Updates to Comand
I searched the forum and could not find a definitive answer anywhere so hoping someone can help with updated information.
I have a '12 C250 with the Harmon Kardon system and NAV and I want to update my firmware so I can have the COMAND system to the 2013+ black/silver color from the ugly duckling yellow/brownish color. I also want access to the apps and COMAND online if possible. Does anyone know if this is possible? Most of the other threads I saw say it is possible and some dealers will do it, but most don't know how or won't do it for liability purposes. I'm out of warranty so I'm curious on the price if someone has had any luck. I'm unsure what firmware version I have (does anyone know how to find out? I think it's either NTG4 or NTG4.5). I bought my car used in '15 so I doubt it's ever been updated.
If someone has the ability and in the Northeast USA (I'm in Jersey), let me know I can drive to you (and pay you
. Thanks!

Once, I read in a thread that there was a way to do it from the engineering menu on some later models. I do not remember exactly how but in an engineering menu, you could choose from both color options for the Command system. You won't be able to change the color scheme on the instrument cluster LCD, though.
Personally, I prefer the yellow/brown color scheme because it looks more stylish and calm to me.

But I'm still interested in updating though to rid the colors and hopefully pick up some more functionality along the way if possible.
