MCS Radio Fading problem please help

Fading from mono to stereo, very annoying by the way. Everything looks plugged in fine. I will try and get some pictures up but I'm out of ideas at this point. I bought a new radio antenna amp and problem still happens.

Anyone have any advice because I want to keep my MCS if possible.

I have an '02 ML320 and my radio does the same thing.

After complaining to the shop tech at my local stealer (it was under warranty at the time), they claimed there was no fix for it. They simply explained that weaker FM signals will cause that to happen.

Several others have the same problem, but no fixes that I know of. One person posted a rumor that there was a firmware upgrade of some sort, but my dealer disavowed all knowledge....

Thats stupid they should recall the deck then. It seems to me that it would be a problem with the deck. Im wondering if I should just buy a new aftermarket deck and see if it stops. Ive dumped about $150 trying to fix this issue.
