Repair a Command unit?

[tinytim]

Hello All,

I have a 2001 E280 with Command - Sat Nav and CD only - but the CD / Sat Nav has stopped working leaving me with only a Radio. How can I get the system repaired? Does it have to go back to Merc (sounds expensive), or can someone else sort it out? A chap in Leicester has quoted me £500 to exchange it with a working version. This, too, sounds pricey.

Any ideas/recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

check with http://www.becker-trafficpro.co.uk/ see what they say.
Though the lens could be dirty (try a CD cleaner disc) the pick ups do go down, £15 plus fitting.

Thanks Malcolm,

I've tried a CD cleaner to no avail. What do you mean by "the pick ups do go down"?

Its the laser pick up, they are easy to change, they just unplug, the hardest bit is setting the thing up, focus,gain,offset,tracking and etc. Most MB outlets have a guy working from home to service this gear. Ask at your local.
they also do exchange units
