Nothing MB related (sorry)
The Euro CD-rom comands have 'issues' with AM. Not severe, but the stations tune in differently compared to US spec units. (9 KHz vs 10 KHz).
Guess that is what you have been reading.![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Is there a CD-ROM based Euro COMAND for the 211? I thought the first European COMAND's for the 211 were fitted in estate cars? These were DVD based with version 3 DVD's?
In Europe AM or MW is not popular and we all listen to FM, so it is possible someone was critical of MW reception??

No, there are no CD-rom based comands for the W211. I was just referring to the CD-rom comands in general (Euro specs) for the W203s (pre facelifted), W208s, W209s (pre facelifted), W210s...
Hmm, should have been more specific in the first place...

You can buy it from anywhere you want. As long as you get the correct model number. There's a thread that gives u a break down of all the different model numbers. The only thing is the risk you take from buying from someone on FleaBay. I installed my eurocommand unit in less than 10 minutes.

Kevin, technicall speaking yes. If you're ordering it from EU, the settings should be set to default to play video/mp3 already. Well at least mine did.

? 2006 US to Euro swap
Does anyone know if you can switch the US Command for the Euro command in the 2006 ML. And if you can will the Nav system operate the same. Also is Nav disabled when watching dvds as there is only one slot of the DVD?????

You made me google map Torquay!
Now that I am more geographically knowledgeable, I see you are truly the tick on the dog's rear in the UK. If this were the fifteenth century, we would think you were about to fall off the map!

The south-west coast, just like the rest of Great Britain is steeped in history. Brixham, which forms part of the English Riviera is where Prince William of Orange and his invading army landed. Then of course if you head further westward you come to Plymouth which was a major point of departure for our 'undesirables that we booted out.

On a more serious note, the 'dog's rear end' is in my opinion a very beautiful part of our very small island and tends to have a more mild climate compared to other 'less fortunate' areas. Palm trees and other tropical type plants which grow all year round in our gardens perhaps being proof of this.
Please take this post in the spirit it is meant, it is just a friendly response to being called the dogs do-berries

Well received!!
John, I had actually just seen a documentary on the William of Orange invasion. I found it quite interesting. Just as I did finding out where Torquay is.
