You have a European specification head unit. See http://www.mercupgrades.com

In many cases, the Euro COMAND units were installed to permit viewing of DVD video. They are usually able to tune radio stations at European intervals, and may not be able to tune all U.S. stations.

Search the forums for posts by MBENZNL and BigSis for more.

All I really want is Satellite. Really no need for Video. If I had kids around still, then it might be nice in the back seats (of our sedan), but that is not an issue anymore.
