2004 ML350 No Audio from Bose in FM Mode

I have a 2004 ML 350 with a Bose Radio & Cassette player... It has phone, nav & WX band...

Only audio that works in AM, Weather, and Cassette...

I have seen on Youtube that there is a Chip that could be the problem & wanted to verify that here and also ask if anyone knows the Chip Part #.

According to a Youtube Post, it could be fixed with a $6 component if the proper tests are done... My wife would really like the radio & I would like to make it happen....

Here's link to fix post on youtube...


If anyone has any input, let me know... VIN is 4JGAB57E04A467833 Thanks!

Have you done the fiber optics blink test as shown by video provider?

You also ask for the part number of the "chip" but in the video the provider clearly holds up the chip with the part number visible and also verbally says the part number. What more do you need?

Sorry I didn't view video to point that guy read chip #... and NO, I have not taken radio out yet, to do 4X Blink Led Fiber test.. FYI the AM & WX radio functions work... Cassette works.... Just no FM Audio, so I was trying to verify if this was the chip that handled those functions. Sorry I missed the video detail.. At least now others might be assisted in this issue... Thanks for your Reply... FYI I have a # of Mercedes and right now my head is spinning with so many projects, a '95 S500 Coupe a '94 S500 Coupe, a '95 S600 V12 sedan with bucket back seats & a few S320's and E320s & 4 Matic wagons.. Lots going on & was moving too fast to see the video content...
