Need MB dealer to update Nav in Fl.

Just installed a comand that I got from Steve. Installation was a breeze and everything works great. I went to MB of FTL and asked them to update the car to display the nav in the dash. They seamed to think that the comand software needed to be updated (which they say takes 3 hours, NOT!!!). So I am looking for a MB dealership in So. Florida that knows what they are doing. Anybody had their car updated, if so which dealership and who was service tech? Thanks....

.........this issue comes up frequently and has a simple answer.........in North America, there is NO MB dealer that knows anything about comand other than what it says in your manual........no, wait a minute.........They don't know that either.

When I got my COMAND from Steve, I just went to my dealership and told them that my instrument cluster was not displying the COMAND indications anymore. They didn't say a word and just enabled it using the StarDiag. And yeahh... most of dealers don't know ***** !!!!!
Good luck !!

...there most probably isn't a single US dealership who will eb able to update a euro comand system...whatever comand I ship out (euro or US) comes with the latest software version.

Steve, can the 00-02 Comand on the S Class be upgraded to the 2003 CD Widescreen version of the Comand? If so, how easy? THanks!
