can anyone help. I have just bought a 2000 S500 with comand and I have managed to press a button which has now locked up the unit and displays a message "ALARM". I can't change the station on the radio, volume or source because of it...the previous owner neglected to give me the comand owners guide so I am truly stuck....

Thanks in advance

I received your email. This puzzles me. I have never hard of COMAND having this type of lockdown feature.

I've looked though my COMAND manual and nowhere does it talk about this type of feature.

hmmm...I have only had the car a few hours.....is there a reset feature or anything I could try to unblock the system?? It seems to be stuck on one radio station at a set volume too... All i did was kept the >I button pressed no more than 5 seconds or so and that was it.

You should contact your dealer immediately...no alarm code...you need to reset the comand...the dealer may charge for this.

Goto the UK site for the SL or new CLK, (not available for S Class), they have an interactive one. Obviously it has the same features but different buttons, concept is the same though.

Goto uk web site, Showroom, CLK Coupe, Ownership, find Owners Manual. (or go to SL)

command units in the uk i think do have an lock feature that can only be turned off by the dealer

No such feature in my Comand for MY2000, MY2001, MY2002 nor in the manuals? Is that true? Then what triggers it?
