I've got a 2005 CLK with Comand APS and a factory fitted digital TV tuner but there is no documentation for it and no mention in the Comand manual. I'm guessing there is a seperate manual but if so does anyone know the part number to order it or is it downloadable?

Are you sure it has a digi TV, what happens when you push the TV button

Do ask MB for a book, they can order one for you. The on line USA system is very different

Sorry I cannot do that one as the digi TV would have been a retro fit

Many thanks. So Mercedes didn't do a digital TV tuner then for facelift CLK's with Comand APS (I thought 860 was analogue and 863 was the digital options), in which case I am puzzled who the third party is that manufactured and intergrated the menu's for setting it and tuning it in, they look and function exactly the same in Comand as the other menu options for radio, sat nav etc?

Yes it would be with a retrofit, I will take a look the next time I turn on for this, the 209 is in the middle of my WIS change over years and I have not studied it that well

Looking on my copy of the EPC for my chassis the TV unit is either A211 870 18 62, A211 870 37 89, A211 870 43 90, A211 870 47 90 or A211 870 73 90 but there appears to be no manual listed for them specifically. I know the old Comand 2.0 units had a section in there manuals but that seems to be not the case with mine (I suppose the car could have the wrong Comand APS manual in it) so i would be interested to know if it is a seperate manual or should be integrated in the Comand APS manual

Checked the EPC and I have the correct part number on my copy of the Comand manual. Don't know if anyone has a W11 with digital TV tuner, if so do they come with a seperate TV manual or is it in the Camand manual?

Yes its working but it has several menu options that I have no idea what they are about. I've asked my local dealer and they think that the Comand manual should have something about the TV but mine doesn't mention it.

For example what does "VT" do and "Channel Fix"!?

VT is text, but not without the remote. Channel Fix is for stopping the tuner looking for an alternative station if the signal is weak

Confirmation from my local dealer and Mercedes is that there is no manual! They managed to make an expensive accessory that they couldn't be bothered to write any instructions for!!

Perhaps you have the wrong handbook for the car, there will be something somewhere though they are simple things to use and limitations as to what you can do with it.

Checked the handbook reference number/part number and that is correct. It really does seem that on the CLK there was no manual for the TV tuner (unless another W209 CLK owner can tell me different!)

Thats right. They had to talk to Milton Keynes to check what should be in the manual pack that came with the car. As the unit is a A211 item I did wonder if there was a manual with the E Class but again I would need to get the part number from someone who had a copy

30 is the tuner and 100 is the book, so only the 1 book that covers the comand
