Hi Guys,
A tip from a good friend of mine. Works a treat! I am sure most of you already know this, for those of you who dont here goes.
When you first start you E55 up, the COMAND system displays the 'STAR symbol. Well if you'd prefer to see the 'AMG' logo instead, then just do the following:
Turn ignition key to position 1 or 2.
2. Turn on Command.
3. Turn to Radio.
4. Press 5 (continue holding and wait 1 second).
5. Press 3 (continue to hold along with 5 key and wait 1 second).
6. Press 7 (continue to hold along with 5 and 3 keys and wait about 3 seconds).
7. A menu should appear. Scroll down and select "AMG211_ECE" option.
8. Switch off ignition, remove key and leave about 5 minutes before turning on again

it does work. I did this a couple months back. It took me a while. I also set presets 3, 5 and 7 all to the same station many times. After 20 minutes, I finally got it. Not sure what I did different but keep trying. It works!
VERY VERY short lived though on startup. I wish it stayed for 10 seconds or so (not half a millisecond). The original mercedes sign stayed up longer.

It worked on my W211 E55 when I tried it out yesterday. But so far, there is no luck with the CL55.

I've tried this several times but it hasn't worked. Is it because I don't have navigation in my 03"? I have the radio that has the smaller screen and a tape player. The screen does show the Star and say Mercedes Benz on startup. Anyone know what's up?

This works on my 08 - I need to redo it, had the unit replaced (yes, the entire unit $$$, long pointless story) I think it was slightly different, the way I did it, I don't remember for sure, I will go and try it soon and let you know.

63 & keyless: (55's read too, so you don't save stations)
Ok, I sit in the car, hit the keyless (or you can turn key) without starting the car - I think it works just the same if you start it, but I didn't test it.
I go right from the map for nav, this is kinda tied to the radio if you press those buttons, but mine was playing from the CD Changer. I am pretty sure you can actually do it from anywhere in the command system.
I press 5 (1sec) 3(1sec) 7(wait about 5 full Mississippi) (Middle, Top Right, Bottom Left - I have seen people do 7,5,3 and get confused)
Then you come to the menu, mine also offers me AMG 171 and some other options on there, like 6, haha.
Select either 171 and 211, I played with this before, its the same damn thing. Turn car off, if you have keyless, open the door.
Now this is the annoying part, it takes like 15+ full seconds before you can do anything or it won't work. If you try short of that, you will get the benz logo.

So this worked on your 07 E63/. I haven't gotten it to work on my 07 E63 yet, I guess i will have to keep trying. I went to my local MB dealer, they couldn't get it to work either, and I talked to several techs about it, no luck.
