Change time and date on COMAND?


my car sat in the shop for awhile so the time and date got all out of wack. It won’t let me adjust the minutes individually, only forward or backwards by 30 minutes. Also can’t seem to change the date. Help?

As I recall, you must disassociate Command from the Center Instrument panel display, do this using a menu with the left side steering wheel buttons.

Simple fix, pull the negative cable from the battery and connect it on 12:00 and call it a day.

more like call it a week or month or year to sync up the date too …lol cause I know its not March of 2003, but I wish it was. Get back 20 years and resurrect my wife.

I made a thread about this as well. Get the time correct and leave it as is. The date you cannot change as every time you go somewhere with GPS coverage, it will reset. Lookup the issue with how the week is sent over GPS and you'll see why the date is as such. NTG3 had that same issue but Mercedes issued an official update for it after a community fix has been around a while.

Assuming his 2006 GPS is still working, I have to replace my splitters some day. Maps are so old I haven’t bothered.

My GPS was working fine at one point, up until like 4 months ago. I live in Seattle but my car thinks I’m up near Canada. Another time it thought I was across the water in Poulsbo…. Another time it also thought I was in Los Angeles. Ridiculous
