My 2012 E350 Mercedes Radio Stop working on me. So i went online and order me a used Radio Just like the one i had in my car. when i Received it, the radio had a code on it showing Anti theft Protection Activated. Service Required. so i called Northlake to speak with a service advisor about my situation. after explaining to the advisor about the anti theft situation, he told me that i needed to purchase a new radio from them, because the used radio would not work, because it had to have the same serial number as my car in order for it to work. i call parts dept to price a new radio, then he gave me a Quote of 5000.00 for a radio, also told me that no other radio would work for my car. so i called Independent Mercedes Benz and explain to them what was going on with my radio in my car. made me appointment and they reprogrammed my radio and removed the anti theft code. that radio i bought online for my car is working fine, thanks to Mercedes on independent. its sad how a dealership can tell you ,That its impossible for you to use a aftermarket radio work in your car which Wasnt true to get you to purchased a 5000 dollar radio.
