RE: 2004 S430 COMAND System Crash
 

hahhaha... it really looks to me like a boot up problem in windows. your comand will only have black background and orange font on update mode. i thought you have pressed the two secret buttons while turning on the ignition.

i have seen your site, looks neat. haven't much of those Q45 around, are there?

i have seen the newer models and it's a beauty.

RE: 2004 S430 COMAND System Crash
 

I don't know if this is related but maybe someone could help. I have a 2002 S430 with a message that keeps coming up when I start the car: " Tire Press. Control. Visit workshop". I took it to a small dealer, and they said that the computer that controls the tire pressure sensors needs to be replaced. This is, needless to say, a very expensive proposition. The only alternative at the moment is to press the reset button to clear the message. This is very irritating. Has anyone encountered this before, and if so, how was it fixed?
Any help would be appreciated

thanks
