Crap IUs

Does anyone have the problem of faulty IUs in their new C200? I've just had my THIRD one changed last week. The technician was just as blur and could not really give a satisfatory answer to this recurring problem except that he blamed the cash cards (which were all working)!!! Is there something wrong with the electricals?

Hey, I also just changed mine 2 weeks ago...after half a year.

Never had this issue with any of my other rides :(

But now the new IU seems more difficult for the gantries to read compared to the original one ???

Think the IUs are the issue. Initially thought it was cashcard but then tried 5 different ones and none could be read. (but they worked in my other car). Eventually changed mine last week at VICOM. Technician said that it was a faulty batch of IUs and he has many failures in the past year.

I change mine twice in 1year,

was told that Merc technician tape the electric wrongly and the the voltage kill the IU

therefore the LTA staff retape the electric source and hopefully i dont not need to change again

I've changed my 3rd one a few weeks ago for my W204.

The technician there told me that he sees at least 10 C-Class a day. He couldn't give me the reason why, but he think its probably that the voltage is too high and that killed the IU.

Hi Guys,

Are you referring to the new IU implemented by LTA for all cars on 1st Jul 2009? My IU the latest kind slim model could not go thru much of the car park gantry. Have to insert CashCard manually :(
