COMAND /Becker APS 2004/05 Faults

The new Becker Comand APS has several faults that Mercedes Benz cant fix yet.

In the UK the Dynamic Route Guidance does not work.

The navigation gives wrong audio instructions at roundabouts, but the visual instructions are ok.

The navigation gives late exit comands on roundabouts causing you to miss the turning

My C Class now has an MB case number. I have told there is no fix Going for a full refund on the Comand nav now.

Also the new Harmon Kardon sound system is crap compared to the old Bose.

And you can't get TV or AV or DVD on the Comand head unit...

erm...you cannot show and talk about a W211 setup when it concerns a W203!!!

The W203 DVD comands are like the W169 and the W209 DVD comands and are completely different compared to the W211, W219 and R171 comands...you - of all people - should know!

TV on a W203 euro DVD comand IS possible though...DVD (video) can be fed into the W203 euro DVD comand through that TV tuner but is NOT possible from the headunit...

greetingz,
