Guys MAYDAY !
Am having a weird problem with my Command System NOT keeping the date and time inputs - which also updates the dash clock... which I really use.
I am the original owner of the car (bought in Aug 03) ..Diamond Silver/ Grey... Now has 9700 miles and am both **** and meticulous in maintenance and upgrades.. Quaife LSD, six pot AMG front and four pot rear brakes with AMG slotted / sintered disc, 19" Black Series wheels, SL55 rear shocks, change ALL fluids yearly .. never "repair" IF replaceable .. including both batteries.
Am not keen on audio upgrades - as my hearing went to Naval Air !.. My ole 03 SL !
Just need some help/info on keeping inserted data in my old antiquated Command System longer than 3-5 minutes before losing it ......MAY DAY !

Are you aware of the fact that your Comand clock is totally dependent on satellite signals? The car needs to be exposed to 'the sky'. Furthermore, MB in its wisdom decided that your adjustment is limited to 30 minute intervals and that the single minutes are regulated by satellite signals.
Hi Fredrick, Thanks for your timely response and help.. YES, I am aware of the satellite signal requirement and the minute adjustment window ..
Having had and enjoyed the car for 18 years without this new issue .. I suspect the issue has something to do with the Command System memory (where ever it is located) ??? Our long time mechanic thinks there is a recent MB service bulletin addressing this problem .. However we cannot locate it .
When I insert the correct current date and time , then drive the car for about 3-5 minutes, the entire system loses the entire input and goes "random" ..including the independent dash clocks time .... STRANGE !!!!!

For one thing, in standard mode the dash clock is not independent from the adjustments you make in/through the Comand unit. The time clock used to be a few minutes fast compared to real time. The reason why has been extensively discussed on the forum.
Then the clock suddenly became dead-on exact for a few months. But it seems my own car-time recently went a few minutes off again. Something seems to be going on 'up there' or the algorithm in the Comand has reached a new calendar glitch.

Thanks ,

a command update might fix
also, there are settings that make the command independent from the cluster in terms of time-syncro
Xentry is required
