Getting new Command unit installed
So I go to the dealer for my Scheduled service "c" on my 2005 E55 and end up leaving the car there for a week. They have replaced the IC thermostat, fixed a slightly bent rim, changed the oil, oiled the door hinges (most important), and are currently replacing the command head!
The reason they are replacing the Command head is because my AM radio stations no longer show up on the dash. Everything funtioned as normal when using the steering wheel audio controls, except the AM stations did not display. FM and Ipod displayed and worked fine. The dealer tried several other options to fix it and ended up just ordering a new head unit. Sheez! Glad the extended CPO waranty is covering that! I would not have done the fix for that if it were out of my pocket.
I should have the car back on Monday hopefully. The c350 loaner is getting old. Kinda like driving a dodge neon if you ask me. Although it is a good looking car in my opinion. It is just not the E55!
