This is my first post here, so i hope it is in the right place
I have a 2005 300c, with a 6 cd-changer. It stopped swallowing CD's so i decided to replace it with something bigger and better.
I read around, and it seemed like replacing the headunit was easy - even with NAV unit. All i had to do was to find a new dashboard cover for the center console. So i did. Bought an aftermarket headunit with NAV, SD, dvd etc etc. and canbus adapter.
But it Works like crap. When changing between tripmeter etc. it changes radio channel as well.
So i decided to go with the REC NAV unit instead (i hope i am correct here). So i found one on ebay with code and should be in working order.
After installing it, it does rev up the cd-drives and the changer part -like som kind of self-test, but the screen never comes on. The buttons are illuminated.
And everytime i get back to the car it has changed back from metric to miles.
Am i missing something? Or is the unit not in working condition. If i replace it with the original stereo or the "china-radio" everything goes back to normal.
Do i need to pair the radio with the car? Or is the antitheft part? And if so - how do i enter the codes ?
I really hope someone can help me, because right now i don't even have music.
best regards
