procedure - With the power on and SAFE showing on the display, press and hold the MODE and SCAN button together until SAFE changes to 1000. Release the buttons and using the first four station buttons enter the radio code.
Use button #1 to change the 1 to the correct code, pressing once will change to 2 twice to 3 etc
Use button number 2 to change the next number etc.
When you have entered the correct code; press and hold the SCAN and MODE buttons together until code disappears and radio comes on.
The key is in knowing the radio security code. It is a four digit number normally in the manual portfolio pack. Mine is on a small piece of paper marked "Radio Information" from the Mfg. Other people have posted that they have found this information in their manual, or on the door post. Others actually mention it being on the radio chasis, yet that would negate the idea of securing the radio from theft. The last choice is to contact the dealer with the VIN or the radio serial number.

∙ 16y agoi have the code for the radio reset but i dont know how can you tell me
call your orig dealer and ask for the radio code if you dont have it i think the radio gives you 2 or 3 attemtps to input the radio code, if you dont get it right it will lock you out....if that happens, unhook car's battery and reconnect ...when you turn on the radio, you will then be prompted to enter the radio code. hope this helps
If you dont have a card with your drivers handbook you have to go to your dealer with serial # to get it
If you dont have your code you can pull out the radio get the numbers on the side or top then call the service dept. at an new car dealer.
Check your owners manual for the correct way to reset the radio. If you dont have one, check the Related Link below.
go to the dealer
If you dont have the stiker in your oners manule that has the coad.You will need to get the sierial number off the radio and call the deeler to get it.
OBD2 scan tool. i dont know
I had a similar problem when I purchased a second hand stereo for my Jag but the code that was given was wrong. I contacted a car audio firm and they decoded the radio for me at a cost of around
disconect the earth off the battery for 30 mins ( DONT FORGET TO FIND THE CODE FOR YOUR RADIO IF IT NEEDS ONE , BEFORE YOU DISCONECT THE BATTERY )
Did you look under the ashtray for the code. That's usually where the code is located.
It will have to reset automatically. You would first need to obtain the code for the restart process. Im guessing you dont have it. Call--1800-mercedes
