W221 Centre Console Clock Slow

[Alex]

Why is it that the centre console clock in my 221 lags behind the digital one in Comand? A few mins and counting. Resetting the clock in Comand does nothing. S600 and S65 both have this issue.

Help.

Something like this:

Complaint:
The analog clock time cannot be set/changed.
The date shows the wrong value.
A change to the time in COMAND is not accepted in the analog clock.
NOTE:
- The navigation function is not available,
- The positioning of the vehicle is correct,
- The computation of the arrival time is correct.
Cause:
The GPS signal from the satellites is not correctly processed by COMAND.
Remedy:
Reset the control unit on the instrument cluster using Xentry Diagnosis.
Proceed as follows:
- GPS reception must be given - vehicle must be outdoors,
- Select correct time zone on COMAND, the Summer - Winter time menu then appears - this is dependent on the national
versions involved,
- The workshop must check here whether the automatic summer/winter time setting has been deactivated on the vehicle
with the problem - only applies for countries with summer and winter times,
- The workshop then sets the COMAND time to the correct time,
- The workshop resets the control units on the instrument cluster using Xentry Diagnosis. This option/function is
available in all Xentry Diagnosis versions and does not require a special measures.
- The analog clock in the center console synchronizes with the COMAND time.

Same hear Alex. Took it to Brooklands and they got a instruction from head office to do with the GPS changing. I'm taking it in on Wednesday. Will let you know how I got on.

I am interested to know if there is a fix for this, as mine runs 6 minutes slow.
