The MB dealers used to be able to do it, but their diagnostic systems (Star diagnosis) after around 6/2002 can no longer do it.
If you find a dealer willing to install the old 5/2002 software on their star diagnosis they can do it.
I also know how to do it (with a program I wrote and some hardware you buy), but unless you're into Linux and understand bits and bytes the answer is "its very hard to do"
nav-tv.co.uk is advertising they can do it in the UK. If its connected to the USA "nav-tv", then they can do it - I dont know if they are doing it by modifying comand - or hopefully they are using my "this is what ive worked out on the COMAND diagnostic interface" document and some hardware suitable for talking to the car's diagnostic connector
If I come to the next MB UK get to gether, i'll bring the kit to do it, and anyone who wants it can type the magic sequence into my laptop ...
Cheers
