Angry W204-2008 model. NAVI option missing after reset and cannot go into ECM mode.


Hi guys

i had done reset in system setting and changes done to bring the FM frequency for UAE. I have japan imported c250
now following issues have cropped up.
1. I cannot see NAVI on display
2. I cannot rotate the command dial to reach a frequency manually
3. I cannot enter the engineering mode by pressing Hangup+1+# to undo the changes. Pressong
hangup button takes me to COMTEL mode.
4. I had installed the backup camera and now cannot activate that as well bcos I cannot go into ECM MOde.


The frequency was only until 98 htz but now 107htz. But I cannot select a frequency manually by rotating the command dial.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
