Guys...

I'd like to say THANKS to everyone (especially Richard from England, Steve from Netherland, Rumman from Austria, and Bob from England) who helped me in giving guidance, suggestion, advice during my COMAND installation.

thanks Lynn and Steve for the Euro--> US time change

Finally it works!..

It took longer than I originally thought but I confirmed that COMAND 463 of G Wagon can be made to work and function flawlessly in W203 with addition of speed pulse wiring AND correct connections.

I got few more questions though:

1. Sometimes while I was at the parking lot/parking deck, after entering the destination address, it would say 'OFF ROAD'; however as soon as I drove a bit further, the British Lady would start giving the right direction....(I love to see this to work after a week delay)

Is this normal??

2. how can I remove the red text 'TP' on my screen (Euro traffic info)?

3. Is it possible that the COMAND installation creating more static on the radio station? (or maybe just the area reception which was not good while I was listening to the radio channels)

4. What kind of changes do I expect to see if I insert a BOSCH Update CD for COMAND?

thanks again guys!!

from the g wagon? do you have pics?

aerodragon

hi..yup it's from G wagon..463..

it may take a while before I can post pics..because I don't have a digital camera with me at the moment..sorry..

will post it though at one point..

dont worry about the "you are not on a digitized road" message.

I started my car and turned on my comand while in our driveway and it gave that message. Just means that you're not on a road that you can literally drive through. After I pulled out of the driveway, we were set.

Congrats on the install.

thanks for the info...

Aerodragon -

Can you detail what modifications need to be made to get the 463 COMAND to work in the C-Class? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

aerodragon

hi,

you need to connect an additional speed pulse (plug 24 pin 3 to plug c2 pin6) to make the G wagon comand works in c class.
did you buy one yet?

davidasman

Thanks! No I haven't picked one up yet, but I have noticed that the 463's seem to be much more readily available and cheaper than the 203's... So if they both work, I'd rather by the 463 and spend the rest on some other goodies... DVD player, Sat. Radio, etc...

One of the known comand flaws and one of those things that actually might be solved with the software update...

What was wrong with your installed comand that made it not functional for days?

greetingz,

aerodragon

steve,

a bit off topic but how long should I leave the Update Bosch CD inside my Comand for complete update?

it was the speedpulse (wrong pin)...sorry for the many emails and thanks again for your help....

MBenzNL

approx 45 minutes...the update will tell you when it is ready...the car is definitely NOT to be used in anyway during this update

greetingz,

aerodragon

will this not 'eat up' my battery to have it ON all the time?

where did you get the update cd
