NAVIGATION PROBLEM: US VERSION CANNOT READ MIDDLE EAST DVD MAP

Hi Guys,

I just bought a US made GL 450 (2007) but the navigation cannot read the Middle East Navigation DVD MAP. Apparently, this is a problem of difference between US and European systems. Has anyone managed to resolve this problem, except as changing the command system? Please, advise! Can the Middle East DVD be re-recorded in some way as to make the US Command System to read it?

I'm afraid your options are to swap the car to a European/local one or swap the head unit.

Do a search in W203 C-class section, there's a thread on hacking the US Nav. DVD's for European COMAND. It might help.
