Mercedes w220 no sound from radio | Easy fix

Thank you! this was the best help from all the videos. Rusted CD player. Great Job

You are welcome, my friend! Glad was able to help You!

This saved me also...driving without music in this machine is no fun..thanks man🙌🏽

[@rastahomestead6097]

Welcome!

[@chucktaylor7380]

Just want to say Thank You for saving me also. I was just gifted a 2001 w220 S500 designo and the Bose stereo started acting up intermittently with "no cd changer" then after 200 mile trip, suddenly "magazine empty" and stereo worked for the rest of THAT day. Then "no cd changer", even though I have a few more of the fiber optic cables (phone, navigation) in my vehicle your TRICK worked for me perfectly! Now I use a FM transmitter in the cig lighter with a USB loaded with MP3's and Bluetooth from Amazon and it is totally modernized and sounds GREAT! Thanks! Plus, I can always get a rebuilt cd changer and put everything back to original!

[@rastahomestead6097]

Welcome. Glad it has helped You.

Hey i have a c280, the gears were catching a few times then all of a sudden one morning i started it and when i went to leave the gear shift wouldn't move like it was stuck. The battery light came on that week also, then ilafter it sit that day i had to jump it off to start it back up. Could it be the battery causing the gears not to ahift ?

[@ryandiluccia9175]

Does the circuit have to be completed if the cd player got removed by someone previous to me? Is that why im not getting sound? I see a plug ik guessing for the cd changer but no cd changer in sight! Mine is a w202 94

Wow 😲 it worked I forget I was electrician lol 😂 thanks so much it was really rewarding

Thx for this video man i work tomorrow to see if it works. I have also the same problem no sound anymore but i have the bose system do you have it also?

[@rastahomestead6097]

Yes, same.

[@ThEDIPPA1]

I checked to see if the automated voice would say something when i pull the phone lever on the steering wheel and nothing. Do you think it’s my phone module? I have a 2002 cl55 and after a heavy storm yesterday I have no sound. Will this process work on my car?

[@rastahomestead6097]

It should work the same. First of all check out Your trunk, and what components do You have there. I believe some of it were flooded, and fried.

[@rocketshop4529]

Great job thank you!

[@yearight1800]

Nice my sound went out 3 days ago any chance this will work on 2008 s550?

[@rastahomestead6097]

In W221 cd changer is i front, so it can not be the same problem. But I guess it's the same optical wire loop system. So all You have to do is to find faulty component. Have You checked the fuses?

[@yearight1800]

Rasta Homestead that’s Oh ok. That is what I was checking to see. Maybe if it’s the radio fuses or the sound system fuses.

[@rastahomestead6097]

[@rastahomestead6097]

Do You get power to all components? Amp, telephone, etc. If Yes, You have to eliminate defective component from optical loop.

Ok

hello this worked on my w220 but after weeks of raining still it messed up and sound does not come what can i do also ?

Maybe it fried amplifier this time. You have to fix drainage in the boot first.

Hi! Have You checked if Your cd changer is fried? If not, could be telephone module, or something as simple as fuse. What have You checked so far?

[@blueninja9188]

Yes the cd changer is fried

[@rastahomestead6097]

Check if power comes to Your cd changer. It is one of two cables that comes into CD changer. One is optical cable, another is power cable. It should be red or orange wire, and should give You 12V, when radio is on.

[@blueninja9188]

An the loose wire started smokin I’m guessing the amp got flooded too

[@rastahomestead6097]

@@blueninja9188 You have to take everything out of that compartment, clean it, and make drain plugs work again. If You skip that step, You will destroy components again, after repairing.
