Retrofit COMAND NTG2 w203

I have bought a Comand ntg2 headunit to replace my Audio 50 APS, the unit starts but it just shows the Mercedes-Benz logo for maybe 15sec and then shuts down. My car dont have cd-changer or phone but the car the unit came from had phone, is that the problem? And what do i do about it? Do i have to leave it to the dealer or can i fix this myself?

Its a euro -06 c280

You have a faulty nav unit. That was the case with mine for a while. The nav unit can be replaced/ fixed separately, it detaches from the head unit. Mine was bricked by a software issue, got one off ebay for 50 bux, smooth sailing ever since. I had the exact same symptoms.

I have read alot about the open fiberring MOST and that must be the problem with my unit. https://www.commandonline.co.uk/most-loop-tool.html can this be plugged in to the back of the unit to solve the problem? If not is there some other soloution i can do before i go to the dealer with my car?

Looks like you have an open loop...and yes, that loop bypass will help you isolate the problem. Good luck..

Thanks but does it fit in the back of my unit or does it go in the other end by the cd-changer or phone? If it does its not gonna fit my car.

It bypasses the device, ie it plugs into the harness...
