Solved - Reset of service indicator challenge

Dear all,

W220, 320CDI, 2003.

For fun reasons I tried to resetting the service indicator with ICarSoft tester. After this it’s only saids service has to be done, and it’s not possible to reset at normal procedure with the R button. I can only switch between a and b service and it saids service has to be done and The oil status does not work.

Anybody have a clue with this challenge?

Thank you very much.

  • Zündung einschalten.
  • Taster Systemauswahl wiederholt drücken, bis in der Multifunktionsanzeige der Kilometerstand angezeigt wird.
  • Taster Vor- oder Zurückblättern wiederholt drücken, bis in der Multifunktionsanzeige das Servicesymbol angezeigt wird.
  • Resetknopf für 3 Sekunden drücken. In der Multifunktionsanzeige erscheint die Abfrage "WOLLEN SIE DAS SERVICEINTERVALL ZURÜCKSETZEN? BESTÄTIGUNG MIT R-TASTE".
  • Resetknopf drücken.
  • Zündung ausschalten.
Hope your German ist good enough.

Dear all,


This seems to be a challenge for me.

Every time I start the car it comes up with the service indicator.

Like I write in the start topic it’s not possible to reset the service indicator anymore with the R button.

Please see attached photos. Do anybody know how to total reset the instrument display? Maybe this will work.

(I have tried with normally reset in display, but this do not work.

That could be. When I put the new android system in the clock was away.

But the problem with the service indicator did first start after I tried to reset the service indicator with ICarSoft.

Got it, if you replaced the Comand by Android, you need to have someone with Stardiagnosis to change the source for the time from Comand to "Radio". The reset of the service interval, I have no clue, sorry.

Challenge is solved.

I found a very clever technical person that could program the instrument cluster with the Star tester. The ICarSoft tester had totally damage the software in the instrument cluster.
