Posting this as a new thread as well as it's not just the E class.
So, like RAS, I have been working with my MB service team (Solihull and excellent chaps), and basically we agreed a few months ago that this was a long term problem and they would escalate the MB.
They rang me last week and asked to have the car in for the day. They had it on Friday and implemented a "short term solution" that had been recommended by MB whilst they work on something more permanent.
The short term solution is to remove some component from the antennae that deals with the TA announcements, so basically my TA is now disabled.
Result, near perfect DAB radio reception on all stations. It's been 4 days now and I've just been back in to MB to let them know that the temp fix worked.
So if you are having the same problem go to your service dealer and tell them to do this. It will take a day as they have to remove the headlining etc.
Will keep you posted if MB come back with a more permanent solution.
Hope this helps everyone.
