COMAND firmware update?

I'm about to take my W210 in for a schedule B service and I asked the SA at Mercedes of Alexandria, VA if there are any firmware updates for my COMAND so I can take full advantage of the 2005 Nav CD's. My SA looked at me as if I was speaking Greek and said as far as he knows, there's no such thing. I thought somewhere on this forum I read there are new updates which show the major roads even if the Nav CD is not for that particular region. My 2005 nav CD does not show my development although it was established in 2002, what gives?

The firmware update affects the functions of spelling the location. It also helps to remove some of the hardware bugs in the system.

The firmware update does not alter or enhance the map content.

Ok, found the post. https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...COMAND+updateI guess I should have asked for a COMAND SOFTWARE update. My local stealership should be able to handle this as long as the car is still under warranty right?

I bought the 2005 COMAND CD set from my dealer, and they performed the software update at no cost. They also didn't know about the latest update until I brought them a copy of the post.

Is there a version number for this software update? How can I check to see which version of the current software I have?
