Drive Inoperative Message

2011 E550 4Matic. The navigation screen says “Drive Inoperative” and “OK”. Pressing the Command Button switches the screen to “Audio”. The navigation system appears to be working behind the message and gives navigational voice prompts which stop when the screen goes to Audio.
Anyone seen this problem and have any suggestions for a fix? Thanks!
PS. Mute for the radio turns itself off intermittently.
I have gremlins!

I think this side of the forum is for 2017 and up E300s. Hope you can find your answer here, but if not you might have better luck in the proper forum.!

mbworld automatically posted me to this forum.
FYI, rebooting by removing the fuse for Command did nothing.
Returning to factory settings solved the issue although I had to reprogram my iPhone.
Hope this helps someone!
