Use of Comand MCS2 in Europe
Hi,
I own a GL320 cdi with a Comand Navigation System (MCS2). I have moved to Europe and took the car with me. In Europe they use the Comand APS Navigation System. Everything in my Comand works (radio, camera, bluetooth, compass), but when I try to use the European DVD it doesn´t work. Somebody told me that it´s because the diffreences between MCS2 and APS. Does anybody know where could I get a MCS2 DVD with European maps, or how to solve it??
Thanks in advance
Rod

If you look at the map DVDs available for Europe, there is none for the US MCS headunit. Actually why would they put a different unit to the US cars if it was capable of using European map discs.
I'm afraid the only option is to swap the head unit to a European Comand APS.
By the way, does your radio work with the Euro channel raster? What about playing DVD movies, did you have it changed for region code 2 (or does the US HU play DVD movies?).
