first hi to everybody on forum
im new (almost) happy owner of w221 s350 2011
i just have this car for slightly over a week (private purchase so can't deal with seller about fault)
i was driving it few short trips in last few days most at day and motorway
tonite i was driving around city for couple hours with headlights/ aircon on etc
on some point radio cut off no sound then on display instead of list of radio station i have "device unavailable"
when i try use sat nav it works but is no sound, once i load cd or mp3 disc it read it load track list but no respond when i try to play track (looks like system stop it coz timer of track is on 0 position)
i tried reset command from command menu - no luck
also i make soft reset by hold "eject" button for 10 second and system reboot
mercedes screen show up then go to audio and again "device unavailable" - no luck again
i check it by my obd reader but no luck no codes at all
i don't know to much about past of car im not sure where to start looking for reason?
it was a bit weird coz it stops just like that.
i was reading it can be battery in boot?
or take off and put back on one of the fuses to clear memory?
or headunit fault but from my (im it technican) it looks like some sort of bug
system starts,boot ok, hard drive works (can be heard if is quiet in car engine off) it looks like it need hard reset etc
i'm hoping maybe someone can advise me something maybe someone had something like this coz i think it can be easy fix instead of going straight to MB garage and pay fortune? also i read few stories on other forum that MB dealership replace most parts in command and problems stay like before (but different problems than mine)
thanks in advance for your time and help
