Exclamation 06 Cls W219 Comand Unlocking [WILL PAY YOU FOR HELP]

Hey there,

I took delivery of my CLS 320 CDI yesterday and immediately bought the guide off eBay telling me how to unlock COMAND so it plays DVDs while the car is moving. However, I have tried many times to get into engineers mode using the MUTE + END CALL + SERVICE keys combination but to no avail. Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong or anything?

Thanks!

PS: I live in the UK so it's UK Spec.

IF ANYONE CAN GET THIS WORKING I WILL SEND YOU A GOOD FEW DOLLARS/POUNDS THROUGH PAYPAL!

command unlock

It's the same for my new CLS 320CDI, probably in the new models there's one upgrade of the software....

All above vendors are selling new or exchange unit for $1,500 or so. I hope and doubt they will able to teach you an eBay $30 unlock trick to make it works and compete with themself. On the other hand, I spoke with 2 of them and they told me the working unit like mine was involved hardware and software hack/change/upgrade. Once again I hope they are not using the same method and sold me and I can get it under $30 in eBay now. Please tell me if I am wrong...

Hello

I believe you have the updated version of comand and it's nav unit uses the latest dvd version 6.1 (NTG-2 version)
The engineering mode is removed from now on, so you have to stick with not watching dvd's while driving!

There has to be a way around this though...

I know that most people don't care about what we type as it usually is not what they want to read - but for those who do want to read it and are actually willing to believe it:

The euro comand (211, 219, 171) software has been updated again and one of the changes has been the HOW-TO-ENTER the developers menu on the comand so that the all-known Ebay selling method is no longer usefull (yes, mercedes does know what is going on on the web).
When one figures (s)he can outsmart mercedes by uploading the older software version into the comand so that the developers menu becomes available again one will find oneself left with a USELESS comand as the comand will NO LONGER accept discs after the software DOWNDATE!!!

If you can find a shop with a tool to versioncode the comand for TV & DVD in motion enabling, they can still help you out (no need to swap the EURO comand out - just get it coded), but that will cost more then a 30USD ebay guide (which only works on a limitted amount of comands anyways...but that is something that Ebay sellers usually don't bother to advertise).

use this info if you want or just plain ignore it like most people do

greetingz,

Here's your answer, I've already gone through this myself. You can't unlock the American version. It does not have the correct hardware that can be unlocked. That's why your unlock codes are not working. Without a hardware change, it's impossible. Basically, long story short, the European models have the Video capability, and the American's have satellite radio instead. $1,500 is a joke. I paid $1k for mine off eBay. I bought a Euro model already unlocked. Then sold my model back on eBay for $700.
