Do I have NAV??

I just bought a beautiful 2002 CLK430 Cabriolet. I love the car dearly already. The dealer I bought it from had no idea about its features (didn't even know it had a changer in the trunk), and didn't know if it has NAV. It has the large color COMAND display in the dash, and when I hit the NAV button it says it can't find a NAV disc in the drive. The car has what looks like a GPS receiver on the trunk. I was going to order a set of navigation CDs off eBay but I wondered how I can tell that the car will work with them. Which drive would the CDs go in?

Also, where can I find reference for the voice commands the system accepts? Mine has the voice command stuff in it.

Thanks for your help! I've gotten a lot from the forums already.

Yes, you have navigation, you just need to purchase a disk. The latest revision is the 2004 disc. The navigation CD goes in the drive on the COMAND unit itself.

As for voice activation, I can't help you with that yet, I haven't installed my linguatronic unit yet :0)

You guys are great! Found the CDs in the spare-tire compartment and the nav works beautifully. The voice also works very well. Thanks again!

Only if you have Linguatronic...and even then all you can do is select NAV just as you would select the CD player. There are no voice commands beyond that. Linguatronic's most usefull in that it integrates beautifully with the phone.

On mine (a 2002) I have a lever on the right side of the steering column. When you pull it, the radio goes silent and there is a beep. If you say 'help' the system will walk you through its commands. If you push forward, a voice will say 'Canceled' and the radio will come back on.
