AMG Startup screen setup instructions
A. Turn ono the command and select CD
B. Press and hold the "5" first then press and hold "3" and "7" -- all at the same time for about 3 sec.
C. This opens a menu with keyboard choices. Scrooll down to the AMG and select.
D. Press "Back" to the main menu
E. Turn off the command
F. Turn off your car.
I already tried. and it works.
I saw this instruction on Benzwrold.org.
Have a nice weekend.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Putting AMG logos on the outside of the car seems like one is trying to pass off their car as an AMG. If he wants to see the AMG logo on his screen for 5 seconds when he starts the car up, I don't see how that hurts anyone.

Simply, if for any reason you experience any problems with a new setting and cannot revert back to the original setting by using the posted procedure you will need to have either an independent shop, the dealer, or an experienced person attempt to repair it at cost and if it is decided it cannot be reset the head unit will need to be replaced at cost. As stipulated repair and/or replacement is not covered by warranty. The majority of those who attempted this may have been successful with no adverse affects however, just wanted to forewarn everyone.
BTW this modification has been circulating since 2005.

After Konigstiger's post, I am afraid your command got damaged now.
But if you are still want to know, do the search on "3-5-7".
