Command automatically restarting
Hi,
On my 2013 GL450, the command system periodically shuts down and restarts.
This is independent whether the radio is on or not.
Even with a black screen where just the time is being displayed, I hear the CD changer working (there are no CDs in the head unit) and the time vanishes for a few seconds and comes back on.
After maybe 1-2 min, this is repeating.
No idea what might be causing it and how it get fixed (short of replacing the complete head unit.
Thanks for any hints!

XM
Maybe some updates were installed during this time frame? Any fixes after that are probably not installed without a subscription.
Thabks for the hint, I will see where I find the described XM issue.

Power cutting out
Hi,
One thing I noticed by chance was that at the same time when the command reboots, there is also a short power outage of a nearby bulb (forgot which one) and the USB from the middle console is temporarily not getting any power (phone was constantly complaining...).
So, this seems to have to do with the power supply and not necessary with the head unit itself.
Although, strangely, I get the rebooting more when the unit is switched off and not necessarily when the radio is on.
I probably will replace the fuse under the seat to see whether it makes any difference.
What other options should I consider?
Thanks!

Still ongoing
Hi,
No, unfortunately, I could not yet resolve it.
It is still constantly restarting when off.
However, I rarely see the restarting happening when the radio is on.
I checked the fuse(s) and they looked good (maybe I should have jut replaced it).
It is quite annoying I have to say.
Are you having similar issues or know how to resolve it?

This is a long shot, but this worked for me, maybe for you too?
