2007 CL 550 Comand Upgrade
Can I upgrade the Comand System on my 2007 CL 550 so that it has all the features of the 2008 models? I'm in Los Angeles, Calif.
Thanks for any help.

Yeah its just a simple software update.Take it to the dealer and tell them to update COMAND under warranty. Most will do it, I had the folks at Laguna Niguel update The S550 and S600 to the latest COMAND revision.

I had mine upgraded and did not loose any rear view camera capability. The 3D view, is however a major step back, especially when you are navigating

Upgraded 2007 Comand to 2008 Capabilities
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. You just need to break his ***** a little bit to get him to visit your MB.
After much pointed cajoling and a fruitless trip to another dealer (who initially indicated they could do the upgrade but ended up doing squat) I was able to arrange a super double-secret upgrade of my 2007 CL 550's Comand system to the 2008 version which includes live traffic. Did not lose any existing functionality. My guess is that the resistance I encountered has everything to do with the dealers not wanting to be inundated with folks looking to upgrade as it may be a disincentive to buy a new vehicle sooner rather than later to acquire the latest technology.
