COMAND Problems C240 2002

Hi

1. When switch on ignition, warning says "Battery Voltage Low screen will switch off in 3 minutes" Turn on engine and all works fine. Battery checked and is good.

2. How do you switch off the TP (Traffic announcements) on the radio?

Thanks
Simon

TP radio sorted, thanks. You have to hold in the "mute" speaker off button for at least two seconds. Still need answer to first point

The comand if left on will drain the battery. The switching off is to prevent this happening when the ignition is off. Its quite normal.

Hi
Thanks for this - but what if I want to listen to the radio and not run the engine? I have to keep switching it back on again every three minutes?

Just turn the ignition key but dont start the engine. It should be every 30 minutes it shows the message not 3!!!

Thanks again! Although it does shot down after 3 minutes… can this be corrected?

Comand switches off after three minutes..

Apparently this is "normal" - later models lasted for 10 or 15 minutes - which is a pain if you want to listen to the radio and not run the engine… you have to keep switching back on every three minutes. POOR DESIGN...
