Does anyone know how to set the clock with the Comand unit? After I had my cluster coded to Comand present my clock is 2 hours behind. The timeset option in the Comand menu is still greyed out. I thought it might be set by the GPS but it has been a few weeks and its still wrong. Was there some other option I was supposed to have changed?

You can set your time through the steering wheel/dash menu. You also have an option there to sync it w/ the head unit/comand. Adjusting the daylight savings may help too.

Now that the Comand is set as present the option in the cluster menu is no longer there.

It is no longer in MFD because COMAND is setting the time through GPS Satellite...What you CAN do - if you already have not...is on the COMAND Menu set it to your location, this will get you accurate (well within 1 minute to our Verizon phones) time...and from there you can adjust Day Light Savings....

You have "lost" your ability to set the time how you want (5 / 10 minutes ahead for example) if you have now installed COMAND.

How do I set my location? I don't have the owners manual for the Comand. The map shows my current location and navigates fine.

You can go to Mercedes website and download a comand manual

I finally found the manual and it says in there I set the time zone but that is in the timeset menu which I can't get into. I looked around in the "secret menu" and nothing in there lets me do what I need to do.

This radio is out of a G-Class but I don't see why that should make any difference.

91RS,
I have the same exact problem; I just retrofitted a W209 Comand into my W209 and I can't set the clock.

I read in the manual that when the Comand is reset it defaults to the Central timezone. I can only assume it is set to standard time which would explain why our clocks are two hours behind.

Until I read your post I was thinking my timeset option was disabled because I haven't had the cluster coded, but reading that yours has been coded and you're still unable to set the time is not very reassuring.

I am going to try to set my analog clock and see if that helps -- I'll report back my findings.

Yeah, I figured I'll just have to have the dealer check the radio next time I'm in and see if there's a way to "enable" it.
