UK W204 COMAND DAB issue
Hi, hoping someone can help. Yesterday, I installed COMAND in my w204. All working fine so far. However, on my Audio 20 unit I had DAB radio. My understanding is that this is fitted in addition to the HU. I therefore believed it would just work on the COMAND. It doesn't. I have accessed engineering menu. It shows DAB 'not installed' and if I go to the AUDIO option the FM LW etc are in black, but DAB is greyed out. I can't seem to find anyway of activating it.
Am I going to have to go to the dealer to have it SCN coded?
As an aside, before I removed Audio 20, I was trying to load a CD. It asked if I wanted to load all and then displayed 6 discs on the screen. Does that mean it's a 6 disc system? There is no external box, just the HU. I only just bought the car.
Thanks in anticipation.
