I noticed that I may not be alone in suffering poor reception on the radio in the SLK R171.
Mine has been back to the dealer a couple of times because of loss of radio reception - typically, of all things, Radio 2 or 4 - as I drive down the M5 (say).
I explained that, when visiting Cornwall, I was lucky to get just ONE station, and that in places around Stratford-upon-Avon, where I live, the reception was very crackly/hissy. M-B replaced the entire aerial (base and antennae) but that did nothing, and they say that nothing shows up on STAR for the pre-amp.
What I want to find out is whether other owners of the 171 have had the problem - and ever managed to fix it!
Cheers, Phil
