Hello all.

New poster here - apologies if I've put this in the wrong place.

I've had a 2017 E-Class estate for 6 weeks, and the radio stopped working last week. The rest of the functions (media/sat nav) are also slow. It went into the local Mercedes dealer, and they ran the usual diagnostics and tried the software updates.

They were unable to fix it on the day, and said it was one of two things:

The DAB module - replacement cost £900 plus labour

The Head Unit - replacement cost £2300 plus labour

Am I out of order in thinking that a minimum of £1000 to fix a radio is daylight robbery?! Any ideas/suggestions gratefully recieved!

Hi and welcome :)

Sorry, I can't help with your problem :( Do you have a car audio specialist near you? might be worth a try.

This is typical of the maintenance ethos today which is to simply replace parts so it is no surprise that it would cost so much.
