unfortunately the sam[rear]will be your problem.these units are relatively cheap from benz[you get what would normally be about 600 worth of electronics for about half].you would have had to hook up a battery jump box to prevent this and it still may have gone belly up down the road.the good news is that these units are plug and play.
