Greetings everyone
From 2012, I own a C180 AMG Sport. I think it includes the Beker maps and the HK audio. Just about a month ago, the entire system crashed while I was behind the wheel. I also didn't see any logo on the screen when I started the car. I have seen pre-owned units on eBay, but I can't tell you how bad it is. According to the local garage, it's dead except for checking the 10a fuse, which I will do just in case. The version I should have is the ntg 4.5 audio 20, it seems. Is it necessary to find one with HK as well, or are the speakers I already have and the HU identical?
I was also considering integrating Android Auto; however, I will require a functional factory HU to support these features.
