1992 300E Radio goes Dead
 

I have a weird issue with a newly aquired 92 W124. It has the original radio. 1st when I turned on the radio it flashed "wait" for about an hour.Then the word "code" appeared.I entered the code from the Mercedes benz code card included in the MB sales packet. Then the face plate just goes dead. I disconnect the cars battery and re-connect and the word"code" appears.I enter the code again and the radio goes dead again.Can any one help me with this issue? thanks in advance!

After you enter the code press another button, for example the Scan button. The radio should function immediately.

if that doesn't work spend 130 at crutchfield...and get yourself a new radio... you will be pleased. Just did it on a 94 cab.... took about 90 minutes to install... and I was slow and deliberate

See if this helps, If you have the bose with the 1432 radio, You have your hands full. I hope the previous poster speaks from experience.

crutchfield provides the wiring harness. ...included in the cost...

piece of cake....

as soon as the radio goes on our 140.... i will do the same..... no more cassette..which i have a bunch of classical tapes... but i have many of those on cd
