COMAND unit help! (w140)

Hi friends i have a s600 w140 import from japan. I live in Australia

The COmand unit on the car looks exactly like this:

http://community.forenshop.net/forum...1101822322.jpg

Most of the Text on the actual Operating system is in japanese. I have changed the langauge to english, but all it changes is just the softkey Labels.

I need help in getting my TV to work and My sat nave to work.

In australia our TV freqencies are in MHz but on the Unit i only have the option of using KHz Frquencies. Can i somehow change this?

My sat nav is in jpanese. Ive heard i need a Cd to change it to the AUs version biut i cant actually find where to put the CD into (unless it goes into the CD chnager?)

Is there anyway that i can get an English or Australian Firmware Operating System.

Now thats a nice looking unit, looks like they even incorporated the AC/heat controls into it. I inquired at one time to purchase this unit for someone, however I was told that there was never a comand for the old S-Class models.

Steve or Scorchie really need to chime in here. If they dont see this post I suggest you pm either one of them. They would probably know most about this unit.

One of those button on the commend is to open the front and the slot for the CD is behind it. I saw the demo on the Benz dealer.
