Command flickering first 5-10 mins of driving

Just wanted to ask if any of my fellow w222 drivers have experienced this:

I had my S550 in for service last week, and they did a software update. Since this, the command system right screen will often flicker for about the first 5-10 mins of driving and then seems to stop.

Has this happened to anyone else?

What was the reason for the update?

Bring it right back to the dealer... I assume your still under warrantee... Things could get quite expensive if your out of Warrantee....

Have a 14 S550, never happen...

I plan on it. Just wanted to know if it has happened to anyone else. It was for seat function.

What was the reason they needed to do the update?

My massaging seats were not functioning properly. They said it was due to a software issue that needed updating.

Curious what was the issue with them. I had my car in and they did over 5 different updates. Every system has its own "computer/module" Trunk, Sunnroof, Distronic, Park assist, radio, gps, etc. Over 100 individual computers/modules.

I had it in yesterday and they did some kind of flash and it has not done it since, but it has only been a day. I'll keep you posted if it changes
