Hello guys hope you could help me out with this, i just bought a CLK200 2004 w209 Cabrio and i am trying to figure out the problem with the gearbox, when i try to downshift from D to 4 the car downshifts all the way to 1 instead and i am not holding the stick to the (-) just one tap does it.

Is there a way to reset it? or what is the problem with it? was i dooped into buying a lemon???? any help or suggestions would be helpful.

Another side issue the command keeps switching to radio when i am using the changers very weird.

You most certainly have an electrical problem, have you had the fault codes read out yet?
Nop I didn't get the codes read yet but before buying I had it inspected on star SDS but nothing came up on tran being faulty
Well it sure has a problem now and something should show up on SDS, maybe the previous owner never used the paddle shifters and did not realise, you have used them and a fault occured so there will be fault codes set now.
