Fix the Command problem with a used Amplifier !

Hi All,

Just want to share a experience that you guys may have the same problem in the future!

Recently when I drove my 05 S600 ( weekend car only), press the Audio and it show "Can not find CD" or "Can not find CD in CD changer" or "NO Navigation system", CD changer may try to play a CD, but no sound from the speaker. then the system will turn off itself ! Drive 30 min to the market and when I drove back to my house, the system will work normally !
Later on the system will not come back even I drove for more than one hour. Sounds like it was getting worse and worse. My rear speaker make some noise even when the system is off !

Use the Star to scan any code, the Tele-Aid had problem and it also can not go though the Audio system. So I by pass the Tele-Aid module ( rear seat at passenger side) by using a fiber optical plug from eBay. I also got a used Bose Amplifier ($150 shipped) from eBay and replace the bad one on my car.

Now everything work fine and I am try to fix the bad amplifier by sending it to a company at San Jose, CA for repair. Since the amplifier I got from eBay was one year order than my amplifier on my car, so it may go bad at any time
