NEVER MIND

Just a fluke I suppose. Got back in car after dining out and all systems were working. Still would be interested if anyone might have an idea of why all sound from command wasn’t working while all other functions were

Had same thing happen on my 2004 SL500. Just disconnecting the accessory battery for a while fixed it for me.

I get this every 4-5 months or so, just press and hold the power button works for me.

Just in case anyone runs a search on the unit: spell it ‘Comand’ with single M.

Literally has happened to me twice on this car (one of the occasions some really bad static). Just turned it off the car for few minutes then back on.

Yes. Having a bad day? Once I did a search for the system and I found myself using the same wrong spelling. So I tip folks now and then. If you don’t mind. Or if you do, for that matter.
