im trying to find out what and why it has happend when changing the stereo any ideashttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...s/confused.gif
is it a case of resetting something?
its really annoying as only had car 3 days and everything apart from this is great,already in love with it(but dont tell the wife)

i`ve found the problem today,i had the dash out to clean the needles on the speedo and still no joy.
then i put the old becker stereo back in and guess what!! it works again the speedo and trip meterhttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...on_biggrin.gifhttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...on_biggrin.gifhttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...on_biggrin.gif
but i want a new stereo in the car so how do i do it anyone please helphttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...s/confused.gifhttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...s/confused.gif

The radio has a vehicle speed input to allow it to increase volume as the car goes faster.

Obviously that cable is not happy with whatever it was attached to on the other radio. The simplest way would be to identify the cable and not attach it.

thanks very much it makes sense a bit now,any idea what cable it would be

Looks like a Green and White wire on terminal #1 of the "A" connector.

is there a pic anywhere as the above wire is in the original harness that plugs into the stereo,and i dont want to cut the wrong one,:o thanks

all done thankshttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...icon_smile.gifhttp://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/im...icon_smile.gif
