Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 radio, navigation and amplifier repair covers, among others, two factory units from this model: Comand NTG4.5 and NTG5.1 Audio 20 (Panasonic). We check each one after it has been removed from the car.
NTG4.5 or Audio 20 – which unit is in your car?
Audio 20 in the NTG5.1 version was fitted in the B-Class cars from 2015–2019. On its label, in the Model field, you will see NTG5*1 CD or NTG5*1 BASE. NTG4.5 units came from several factories – Melco, Harman Becker and Matsushita – and you do not need to identify the manufacturer. A photo of the label and the front of the unit is enough.
How can you tell the module is faulty?
In NTG4.5, signs of a problem with the unit may include:
- no response to the power button, a black screen and silence from the speakers,
- repeated resetting back to the logo,
- freezing and no response to the buttons,
- crackling in the speakers, immediately after start-up or after some time.
In Audio 20, a common sign of the reported faults is fan noise with a black screen; the unit does not switch on or, after the logo appears, restarts in a loop.
What do we establish after receiving the unit?
We inspect the removed module, without the car, and confirm the exact repair price. An earlier quote, prepared from photos and a description of the fault, is only approximate. We start the repair after your approval. We do not repair Android replacements fitted instead of the factory unit.
Frequently asked questions and answers
Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 radio, navigation and amplifier repair: enquiry, module dispatch and quote.
How do I check which factory-fitted unit Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 has?
The label on the unit casing settles it. You do not need to read the markings or identify the manufacturer; a photo of the label and the front is enough, and we will identify the unit ourselves.
The radio in the Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 will not switch on at all – is it repairable?
A black screen and no response to the power button are symptoms that may indicate a fault inside the factory unit. We confirm this after checking the removed module.
There is crackling in the speakers in the Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 model – what should I report?
Please write whether the crackling appears straight after start-up or after some time, and attach a photo of the unit and the label. Based on that, we will determine which module to send.
Is the version without navigation from the Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 model repaired as well?
Yes. We work on factory-fitted units both with navigation and without it. We identify the unit version from the photo of the label that you attach to the enquiry.
How do I deliver the module from the Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 model to the workshop?
After accepting the initial quote, send the removed unit by courier, or deliver it by prior arrangement. We do not need the car, only the module is checked.
