Audio Stopped
Hey guys, I'm hoping you can provide some insight here. A couple weeks ago, I was driving my 07 S550 and listen to talk radio...as I got onto my driveway, I heard static for a quick second and then the sound turned off.
Now, I cannot use my bluetooth or listen to the radio. When I go to the radio option, it has the background image of the radio screen but no stations(numbers) show up.
I can use the bluetooth because the phone and everything is working but there is no sound so I cannot hear.
Basically no sound at all. I went into MB last week and the tech spent 3hrs trying to figure it out...changed battery, no luck.
Do you know if it's a tuner, amp or commad issue? The tech said it could be any one of the three. Anyone had this issue before?
What are the costs of the above? I can imagine it's steep. Please advise.

Check the Sirius tuner box in the trunk.
Symptoms sound like mine in regards to sound and display when I forgot to plug back in when re-assembling trunk.
Doesn't make since why everything else can't work while Sirius tuner is disconnected as you would think it's optional.
Good Luck.

Turned out to be the amp. Found a replacement on ebay. New is 1500. Used 700.
Fixed the issue and have had no problems since but having a weak battery could have caused it to go prematurely.

my issues was low battery. apparently our cars will turn off the convince features when battery level is low.
