How to get MB star on my nav screen?

I have seen a few pics of this, and am wondering if it is possible to get the MB symbol and name to show on my nav screen in my 2000 S500. Any help is appreciated.

You might check with your dealer for a firmware upgrade.

Ask Steve MBenzNL. He programed my COMMAND to show the MB Star and "MBenzNL" when I turn it on.

Good luck,

E430guy, do you know what year your COMAND is? Is it US or Euro?
Thanks

His is euro...but that doesn't make any difference...there are US and Euro updated CDs for every single comand...(except for some euro spec old 210 units that don't take the update CD)...

It was a software related change...I bought that "feature" from someone who actually was involved in the engineering of the comands a few years back...it costs a bit though...

Steve when you say quite a bit, roughly how much? And If I bought this software myself is it quite easy to do?
