Just found this out:
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.

Good man.........

But, what does the mod do? Give a splash screen that says AMG?

Kind of lame if you don't got an AMG though...

LetsJet

Not if you're an AMG fan. Not the same as rebadging.

Ummm. Why would anyone do this on a non AMG car?

Pretty stupid.

SilverE430

Besides point. just choices and information. man Also try button "nav" and "5". it pull out some strange options. Have a great weekends. guys.

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.

SilverE430- thanks a lot, u da man I wanted this long time ago but I thought that I have 2 take the car to the dealer for software or somthin.............tomorrow ill check the 2nd trick, keep 'em comin

pmb600- I totally agree with u buddy, stupid?? lame?? C'mon guys there's nothing wrong with that as unless u rebadge with to 55, 63 or 65.....its even better if u have AMG rims or spoilers

I gotta go order the ///AMG illuminated door sills from formymercedesbenz.com :smo

Well there's nothing wrong with AMG rims on a non-AMG either...sport package does this from the factory.

FYI (just in case...):

If this procedure does not recover correct functionality and operation of the head unit, the head unit must be replaced:

konigstiger- what do u mean? is it risky wiil it effect the head unit??

konigstiger

"If this procedure does not recover correct functionality and operation of the head unit, the head unit must be replaced."

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.

SilverE430- the second trick (cheat) didn't work, anything new??

SilverE430

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".
