Earliest build date for 2014 E350

I was just wondering what the earliest build date would be for a 2014 E350? I just acquired a 2014 E350 with a build date of 9/2013. I thought that was pretty early and was wondering if anyone knew of a build date earlier than that for a 2014.

I bought a 2014 CPO a few months back. The "in service" date was 7/2013. I assume it was built shortly before that.

mixed up

I am confused : you're talking about amp frying smell and refering to satellite module ...

I am going to guess you may have audio amp issue, not satellite, right?

Lottery time...

let's play a lottery game!

We'll try to guess if your amplifier uses available chips or custom chip.

Give us a picture of the amp circuit board and/or the bottom side of your rear shelf.

1- Single amp > no go: Replace ! 😳
2- Woofer amp > 90% chance Repaireable! 😊

Let's see ...

Lucky!

Your pics show separate woofer amp, that means your main amp uses standard SGS-Thompson chips and 16V caps.

Open the main amp at your leasure until then keep it unplugged.

WASTED FRONT SPEAKER...

if the dual front speaker is cracking, it may be a bad SPEAKER dome and Amp still ok until 16V caps start leaking. Dome can be glued back in 5mn under 2¢
Have a look at the speaker tranducer to see if membrane is falling apart.

It's a dual speaker as originally noted by @Left Coast Geek The second coil is driven by voice from the mBrace module located in the trunk forward floor section. It will log a fault during replacement.

I have not fried mine... because I've reworked it ahead of getting the killer pop-pop-pops 😆

If your issue is limited to center front spk, have a look at it's diaphragm dome for it being loose.
Try to remove only one piece at the time to prevent confusion.

Have a look in the trunk area behind the left-side carpet or scan DLC port
