If the radio would appear to be broken i would recommend to get android stereo system instead of fixing the original. This android system is much better, more functions and it is more modern than the original. There are stereos like this which are made to fit the specific car dash and does not differ much from the original. And it is cheaper as well. I have got one myself, i have R class merc, but i am sure there are units for your model as well.
If you would consider it i can look for the link to these stereos.

When i fitted the unit it just was just plug and play. Did not have to worry about any reprogramming.
