Question re changing nav screen to AMG
 

I did the 3-5-7 trick and changed the first menu selection from USW211 to AMG211, and I now get the AMG screen when the unit is powered on. But that is immediately followed by the "warning" screen that I used to get--is that normal? I thought changing it got rid of the warning screen, but maybe it just stuck the AMG logo in ahead of it.

The warning screen is a standard on all W211. Definitely nothing abnormal about it. The 5-3-7 trick does not rid the warning screen. Don't worry, mine does so too. :)

Thanks. Guess I should have known they made it impossible to defeat the idiot alert. :mad:

Electronic lawyers suck.

At least we don't have to push "OK" to acknowledge the warning everytime like the Lexus/toyota system. Somebody should sue those lame lawers for finger cramp.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the 3-5-7 trick?

Say you want to change the Mercedes-Benz welcome screen when you start up COMAND to the AMG logo. To do so, follow these steps:

1.) Turn on your COMAND, hit Audio, then CD
2.) Now on your numpad, press and hold '5', then press and hold '3' and '7'... a screen should come up with a list
3.) Select the I think W211US_AMG or somethign similar
4.) Turn off your ignition or COMAND for about a minute or two, then turn it back on
5.) You now should have the AMG logo appearing in place of the Mercedes-Benz logo

Hope that helps.

Yes, not only Lexus/Toyota, but also Honda, BMW...

It's totally distractive having to worry about the ok push to acknowledge the warning.

Good thing MB eliminated the silliness.

Just switched mine !!! :) LOOKS cool.

I wish it looked a bit more chrome than a blue-ish chrome. Oh well, still looks appealing. :y

So your E55s don't come with the AMG logo already programmed in?

I know some E500 folks are changing them to show the AMG logo, but I figured the E55 came with it from the factory.

I think it should stay longer. It pops up for a second and then its gone. What would be cool though, is if the COMMAND screen entered a sleep mode when it was inactive and the ///AMG logo was the screen saver. Then again, it probably would get pretty annoying...

Once you 3-5-7 in the AMG logo has anyone else noticed that the tuned
in station in AM mode no longer shows up in the instrument cluster? FM shows fine but the AM disappeared :nix:
