Does the W213 have fiber optic wiring for the audio system?
I had a Mercedes S430. One of my problems was the fiber optic loop system that Mercedes used at the time. Does Mercedes still use fiber optic wiring with the audio in the W213? Comand or MBUX systems? Anyone that experienced the fiber optic system is aware its a pain system.

My 2004 E320 wagon had it, and I never had any problem with the fibre optic cables, and that includes me retrofitting the COMAND unit, CD changer (a few times) and also adding the NAV drive in the back. And I am anything but a gear-head.
