My car randomly calls SOS and nav/music shuts off!!
Last few days my car decides to call SOS emergency call randomly.
Nav screen and music will shut off every ten min for a few seconds.
Electronic trunk closer broke few days ago, have to slam trunk two or three times da faq.
The emergency call pisses me off bigtime. It's loud and noway to end the call for five minutes.
Just as I'm loading the cv3's in the car it calls SOS again.
I have just about had it, need my music and not SOS when I'm ballin like outta control on these cv3s.
Makes a random beep sound here and there too.
Help!

Some say you can take the SOS out of the loop, some say you cannot without triggering an airbag light. Looks on Benzworld, there is a pretty long thread there on this subject. Also, have you ever had your voltage regulator replaced? THere was a campaign on these, and I think that may be related....

nav and radio cutting off
i didnt have the sos calling going on but when my 2005 e55 did the nav and radio or cd shut off randomly, 1 component in the fiberoptic loop was malfunctioning. weird that it was the sirius sat radio b/c i didnt even have a subscription and i never turned it on??? so when i had my issue went to mb and after about $1k, finally came to the conclusion that the sirius sat radio was inoperable. i replaced many components but that 1 trying to solve it myself and finally gave up. but whenever a component in your fiberoptic loop is/has a short or not communicating properly, this will undoubtly shut off the entire system. almost make the comand unit looks like its dead but dont buy a damn thing until you can get it someone and have them das/sas it and should be able to tell you which component is causing the cutoff. hope this helps!

definitely agree!
yeah i hope its not the trunk thing cutting wires. man the brain of the whole operation called the agw (audio gatewate module) rests in the trunk on the drivers side and skatch is right, there are tons of wires back on that side with the nav, and agw, which all the wires from the stereo, sirius, bluetooth, phone, etc any and all communications in regards to radio/phone/hands free voice etc all connects to this module. yeah i replaced it too thinking it had overheated but again, it was just 1 simple component. dont let them just tell you that you need a new agw either, b/c that is the first thing they will tell you. tell them to put a "new" one in and if all checks out on your test drive then and only then fork out $1k for the labor and parts fee for just that 1 component. that module alone will take over an hour to get to, its stuck back inside this little corner, pita!! why merc do things like this!! anyway, you should be able to get to the culprit soon enough. have a nice vacation and good luck with the fix.

My car just started showing "SOS malfunction visit workshop" or something like that. Nothing happens though except that showing in the center display and I just hit the arrow on wheel to get out of it. It did it like 4 times the past 2 days.

Mine does the same and it seems to do this after it rains heavily.
Rains > Get the SOS Malfunction visit workshop > few days later (no rain) the warning goes away.
Nothing in my trunk appears wet or damp.

Now when it rains at that same exact spot water will pass threw and channel down threw the trunk and out from under the license plate area.
I'll bet you have some cut up wires on there my friend.

Take apart the plastic on the left hindge in the trunk while its opened.the plastic pops off and you will see near the end that when the trunk closes it crimps a crap load of wires.
