Command system fail
2005 500SL. Command (navigation/audio) system failing. Gives a blue screen with a Merdcedes Star that says
"Flash file system damaged. Will be formatted now. Please don't switch off."
Eventually it sorts itself out, but then the next time I start the car, it starts over again with this screen. I have tried disconnecting both batteries in the specified manner and also pulled and reset every fuse associated with the system. So far no help.
Has anyone else encountered this and what eventually fixed it? Thanks.

That said, I don't know where you would get the unit repaired unless you know someone who can spot the right cap and solder in a new one. I'm sure the dealer would just sell you a new headunit.
