Memory problems CD player Comand W205
I' m driving my new C Class for a month now. Nice car! The only irritating thing is the memory problem with the CD player.
MB tells me I've to wait till October to get it fixed with an update of the Comand system. It seems it's a known problem but I can't get any information about it on the internet. Who else has also memory with the CD player.
Problem: Parking it for a few hours the CD starts all over again. Parking for a few minutes it plays a random number and then gets stuck.

Sounds like a silly bug that should have been caught a long time ago. If it is really bugging you why don't you try copying the CD to the hard disk in the car? See if that keeps the track location for you. Sure, not many people use this feature, but why not? It is pretty easy to do, doesn't take that long and you don't have to fumble with the CD's any more.

The W205 isn't that old, so it takes a little time and wasn't found before.
Hard disk in the audio 20? Can you explain how? I only know I can use a memory card or USB stick (memory card slot is used for Garmin map pilot)

I don't have a new C-class so I can't say how to do it for sure, but if previous systems are any indication, there should be an option tab in the audio control when you have a CD in there. Select it and it should give the option to save to music register or something like that. Let us know how it goes.

@ddeliber.
Well I don't know if I've used the correct name, but the audio 20 is brand new. I also expected that it would work just fine, but it isn't.
I've checked the manual and it doesn't have a harddisk.
I think the new system has different features then you are used too know.

If you don't mind my asking, did they charge you separately for the maps card and activation of Nav or did that come with the car?

I think people post and read forums to gather information and hopefully learn something...I think both posts were well intentioned. What was not expected was your sarcastic response...if you feel the need to respond in that manner maybe posting on an open forum isn't for you.

Finger on the spot.<br />
Yes people read this threat for information, the correct information; no internal hard disk and memory problems with the CD player. And a workaround is not a solution! <br />
My response on you has this tone of voice, because you always seems to mention your test drive in the c300/c400 in almost every post you make (sarcastic) I understand you are proud on becoming an MB driver, but you can overdue.

I can't change the titel. But when You read my postings well; I wrote: '@ddeliber.

That cleared up the wrong assumption and confusion before, hope It does now. Good luck to you too.

Finally, I just got my car back from the dealer where it got the software update. I'm glad because the last day's I got more and more software problems:
* My navigation screen got stuck, and the other day it was working fine again.
* Park assist spotted parking space, when there was absolut no space to park the car.
* Telephone connection was working real slow
For now the software update seems to be working fine. If otherwise I keep you informed
