radio Problem
I have a 2003 E500 2300miles... LOVE the car, however one problem.... I got the upgraded radio system and indash cd, love it, until yesterday, It started to just shut off on its own (display and sound) and now is completely shut down, when i start car up, if i have the speedo display set to the audio screen, it says
audio please wait,
then after 2 minutes it says
audio
....
Thats it, main radio dispay is blank, no sounds or anything...
Called dealer and they stated that they have seen this before, once or twice, possible software issue, and they aren't sure if they have to exchange the head unit or not... I am going to be travelling so can't bring it in until 7/7
net net, has anyone else had this issue, if so what was the problem?
Only good news, is I have no excuse to listen to the sweet music of the V8
audio please wait,
then after 2 minutes it says
audio

kellersman,
Call your dealer and schdule an appointment for
replacing your audio gateway and updating the software.

Someone posted a reset method, as I recall you remove fuse #6 from the trunk fuse panel, then reinsert. Still, see your dealer but this may work for you.
