Analog Clock not syncing with command clock

My 2007 CL 500 analog clock is not syncing with the command clock. I used to set the time on the command and the analog clock would then spin and end up with the correct time. The command clock is taking the time from the Sat nav system. If i disconnect the battery the analog clock will revert to 12.00 and start working from there. I am told many W216 cl's are having the same problem? any ideas?

Mine also gave me crap during the time change, but I kept trying it and a couple of days later it magically worked! WooHoo!

Don't give up - out will it!

Hi Guys.
Got a work around from another forum. Leave the car over night. first thing in the morning, start car and within 1 minute go to command, vehicle, vehicle settings, and set the time. The analog clock will move to the time you set. You have only about one minute to do it before the Sat Nav system collects the "correct time" from the satellite.
The date is still wrong but this does not worry me as it is not visible.
