Help! Problems with the radio's w212 frequency

[martinesscee]

The E350 W212 model from 2012.
I am in urgent need of guidance.
The radio system, namely the NTG4.5 model, installed in my W212 vehicle has ceased to function.
The audio equipment was examined at a nearby audio establishment, which concluded that it is irreparable, but I personally find this assertion challenging to accept. Subsequently, I acquired a pre-owned device, only to discover that it cannot be programmed to function with my car.
Out of a sense of urgency, I made an inquiry about the acquisition of a new unit from Mercedes. Subsequently, I received a quotation amounting to £2780.80, accompanied by an estimated waiting period of two months for the procurement of necessary components.
What course of action should I pursue?In this communication, I would like to express my desire to request your assistance in rewriting my May I request a modification to my vehicle?
Could someone provide a suggestion for a potential course of action?
Has anybody successfully installed a double din unit with the equipment shown in the photograph?

I would really appreciate any guidance or recommendations as I find myself in a situation where my radio is no longer functioning. I am certain that I am not the only one experiencing this issue and would be grateful for any insights or suggestions.

Hello, I have resolved the issue.
I purchased a pre-owned item from the online marketplace eBay, but, I had difficulties in programming it to align with the vehicle's specifications.
As a last recourse, I initiated communication with MB in order to request a code; nevertheless, their assistance proved to be unproductive.
Subsequently, I inquired about the procurement of a substitute component from the authorised dealership of MB.
The quoted price was £2800 plus value-added tax (VAT). Ultimately, I chose to proceed with the conversion kit that was previously shown in this discussion.
The pioneer SPH-DA230DAB has been successfully installed and is functioning excellently.
The kit has a superior fit that surpasses first expectations, while also presenting a refined and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The whole cost of the bill amounted to £620. Given that this was the only viable choice, I am rather content with the outcome. Additionally, I now own DAB radio and Android car play navigation features.
The process of finding help online has proven to be challenging and frustrating.

This development is quite positive. It seems that you have not before encountered the concept of DAB. If it is agreeable to the individual, it would be appreciated if a visual representation, such as a photograph, could be provided.

I am very amazed with the level of conformity shown by the fit. Initially, I had the expectation that it would possess a certain degree of inelegance. However, given the absence of any other options, I find myself experiencing a sense of partial alleviation.
The 2012 E class model did not come equipped with DAB technology.

[DreamWeaver]

This material is very commendable and is expected to result in several satisfying driving experiences.

can you confirm the absence of DAB in your E class? I would like to mention that my S212 from early 2012 does indeed has DAB.
Following my purchase in 2018, I proceeded to have the vehicle fitted with a dashcam at Comand online. Additionally, the technicians at Comand online suggested a software update for the Command system.
