I've tried to change the time on the clock using my Comand system, but when I change the minutes (clock is 1 minute slow) it changes them by 30 mins only! (It's a 2004 W211 with sat nav/video/phone/multi-CD etc.). The handbook says you can't change single minutes when GPS is enabled. How do you temporarily disable GPS to make the change?

I've checked the threads and the general consensus is "take it to your dealer". So, for the sake of 1 minute, I'll just look at my watch!

I went to settings then time on the command head unit and input the correct time. Not sure if a minute out would bother me too much, I like to be early anyway.
