Hi all
I have a 270 CLK 2004. I have owned this for about six years now. I recently had a new battery fitted as the old one was not up to scratch.
I have a recurring problem with the clock. Twice a year when the clocks go back or forward (daylight savings time) the clock in my car goes crazy and just runs and runs until the battery is dead.
I have tried changing the clock manually before AND after the day the clocks change but it makes no difference, the clock still runs the battery down.
This happened again this morning and we are nowhere near the day for the clocks to go back.
The car came with a non-standard stereo unit from the previous owner but the problem used to be easily fixed by changing the clock manually, now that won’t work.
There is no option on the dashboard settings options to NOT sync up the clock with the head unit, as I have seen on youtube videos, not sure if my model should have this or not.
I have tried to disable the clock but I cannot find how to do that either, no allocated fuse or relay I can find.
It would seem my only option is to buy an Audio 10 or Audio 50 and return my car to factory settings, but should I have to do that? Isn’t there another way?
If anybody out there has an answer for me I would be very, very grateful as this is driving me slowly insane.
Cheers
