I'm still waiting for my 2002 C32 to be delivered and as I was going over the photo's again I noticed another lever on the top right of the control column/steering wheel, does anyone know what it's for, is it for the voice control module?
Thanks
Ian

Thanks, it looks I'll have another toy to play with

Yes, u'll have fun playing with this toy. It's for voice command.
You could just say "CD track 5", or "Dial home", or "Radio" etc etc.
The voice command is most useful for phone, I hope your car is equipped with one.

voice command is alot of fun..... you just need to figure out the commands...... but u will have alot of fuN!

Not sure about the phone, I'll find out when it arrives but I think it's going to be a long term issue to resolve as I have a Treo 600 phone so I either need to get a duplicate sim and install it in one of the supported phones or look for a different way to connect my phone into the car.

I have more fun with navi. I usually tell it to show me the shortest route to somewhere and it leads me through streets and neighborhood that I've never been before. Consider it sightseeing.

Expat

I know but I'll have to add the Nav added later as the car I'm getting doesn't have it (yet!)

Expat

Anyone know if the VCS can be used to control the Nav, if so how much (zoom in/out etc.)

Get the euro navi. It plays DVD movies.

True "THAT" I need to replace my current nav and get the Euro one

JohnCL

NAV for the 2002 is CD based and it will not play DVD movies without extra expensive hardware. I think that there is some type of video output device that can be used on a Euro COMAND, and there is a TV tuner module. Straight euro NAV for an '02 will not play DVD's

Expat

Not really interested in playing DVDs we have a screen in the SUV for that, what I want/need is the navigation, I'm leaning towards the Euro but to be honest price will probably be the main determining factor.

JohnCL

I got mine from Steve (a sponsor on this board) and you can email him at steve@mbenznl.com and get pricing and installation information. I got the Euro model and you can find the differences in the euro/us models from his website. www.mbenznl.com His site is full of lots of valuable information.

Thanks I've been checking it out.

How hard is it to find a Nav CD for California, I've been looking on eBay but haven't seen any for my area.

JohnCL

Those get grabbed up pretty quick. I bought all of mine from an eBay seller and they have all been perfect. I will PM you his details of you are interested. He always has something available.

Well you could burn him a copy couldnt you ?

Expat

Thanks, does MB still sell them (if I get desperate?)

JohnCL

You can always get them from the dealer, but they go for $275 for the set here.

Eeek!

Im such a tard. I just figured out that I have the voice command lever. I swear Ive never seen it there before. Its like it just grew out of the steering column yesterday....wierd. I then looked in my owners manual for more guidance but there isnt much. It says to refer to seperate instructions.

Question: Is there somewhere I can get a list of commands for this newly discovered gadget? Or the ins and outs of how to use it.

Thanks
