COMAND system compatibility
I'm about to purchase a C230K SS with COMAND, it is possible that I'll move to Europe next year and take the car with me. Does anyone know if the US spec COMAND system is compatible with European navigation DVD's?
Has anyone seen a list of differences between an European and US C230K SS?

pre 2005 US spec comands cannot tune into half of the european FM frequencies because the US comands tune in per 0.2 MHz instead of 0.1 MHz which is what is used in europe.
2005US spec comands are actually MCS II units manufactured by alpine and there are NO european nav discs available for MCS or MCS II units...
