Hi-

I'm going crazy as the stereo in my '99 C280 has been malfunctioning ever since installing a new battery a couple of weeks back. Basically, it started out where the buttons would only work part of the time for no apparent reason. After installing the battery, I did have to enter the code which I obtained from the dealer where the car was originally bought. Now, the buttons haven't worked at all in about four days (by far the longest amount of time yet) and it's stuck on a terribly annoying weather station. If anyone could shed some light on what this problem could be it would be much appreciated. Also, does anyone know of someone they'd recommend in Orange County, CA who might be capable of fixing this for me?

Thanks-



Jay

 

Try disconnect the negative ground on the battery for 30 minutes. Then reset all the functions, plus follow the direction to reset the radio, if that doesn't work then back to the dealer.
