Summary of the thread
A 2012 Mercedes R Klasse diesel is experiencing a blank gear selection display and inability to engage gears, accompanied by slipping, shifting issues, and grinding noises. The problem is suspected to be a defective control unit, as indicated by error codes. The suggested solution is to have the control unit checked and potentially replaced at a workshop.

Specific codes? I'd need to check again. What exactly did you do to fix it? Was it just the electronic display itself or something deeper?

Nah, wasn't the display itself. It was the control unit. That's what manages the gear changes. When that goes haywire, you get all sorts of crazy symptoms. If you're seeing those kinds of issues, plus a stored error, I'd bet that's your problem too. Get it checked at a workshop, just to be sure.

Right, thanks for the info. That pretty much confirms my suspicion. I'll get the control unit replaced. I will post here after the repair.

Whoa, sounds familiar. I had similar weirdness with my R Klasse. The digital display went bonkers, and the gear selector was totally unresponsive. Was like driving a manual with no clutch! Is it throwing any specific codes?
