W221 - S Class; Time & date problems

W221 S-Class Time & Date problems in command and where time will not sync with the analog clock
Solution:- Cover the roof Antenna with a small sheet of moulded lead (PB) , Turn Ignition to position 1, Now update time & date in command and will sync with analog clock.
Turn off, remove Lead cover over antenna. QED
