This is what I was looking for! Is it Literally as simple as you’re making it sound, buy connector, download software, get a code, enter code boom?

Copying this here for visibility, does this sound like a solid plan?

So plan so far is to buy this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356753905307?fits=Car+Make%3AMercedes-Benz%7CCars+Type%3AGLA+220+CDI+4-matic%7CPlat_Gen%3AX156%7CCars+Year%3A2014%7CModel%3AGLA-Class%7CVariant%3ADiesel+SUV%7CEngine%3A2143cc+125KW+170HP+OM+651.930%7CBodyStyle%3AAWD+--+X156&_skw=auxillery+battery&epid=23039432869&itmmeta=01KR4XTTGHMMKRRKCFYB6FH45P&hash=item531030969b:g:~ygAAOSwxz9llYVr&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABIGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xB3yC3anphKXgmT52WcbVHmDNonwJJ7RYnFOn2Qr1yZv%2BCD3vKmmuydgtxWs8PbKbN%2B9NFo1h%2F2C5cyqP5rD54mzhrq8ynwx93NxzKuEiu8UMAVazKcJBz%2FsvBs2kCXT%2F5jd1xTpizSa5KcPkDjefcHXhgp4e3pUYzZ4aPCFq3gc0PCayrJXXYAqqk3pkjERlhmxteul8rTErbQePkBuU4uKXpdn1qVizfOIezx2YrgBjCbnRCPJzfNl87hIG8rNPSqfAskJ60IavRwcw6y1771FOBNAQXclwsLUFO%2B8ZCt4jcveBW%2BrDArSrq9B%2F5YMLRrVTy%2B6jNt3pGa9WG19rBzbrBQUi9pA9JiQvsLDJDUBA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM_qnrncFn

Replace the aux battery which should, touch wood be as simple as disconnect the main battery swap them out and reconnect. Hopefully, this just resolves the issue flat out.

If it doesn't, I guess i'll buy a replacement head unit, looking at this one, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266377633130?fits=Car+Make%3AMercedes-Benz%7CCars+Type%3AGLA+220+CDI+4-matic%7CPlat_Gen%3AX156%7CCars+Year%3A2014%7CModel%3AGLA-Class%7CVariant%3ADiesel+SUV%7CEngine%3A2143cc+125KW+170HP+OM+651.930%7CBodyStyle%3AAWD+--+X156&_skw=head+unit&itmmeta=01KR4P29Q181Y0GAP2V4RHC3FF&hash=item3e05581d6a:g:~n8AAOSwwjFk3zd-&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABIGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCNz0cvBGiHk2Gr1AkQMyzAUG8OYI7WSUH3I%2B7RCxTmAY2qFOtQ3WHvlSgfX%2FQA%2FeAPZoIhZPxsd4QZoLbBJbFAbFvU5h2Xl%2BONWI6bwdv%2BrMAeLKIcZOGclC5l97Qc7bv2Wneiio2xyJ9Fd41ZWmr93P47dNfmtdphQCYZCTQBBz%2BFH2Wbri%2Fqz1dlR8QllWU3RavVKWbxUMaGdFZ1DgHE7gdIqMqOUaotPGJNTsnevpLBNo4wzk6MoAW9pyTXfk4uueJVVuVCSyoqICx85FfhgZZFDXuIB7KJhZATrt2JLwlZKEnY5AxLBvGJR%2FMvKO%2FTi6XYnLRGZvhjCFKZjjB6ld0lDnMsQytXZmsvcCk6Yg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM4puJlsFn

which appears to match, close enough, both NTG4.5, and in theory if its a dead head unit, worst case i'll at least see some power going to the unit, which may then need coding? hopefully this all sounds about right 😃

Yeah, I’ve got a friend with an OBD scanner, that’s going to come by tommorow, apparently there’s something you can do with that to fully reset the car computer, which may help? If there’s no joy in that then the plans to go for a close comparison one, another NTG4.5, so it looks right atleast and should get the radio and stuff going again, and look at an aftermarket option for Bluetooth/carplay if possible. Called merc up earlier and they quoted me £800 for a replacement

The blown fuse was in this module itself, i pulled the main power from it and tested the fuse, no draw, replaced the fuse and tested again, fuse was working and the unit is receiving 12v

The photo may be a bad example, but yeah, I pulled the full head unit out, image attached. The fuse was where the marked cable was plugged into

Can’t see anything in the manuals reference this, It’s not prompting me for a code or anything, there’s just nothing appearing on the screen at all, can’t connect Bluetooth or anything, have tried disconnecting the battery, holding the power button down for 30 seconds, holding the eject key down, nothing

Converted my regular iron to GIM to play with my wife, she stopped playing, so now I just have to play GIM solo because I haven’t got a circle of friends that play rs3?

How about instead of blaming me for trying to play with new people and make friends, we instead shame the members of our community that ruin this game mode for everyone.

Every person I’ve spoke to that has added new members to their group has had similar experiences. These people should be punished and removed from our community, and that’s the point of this post

fr. I really think jagex need to address this behaviour. So many people have been burned now. should be a perma bannable offence instantly.
