Comand APS configuration RDS European frequencies

Hi there,

I just brought my new C-Class with Comand APS (US version) system to Europe.

Can I change the radio to European frequencies?

Can I activate the RDS function?

Thanks

You mean a W204? What about the Comand APS?

Yes the W204.
Europe has different FM frequency ranges and intervals to the US.
Is it possible to change these setting with Star Diagnose?

FM frequency range is the same. Only spacing is different AFAIK; .15 instead of .2. Are you experiencing problems with that?

Yes, because I can't tune in every station.
Do you know if it's possible to activate the RDS function?

I did not check for the W204 but usually you can set the radio channel raster with SDS.

But what I asked was if the US Comand is compatible with European maps? At least the part number is different from the European Comand APS for W204.
