SLK320 Radio has no power
After the battery died, when jump-started, the car started but there is no power to the radio. It happened once before, but subsequently, the battery died again (due to forgetting to turn the headlights out overnight), and when jump-started, the power to the radio was restored. Any one? Any Ideas?

SLK320 Radio with NO POWER
As I have mentioned in my post, the radio does not have any power. How can one install or enter a code when there is no power. My friend, if you know something I don't know, I am all ears.

Probably just blew a fuse. There's a lot of damage one could cause jump starting an MB, they have very delicate electronics. Also, you can see if it's radio or harness by back probing the connector with a meter. Not sure of the connectors on the SLK as played with that radio, but if they are standard ISO connectos, then the A connector has pin 4 as the battery +12 and ground is pin 8.

Dead radio and MF 3910 CD-R
I have just replaced my radio with a CD10 MF-2910 CD-R so my original radio is up for grabs, perfect working condition and very clean. If you are interested please let me know.
On the subject of the new radio, I didn't feel like paying an extra $10 for the manual + the shipment cost from Germany so if anyone knows where I could get a scanned copy please let me know.

I pulled the radio out, disconnected power supply to the radio, pulled out all connections in the rear of the radio, plugged all back in, turned the radio on, and Viola! It is working, again. Thank you all for your help.
