MB Sprinter audio "system" and more
I'd agree with the previous comment that the Sprinter audio "system" is a piece of crap. The Nav system--why bother? Phone/BlueTooth--nah, too much road noise to hear or be heard. Backup camera--well, I guess it's got some use.
I'm not a fan of Satellite radio, but have used my iPhone plugged into the USB port connected to the speaker system (mediocre, and I'm no audiophile). That worked until lately--and my iPhone music no longer works through this system. I did troubleshoot, trying different cable, and it worked for a while then not. Same with using my iPad. Thought it was an Apple issue, but evidently not.
Tried finding a solution via the MB manuals, useless. Online led me back to SMB.
Now what? I've rigged my iPad, Bose speaker so I have music, but aftermarket? That's insane!
Re: feedback on other non-audio issues...tires sucked, and the "alignment" had my tires, and a set of replacements with alignment done at Boerne MB, totally worn within a few thousand miles. Maybe 4 at most. Had an alignment and new set of front tires done by non-MB and it was better, but steering issue made me wonder about something else. A trusted diesel mechanic/friend discovered my tie rods were shot, which caused the 3rd round of worn-out front tires. They replaced tie rods, 2 front tires (Kuhmo) and I've been good, better steering and no unusual tire wear -- about 10k miles so far.
Don't get me started on the "check engine" light, or the cruise control.
I could go on and on...
Hey, SMB, when people say they go to cold weather areas, don't give them such crappy plastic plumbing. I've spent over $1,000 on replacement pumps and leaky pipes.
I'll stop now.
