Time setting 2006 S55 AMG

Why is it that I can only adjust the clock minutes in half hour increments? I’ve watched other videos with my type of display and I see the same thing. I need to adjust the minutes in minutes. Thanks

Right, but for some reason when in minutes all it will move is 30 minutes at a time.

thats what I thought you were saying and needed to make sure. Reset the system and let’s see what happens. From the factory these COMAND systems had an extended warranty. I’m wondering if someone hasn’t put the wrong software on yours trying to “fix” it. I’ve reset mine before, no harm done, especially since you’ve just acquired the car. See what you get and report back. The 30min deal was from a prior version of COMAND.

old programs

I haven’t tried in a while, but I recall there was a limit to how much you could program the clock in 2003 MY. MB made it so they calculated Daylight savings time by old rules (they are no longer correct) and the minutes would be corrected by using some atomic clock input through a radio receiver. So the minutes would eventually align, but the hours could be off by 1 for several weeks.
