If the correct anti-theft code has not been entered 
after nine separate attempts and therefore after two 
10-minute wait intervals- the radio will lock for 24 
hours to prevent any further receding attempts. The 
radio must be left on with the ignition key in position 
1 during this period in order for it to reenter the 
code mode. 
 
Code cards should not be stored in the glove 
compartment. During vehicle service at an 
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, we recommend 
that you leave one card with your service advisor. 
Thus, if the battery is disconnected, the Service 
Advisor can recode the radio before the car is 
returned to you. 
 
If you have difficulty reprogramming the radio or if 
the reprogramming function fails to operate, please 
contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
