MB 2011 GL450 device not available for radio
Following the battery going dead the radio will no longer work in my MB 2011 GL450. The command systems readout states device not available. I have the code for the radio but there is no indication that it needs to be entered or how to enter it. How do I reprogram the radio?

This will help you.
Next time try search. Thats how I found it.
Radio Error;device Unavailable
Found the problem the radio error. Checked all cable connection once again searching to see if any cables were disconnected including the fiber cables. When investigating the back seat behind the drivers seat, lifted the rear seat cushion and found the control module running with no power to the car and ignition off, key out. unplugged one cable to the box one at a time until the control module stopped running. waited several minutes, plugged the cable back on and turned on the ignition the radio worked fine. Seems to me that the module was causing this all along. the electrical ring was not working due to this problem. Hope this helps someone with this information if they encounter the same radio error.
