Euro Command
I bought a european command system. will it work in the US? do i use the same navigation disc?
i know that i need to use another wire for the navigation and reset the system for the US command.

Nothing MB related (sorry)
When was your CLK manufactured? If it's pre 2005 you will need the CD-rom based comand. If it's 2005+, the car is MOST based, meaning that a Euro DVD comand will be useless in the US (when it comes to navigation).

[QUOTE=MBenzNL]NO, it is because european DVD comands are manufactured by Becker and US ones are manufactured by alpine...different manufacturers - different software

We are taking European delivery for a CLK550 Cab on 10/23. I'm told the delivery center does not have European map DVDs to loan for this system. So, if I want to use the NAV system, I will have to find and procure a European map DVD on my own.
Would you, or anyone else for that matter, know where I can get a European map DVD for an Alpine unit in a CLK550 that can be purchased? I reckon it will be a few hundred Euros. A little pricey for a few weeks worth of use, but it'll make a nice souvenier! Besides, Mrs. Danke is a wonderful person, but a terrible navigator as she can't read a map. It'll be worth whatever it cost.
