Mingo what did you ask them with regards to the upgrade? Did you go in for a A or B service and ask them to make sure to load the latest firmware upgrades? If you do that, then they typically will load the latest firmware.

i service my car myself so it was in there for warranty repairs. the passenger side led turn signal in the tail lamp stopped working.

i told them that my music would take up to 2 minutes to load when i first start the car (true story). and that the aux volume was low..

i told them that a new firmware was out and asked that they updated it. they claimed that looked for it and according to their diagnostic system, i do already have the latest firmware. i believe my firmware update was done 2-3 months ago.

I asked them about the traffic update and they couldn't find anything either. the techs rely heavily on vin to diagnose anything.

btw my car is a 2008 c350. with the p2 and mm package

Havnt tried aux input at all in my car, but one thing I noticed the other day is that the DVD video playback audio has with the new FW improved greatly, before I had to turn up the volume pretty darn high just to be scared ****less when swapping over to the memory card or radio

Yes, the way MBz does it is that you cannot get the Dealers to download and install any features that were not factory installed apparently. They are worried about liability if something goes wrong. That is why 3 dealers would not download and enable the NAV option on my IC. I spent more money on rental cars than anything in service those 3 days.

I tried mine and it works but I really do not have much use for it with a memory card and CDs, and DVDs.

I read the thread with interest and I would be interested in getting a copy of DVD to upgrade my comand system. I read it also introduces TMC pro here for Germany and that is much better the 'normal' TMC as that is often behind the facts.
Could you give me a download link iether in the thread or via PM?

Thank is advance

I will check to see if they are willing to do the update even if you are not experiencing issues - but more for the motive of having the latest.
woedee, were you ever able to get the FW update? if so, would you mind sharing which dealer you went to please. i'm in 213 as well=)

I was able to get the update from Penske Mercedes. I told them that my iPod had a low volume and showed it to them.

They graciously upgraded to the latest firmware with the Volume Boost as well.

Can you tell what the version number of yours is from the Engineering Menu?

I had the car at the dealer in June and they said they applied updates to both the Command unit and my TCU.

Here's what mine says

Does anyone know what the latest version is so that I can check mine in the Engineering menu to determine if I need an upgrade?

FL: BLD-NR-204 1.43
Navi: 01.14.08_US
CPU Ver: 10200:00
SWDL Ver: 91.15.01

Mine look to be a little different from yours. FL ver and CPU ver seems to be the same, but the others are different. Can anyone find out what the latest versions are?
