so for 2005 we can get the E55 to give us the AMG logo.

can any of the techs with the Star system set our cars to the European version so we can have the British voice? What are the downsides of Euro edition aside from the satellite not working?

It took me a few times also to get to this menu. I tried both methods but finally got to it by switching to the CD Mode. Once in CD Mode, I turned off the radio. Waited a second, then turned it back on while holding down 3+(5)+7. For me the 5 needed to be pressed slightly before the 3+7. Then then menu appeared. Once you switch the mode to US211-AMG, you need to shut it off and wait a good 5 minutes before you turn it back on or the settings will not stay. I took me a few trys also to make it stay.
Hopefully this helps.

Even better if the car was on, but the radio was off the AMG logo stayed there!

Sorry about that. Give it a try again (see previous post). I fixed how I inserted the link.

Let me know if anyone can figure out a way to make this change stick. I tried a few things and the voice stuck, even after I started the car again, but then it reverted back.

That's a good question... could it be because of COMAND model difference?

My car is Jan'05 and I used the 3-5-7 method to re-program mine. It works fine, but you must switch off the Command for a few minutes first. Just follow the instructions on the forum.

March '05 here and following the 3-5-7 directions I only managed to set my radio channel to memory setting 3.

TURN ON COMAND | AUDIO | RADIO | HOLDING DOWN 3-5-7

Instead of radio, try it in CD mode.

From memory it was 5 first, then while you hold 5, press 3-7 together and the MENU should appear.

E55
OK, so I am now totally confused. After several attempts with the CD in and the system in Nav mode I accessed the 3-5-7 screen and set it to AMGW211_USA. Turned off the system, wait 5 minutes and the MB logo appears. Try again and same results. Oh well.

Stop at the corner store, come back out and now it says AMG! Great except I would like to play with the other settings and I cannot reliably get the system into 3-5-7 mode. Sometimes it comes up and other times not - I can't figure out what I'm doing differently. Any suggestions?

You're correct. It's not the '3-5-7' trick, but rather the '5-3-7' trick.

Make sure you press and hold 5 first, then proceed to pressing and holding 3 and 7.

Chose Euro AMG not US AMG on the menu. When I did US, my TV did not work. Not all cars have a TV tuner so that may not be an issue for you.

Is there any way to get the radio to switch pre-sets by the steering-wheel rather than scrolling station-to-station?
