hi every one,
I have E-350 2013 USA specs, and now i am in middle east in Oman/Muscat. and i try to connect 3G/4G with car, but i get msg in the car that( no net found)
blue toth is working fine with me.
any idea or any one came accross to this issue?
I will appreciate your feedback.
thank you.

So exactly what kind of 3g network are you expecting to connect to?


You are aware that specs vary widely across the world and a US spec car will likely not work?

Hajry

Beshannon,
Thanks for your comment. we have our provider network 4G/3G to our mobile telphone..
so at least the car can detect the network if it can't connect..
the msg i get is no network found..
blue tooth is working fine with me, usb is working only to charge the phone, but i can't access the data..

Is that an mbrace error message? You cannot have mbrace connected in Oman.

Diesel Benz,
its not MBrace.. its form the main command NG system.. if you go to the screen and system.

You need to get one of the local Mercedes dealers or Mercedes mechanics to update the software on your car to a European or Middle East software. The USA models do NOT support mobile system outside of the USA as the United States uses different frequencies and protocols than most of the world. Mercedes-Benz USA also has exclusive contracts in place which prohibit allowing the cars to use other mobile providers.

Once non-US software is loaded you can connect to COMAND with your mobile via Bluetooth and access all of the functions that way.

BeachBunny,
I really appreciate for your feedback. i would like to ask you more if you dont mind.
doing that updating software with European or middle east software, the system will it accesp installation and it won't mess up with the car systems?
cuz i tried to install maps and the NG system didnt accept .

also,
i hope if you can help me with this issue, the current maps now i have is USA maps,
I took the car to MB dealer here in oman, and they tried to install 2015 version of middle east maps, but they couldn't, the system didnt accept.
they said i have to change the NG system with gulf specs, it will cost me $8000.. thats aloooooooot...
i was wondering if there is wold map CD form USA so that i can install it, thats will be fine with me.
or what you suggest?
Thanks again.
