One problem related to radio/tape cd player has been reported for the 1999 Mercedes Benz 280. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Cd readout is "no cd changer" and will not play. Also, sometimes there is a normal readout but no sound on the cd or the phone. Have had to dealer about six times, but they claim they cannot duplicate the problem. Have spoken to manufacturer, who referred me back to dealer.
