2000 W210 E320 Phone Disable question

[Cbus_E430]

I unplugged my two dash speakers in the corners of the dash. The Tele-aid annoyance went away, and the stereo does not suffer at all, because these 2 crappy little speakers are used for the Tele-aid only, I have heard.

Keep searching for threads on this, someone posted a pdf attachment which details how to pop off the plastic speaker grill, pull out the speaker (it's not screwed down) and unplugg the plastic connectors. Cheapest DIY thing ever...

Thanks Cbus E430

I've actually read that somewhere as well, but then I read other stuff too.

This user has the same problem, but someone is telling him that he unplug some wires in the trunk
Phone sound at startup [Archive] - MBWorld.org Forums

Others are saying that the speaker is in the passenger side kick panel.

I wasn't able to find the pdf that you suggested, but I will try to open the plastic grill and disconnect the speakers tonight.

Thanks again.

He also said that Mercedes is advising people not to remove the analog system as it could harm other components in the car (e.g. your radio)

I am definitely not spending $300 on getting that thing removed. If there is anybody that has stopped the teleaid noise, please help us out here.

Thank guys

I just cut the lead wire to the two speakers in the upper corners of the dash. These speakers only were for the phone and teleaid. Now no noise when starting and the radio and cd are not affected and still sound good.

You can actually pop the speakers out and disconnect that plastic harnesses if you dont want to clip wires

I solved the loud noise on start up by simply disconnecting the wires from the two teleaid speakers (one at each end of the dash on top). Access is from the end of the dash. These speakers are not part of the Boise sound system.
