Disconnected and reconnected battery to find language has changed from English to German, I cant seem to change language back to english on instrument cluster, when I go into settings or "Einstellungen" then its instrument cluster or "Kombiinstrument and press ok it defaults to miles or Kms only I cannot seem to scroll up or down in this submenu to scroll to language. Anyone else had this problem and cured, is it a star change by merc dealer to set back to normal.
 
According to the "interactive manual" the language menu only comes up on cars without a Audio system !!

Thus I imagine your new COMAND system (with the broken display :-( ) is on German and thus the cluster speaks German.

It used to be the other way - COMAND could be set to take the language set in the cluster, but it seems NTG4 does it the other way round

Thanks for that Richard, I looked at the manual and could not understand the "cars without an audio system", I thought all cars are fitted with an audio system , so language can be changed but on the Comand.
 
All UK cars have an audio system - I don't think that is necessarily true everywhere

The language is definely settable for COMAND on the COMAND, and I thus believe the cluster takes the langauge from there given that note in the Instrument cluster instructions and your lack of a language menu !

Cheers

Richard
