I have a question on Voice control in relation to navigation. Bascially when i try the voice comand in the navi menu it always starts with a statements "Whole word entry not possible, please spell the town", to me it is always not possible to allow me say the town?. This is australia maps i am referring to.
Cheers

Dont know at all, but I think that its only the US that have access to whole word entry with streets, districts and towns.

Nuru - where do you set this? Went thru the console settings as well as engineering menus but dont find such an option. I'd prefer that my screen stays up all the time rather than open/close with the key. Thx.

Sorry, I don't the MM package I mean the cover that goes up and down over the screen. Mines not automatic when i turn my car off like what noticed in Vics video. Is this standard on later w204s?

Hm, does your display look like this: http://www.geting.se/viewimage.php?i...6-IMG_2688.JPG ?
In that case you have the Audio 20 or APS 50 system, the screen cover is completely manual on these systems.

But what if you call another dealer somewheere in the US, a large one in a major city?
Ask some of these dealers and see if you can get some answers.

Vic, Yeah, I am going to try one more dealer in the area. Then, I will try something else. At some point it will get done.

I have had it open and stay open between car off and on sequences, but I have not done that in a while.

I have seen someone looking into this trying to find the boot picture, but I think its hopeless as I assume that the picture is embedded in the EPROM.

C230 W204 with C63 Kit Package
WOW. Great job. This confirms that buying out of eBay's COMAND unit is not a straight-forward swap then? Correct? Many other parts must be obtained.

The up side is now I fully understand how the system works and it is a DIY project which is priceless.

Would you be able to tell the difference between the too. I have incorrectly ordered 808.
THanks

No I am afraid I do not know the difference between the two, but if the one you bought wont fit then it must be the other one right?

I have seen pics of Audio20 units using the 7" display and it doesnt look good, the resolutions dont add upp and it looks pretty strange.
Regarding the Comand system w/o navigation I bet that they are using a different HU without the GPS and voice control parts.
