Comand secret engineering menu?

I have the Nav/Audio system with the folding screen, and my "engineering menu" looks completely different. It seems to only offer viewing of settings, software versions, etc, but no option to make any changes.
Also, although the header of the screen says page 1/2, there doesn't seem to be any way to get to page 2. And there is no Return button - the only way I could figure out how to get back to standard mode is to shut off the system and then turn it on again.

to exit the menu, click down to page 2 and exit is the last option.
when you first enter, select an option by clicking down, and then selecting sub-menus within. to get back to the root menu, click back, and to exit, go to page two of the root menu and select the last option.
hope this helps

Yeah there is no option that I could find for the MM package Engineering Mode.
It shows:
Engineering Mode (1/2)
1, Display
2. HU Diag
3. HU Info
4. Most Info
5. History Info
6. SW Setting
7. HW Setting
Engineering Mode (2/2)
8. Update
9. System Reset
10 Press Tour
End

IMO, the W204 COMAND is soo dated - who in the world uses pcmcia slots? no rds traffic in the US? no hd radio? To add insult to injury, the overall GUI looks lame.

PCMCIA slots are great, lets you use any kind of memory card you want, what do you think it should be instead??
TMC works everywhere except US
HD radio isnt used in the rest of the world
Whats wrong with the GUI, is it lame just because its simple and easy to use?
Preffer this over any crappy Lexus or BMW.s I-Drive (what a joke )

Thanks for the tip everyone.
Just tried it and it works. I always found that the preset max volume was low. I was not able to find any setting to increase the AUX volume though.
Besides the volume adjustment I couldnt find any other useful things in this, did I miss anything? light was already at its highest setting. BT seems to be all accesable from the normal system access.
Any more secrets?

According to the latest info I was able to find from TMC Forum it should be arriving at 2007 to Australia.
The alarming issue is that they have last time updated this info at 2004.![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Probably some better source would exist today.

Currently TMC is provided by this company via FM frequence (encrypted ) is that why Comand can't receive the singal and possibly a future firmware update could fix it?

Why oh why not include traffic via rds in the US? Some of the worlds most busyest highways are found here.
HD radio is a personal preference over regular radio, and to an extent, satellite (no subscription fees

The Gui could use a facelift. Again, In My Opinion, its dated - I would prefer something similar to that found on Acura & Lexus). You are entitled to disagree.

Should have been multi-card slot for media that is more common, that the consumer already likely to have, and more widely available today (mmc sd ms, etc).

Pressed Update button by mistake.
I've pressed an update button by mistake, and was asked for a CD. I turned Comand off but had to do a few Power Ups and Downs before this screen cleared. Heve I messeed up something?
Actually almost every option that is not grayed out can be altered, when you click on them with the console switch they will show you the options - notice on this page in pic, the selections that are no lighted cannot be accessed witout SCN coding with StarDiagrnosis and being online with MBZ, the other 5 lighted options can be selected and altered. - do not mess with Update unless you have the DVDs to perform that update.
