Command - Change logo to AMG

por997s · 06-21-2008, 03:27 PM

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

shouldnt that be standard in an AMG?

MB_Forever · 06-21-2008, 05:20 PM

It's posted in one of the sticky threads, and actually makes the command look very cool

MJ50 · 06-21-2008, 06:08 PM

amg logo startup screen definitely looks way better than standard mb logo screen...

I never said you were my friend.

Let me know if you discover any tricks for the W204.

Fr33kn63 · 06-22-2008, 01:10 AM

worked like a charm! Looks great, thanks!

Hammer Down · 06-22-2008, 01:47 AM

I have gotten compliments for the past 4 years on this and my friends love it, I told them that the car came this way and its part of the AMG package

Fr33kn63 · 06-22-2008, 02:05 AM

yeah im really pleased with the change. Only seems appropriate.

cannonball55 · 06-22-2008, 02:07 AM

does anyone know if this works on a c55?

Fr33kn63 · 06-22-2008, 02:10 AM

You should try. I bet it might. wish I had known about this after buying the car. Never did like the regular emblem popping up.

Only problem is the logo does not stay up very long. Did this the day I picked up the car and registered here. Awesome info on these forums.

yeah I thought it went away QUICK!!! But still glad its there on a REAL AMG unlike some other people we know.

IndiumGreyE63 · 06-22-2008, 12:51 PM

Thanks for the info. Looks good for the .24 seconds it gets displayed...

BigApe · 06-22-2008, 01:22 PM

I must be the only tard here... All I managed to do was to set my #3,5 and 7 presets to the same station.

One thing to notice is once you do the "amg" screen, you lose the AM channels being displayed in the instrument cluster. FM,sat,ipod are all fine,I believe it's due to the euro programming of the head unit. Just some fyi so you don't take to the car to the dealer for a display problem.

deaded · 06-22-2008, 05:12 PM

Thanks for the head-up on that MBTEK.

People still listen to AM channels?
