Help with MY01 Firmware Upgrade

[philsx]

Hi,
I've recently bought a lovely CLK430 Cabrio (2000W) with absolutely every option from the list including Comand. However I'm quite disappointed with the sat nav as the mapping doesn't show any of the smaller roads and lanes near my home. I intend to buy a 2007 map disk soon but first want to upgrade the Comand firmware to MY01. (Currently the software version is showing in the diagnostic as vn 08-17, FIS 8 Oct 1999, and the map CD is 1999-I).

I've downloaded the software from the link in theses forums and burned it as a disk image on CD. However I can't get the comand unit to load it - I get as far as the screen which says 'Service Download from CD' and 'Please Insert Download CD' but nothing happens when I put the CD in. I can just hear the CD spin up as though it's reading it but nothing else happens.

I've tried reburning the CD using diferent burning s/w and at slow speed but makes no difference. I wondered if my CD player did not like CD-R's but when I put in a music CD-R it plays perfectly. I've also checked and the comand definitely seems to be one that uses DX disks not the earlier version ... if that makes any difference.

Can anyone help me with this upgrade?
Thanks ... Phil

if it dont like cd-r try using a cd-rw disc as these generally work better for readers

Have you checked what files are on the CD? Make sure you haven't got just a single file on there like MY01.RAR or Navigation Teleatlas COMAND Firmware-MY01 ISO Image.ISO on the CD. The entire ISO image must be burned to the CD.

Just to add that the following 14 files should be on the CD:

COMP_DL.EXE
CONFIG.SYS
DFLASHDL.BEX
FILL.DAT
FILL1.DAT
O2EG1513.DNL
O2EM1513.DNL
O3EG1209.DNL
O3EM1209.DNL
O4EG0706.DNL
O4EM0706.DNL
ODEG0718.DNL
ODEM0718.DNL
PARAM.SYS

Not Reading CD with MY01 Upgrade on it

Thanks for those suggestions ... yes I've checked the CD and it contains all the files listed so I don't think that's the source of the problem. I will try a CD-RW but what I noticed today when I tried again is that it does not seem to recognise ANY CD disk that you put into it at the first stage of the process. Exactly the same happens when I put in say the actual maps disk ... surely it should reject the CD? It just sits there with the front screen (which says 'Service Download from CD' and 'Please Insert Download CD') and I also noticed that you can't even move it with the rotary control to highlight the 'Cancel' option.

The CD drive seems to work fine otherwise ... plays music CD's or reads navi map disk with no problems.

Anybody got any other ideas or seen anything like this before?
