Just bought an 05 E55!
Well as the title says, bought an 05 E55 AMG black on black.

Has a few aftermarket parts on it like rims and the brabus exhaust (which I know everyone hates haha)

The only real problem I'm having with it is that the radio will cut in and out about every minute or so, and does this with CD's as well. Not too sure what the problem might be so hopefully someone will be able to help me out!

Congrats on the purchase. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 6 tips.

Black e55s are slick. Couple tweaks and looks to be a nice ride.

Congrats, I just got one as well. I think your radio has the software conflict. Reflashing it seems to fix it.

I will see if I can find the tsb. My car was done at the dealer before I got it. He said he paid $250 to get it done, but it has worked perfect since I have owned it.
