Hi All I have a 2005 SLK55 AMG. A lovely low mileage car that I've owned a couple of years now. This winter its developed a couple of very annoying problems with the COMAND system. They are the niggly type and so I will attempt to sort them myself... 1) Both the AUX and BASS buttons...

Well, after almost 12 years, it seems that the navigation disc reader has reached EOL. Now, replacing it is a rather costly affair, it seems, unless I use one from the scrap-yard. Besides, the maps and the UI are rather dated now. So I'm thinking of what, or if, to replace it with. Now, most...

Hi tech-heads, I've just checked the map version on my car is V5 2012, and looks like it hasn't been updated since new. My questions are: 1. Is this sufficient grounds to ask the local dealer to do a free update, even tho it's outside the 3 year free update? 2. Can I buy the latest DVD...

Hi Guys, I'm looking to retrofit a Comand unit to my 2006 w209 CLK (Face Lift). I have done a lot of reading on the topic but want to make sure that I'm 100% familiar with the process & know what I'm doing whilst at it - without having any concerns or uncertainties. I'll only be choosing...

Hi - can anyone tell me if it is possible to somehow transfer all my music files from my old E Class (2013) to its replacement (2015). The lease is up shortly and I'd prefer not to go through the hassle of reburning CDs to MP3 again. I can't find anything here about this but I probably...

Hi I have a 2008 W211 E280CDI and I've taken some shots of the COMAND engineering screens in the hope of finding out how old my satnav maps are and what I can do to update them. If anyone can help a newbie I'd be very grateful. Cheers! :)

Hello, Slightly annoying problem here on my W220. Since about 3 months or so, my Comand has been misbehaving. This started to occur after I bought (what is said to be) an orignal Nokia 6310i phone for the carkit. The phone works OK, rings, does SMS, shows on display, etc. - but ever since I have...

After cleaning up my daughters sick from my consol, I have inadvertently changed a setting on the Navi. I zoom in to 0.05mi, but still the arrow appears 'more' zoomed out. Any suggestions on what I may have done ? Can the position of the car be changed on the screen ? Also the Navi is...

Hello New member! I just bought my MY2005 R230 and have a question about the COMAND system, I hope someone can help. When I got the car, the COMAND DVD was in the drive in the head unit but I have since discovered that there is a DVD drive in the boot where the DVD should go. When I put...

Hi all, ive had a quick search in the forums, but am still confused... 1.) Does the COMAND unit in the '09 C Class have its map data on a hard-drive? I don't have the separate COMAND Manual supplement for the unit (if there is one, i think my car came with the wrong manual second-hand..?)...

Hi, I've had my C350CDI for a couple of weeks now. Lovely car, enjoy driving it immensely. I have the COMAND unit, with the multi disc changer, nav and media interface. I was given a new set of cables from the supplying dealer. I have a 5th gen iPod classic which when connected displays...

Evening all, After learning the hard way that the parking sensors cannot see very low down objects I've decided i'd really like to retrofit a reversing camera. Has anyone else done it? Is it a DIY or professional job? I would want the factory fitted type, not the type that replaces the...

My Comand Sat Nav has decided to stop working on my 2005 E220 Estate. It says there is no disc inserted. The disc looks fine and it works in my friends Merc. I've tried his disc but get the same message. I've tried disconnecting all the cables and reconnecting but the problem remains. I have...

Hi Everyone, I have a 2006 A Class A200 Elegance with Comand and telphone pre-wire (Code 386). I have purchased a Mercedes SAP Bluetooth V3 cradle (Part Number A2129068600). On fitting the cradle into the centre armrest phone socket the cradle is not recognised by the Comand (Tel button...

My 2003 S350 sat nav thinks I am in Durham when I am in Lancashire. I am informed that I need a new antenna and the price is £380 fitted. Can I obtain one and are they easy to fit? Where is the sat nav unit located in the car? Any help? Brian

Ok gurus, Variation on a theme here, I'm about to get a 2007 E Class Estate with COMAND DVD APS - I've trawled the threads and remain non the wiser as to how I fit a rear DVD screen. I've got an old screen repeat from a portable DVD System, is there anyway I can connect this to the...

Hi everyone I'm new here and to Mercedes. I have recently purchased a 61 plate M Class Grand Edition and absolutely love it. I have only one issue which is with the Bluetooth. What happens is that the phone connects fine, contacts are downloaded fine, basically everything works but here...

Hi, i recently had a new battery fitted and everything went well until i tried my Alpine KCE-425I ipod integration kit. I can see it on the Nav display and hear it, problem is I can only adjust the volume, where as before the battery change I could change tracks from the steering wheel controls...
