the clock
How do you change time on the clock in this car?
I recall reading a post in W220 section (I think) which stated that time automatically adjusts with DST, but mine is still an hour behind since it started.

One of the MOST annoying "features" of my SL is that the time is synchronized to the GPS and cannot be changed! My wife and I like to set the time a couple of minute ahead in our cars because I'm a chronic procrastinator, but we can't do that in the SL!! It can only be changed in 30 minute increments with that silly GPS synchronization.
Definitely a case of over-engineering winning over common sense IMHO.

My E-Class allows me to choose whether to have the clock linked to the GPS or not. When it's linked to GPS it jumps in 30 minute increments, but when it is not linked, it jumps in 1 minute increments.

Can one of the W221 owners check on their Comand system and manual if the system allows minute-by-minute time adjustments even when the GPS is receiving UTC data from the satellites? If not, it's a most annoying feature!

Thanks.
I was able to change time by going into COMAND.
