Smile 2005 SL500 Command Center not coming on
Aloha-
I hope someone can help with this. 2005 SL500 Command Center just quit .... nothing on the display. All fuses are good. I disconnected the rear battery to reset everything and still no Command Center. Am I missing something? Is there another way to diagnose this unit? The CD changer behind the seat seems to work, but the Command Center is blank.
