COMAND info needed [from hidden menus]

Hi

Could a couple of you guys in the US please do this for me on your COMAND screens ...


Enter the hidden menu diagnostic mode :-
Select AUX input [hit SYS button, select AUX] [dont need this on S/CL class]
Hold down MUTE, 1 and 3 buttons all together for 5 seconds

Once in diagnostic mode,
Select configurations, (using right hand rotary knob)

And tell me everything you see on that screen,
Ie, what is ticked, what is not ticked, and what the 3 numbers of
CFG are at the bottom left of the screen.

Can you also tell me what car, and what model year its in ?

Im working out how the CFG values relate to what is enabled on the system, and therefore how to make my "free" car diagnostic suite able to program the COMAND system to turn on TV stuff in the latest US cars.

Thanks !

Hey Richard I would help you but I have the German Unit.
I take it you are looking for the US units only right?

Ok, can you post your german info aswell ? If you could also post the s/w version, which can be found by looking in the software versions menu, in processors, near the bottom

Thank you !

You have a C (203) class, and that has digital bose (not analogue bose). Digital bose connects via the D2B fibre optic ring. Analogue takes the speaker outputs (and setting analogue bose changes the amplituded of those outputs and matches them to the analog bose amp)

Cheers

2002 C320 c2/c3/c4 & command
Richard, here is the info you needed. My car is 2002 C320 with US command system with Bose. And I took the car in Oct. 5 2001

TV Tunner
x Telephone (expand)
x Star Guide OBUR
Star Guide DRG
analogous BOSE

cfg: 22 4d 04 Radimplus: _ _

SW-Version REL_V06.11

Hope this info will help and let me know if you need any help from me.

By the way, Richard, I also see a DIAG Erros and it showed

SAE Code Type Cnt State
B1780 0x0000 002 P

What is that means. Please tell me if you know. Recently, I have a bad Alternlator replaced. And it makes me feel that the Quality of MB is not up to what I expected...

Most diag errors dont tend to be important, and in fact many dont even get logged to the dealer's diagnostic machine
That one means fault in can communication with cluster, and its only happened 2 times, probably as was trying to communicate as the starter was cranking etc.

You can clear the error list by holding mute and 0 together

Thank you for the other info !!

you can go into the tv tunner menu itself, by pressing the right hand knob of the command inward and select the country you are in. It should change it to menu's to English.

I imagine the TV tuner is coded with the wrong country in it [even with that very strange behaviour]
- it may be the "default language for COMAND" coding, or there may be one for the TV tuner itself (which is seperately programmed by Star Diagnosis using the COMAND unit as a gateway to the TV tuner

So I suspect a trip to a dealer with Star diagnosis to configure it is probably needed ...

Cheers

E55MKB, do you have the phone installed ? If so, your dealer didnt code your unit correctly ..

Thank you !!

That menu item started being displayed for mY2002 (or maybee MY2001) I think. The configuration item in star diagnosis that turns it on/off has always been there I think ....

Its actually "Instrument Cluster with self centering text"

If the text isnt properly centered in your phone/nav display then it needs the setting changed.

I know my CLK (MY2000) didnt have the self centering text, so this item was off. The MY2003 SL also doenst have self centering text.

Im not sure what vehicle has self centerintext, I guess there is one or two !
