phone issue?

Does anybody have a fix to the echo problem with the cell phone? I know it has been awhile since our last posts? I have an appt on Monday to have them take a second look at the phone. All I know it has on and off on my cell phone.

My problem with the phone disconnecting from the unit was fixed by dealer replacing the phone but I still experience the echo occasionally. When I mentioned this to the service guy, he seemed to indicate this was common. I'm just happy to have the phone now available when I want to use it.

I love the "this is common" answer I see from a lot of posters of the many interesting M-B issues. I've been on the wrong end of that answer as well, which just makes me scratch my head. It really is just one of those "I don't know, but I don't want to tell you that I don't know, so I'm just gonna say 'it's a common thing with Mercedes'."

Give me a break

My car is in the shop today for the phone. I was able to get the service receptionist to say she hears the echo and tell my service advisor so he believes me.

We'll see what they say.

I stopped by the dealership yesterday. They said they replaced 1 part for the stereo/phone and it seemed to make the ehco better. But he said is still echos at a higher volume. They kept the car overnight to replace a bracket for my parktronics and they said they wanted to test the phone out again today. When I find out more and the part number they replaced, I will let everybody know. I don't know if this fixes the problem at all, or their way of trying to say, "at least we changed something this(2nd) time you brought your car in"

AMGB,

Do you still have the echo problem after the work the dealer did?
