Beat me to it Traumatic, I was going to ask the same thing.

If this option can no longer be accessed then a quick trip to the dealership and it can be reinstated by the STAR diagnostic equipment.

Just did my update today--pretty painless, although the "erasing flash memory" message is a bit disturbing.

Can now see the phone bars with the map, which was my major desire. Don't use nav much but like to watch the map.

Can you check to see if your passenger can input new locations while in motion?

I am also very interested in the operation "after" the update....

starbrite

Or, anyone with an '07, please chime in with the answer. (Barry?)

looking for an update on "can addresses be entered while in motion with the new upgrade with US head units?" (asking for my moms car)

Diesel Benz

I assume this is a W211 car, on the new ones, you can allow navi entry with a DAS setting. I assume this is not allowed in the US by default and then perhaps not all dealers want to change it but that is a different thing and you know this better than myself. I doubt any SW upgrade would change this setting, not at least from "not allowed" to "allowed".

sgaar

Sorry, had a busy weekend. But the good news is that you can still enter a new addess while in motion. The update hasn't disabled that functionality.

Lucky devils We have to make a special journey to the dealership to get ours reactivated


Thanks for the update

So to be clear the Euro update disables using it while moving, but the North America update does not?

starbrite

That's correct

konigstiger

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey guys, if your dealer gives you a song and dance for instance the software does not directly apply to your head unit and will cause malfunctions (of course we already know better) or by chance they hit you with MBUSA has not released a bulletin requiring this update for your vehicle your counter should be: “My specific complaint is that I want, pick and choose your choice(s), the following feature(s) displayed as is standard on MY08 for which a Service Disk was released JAN07.” Reason being MBUSA will not refuse a warranty repair for a specific complaint addressed by an already released service disc.

Service Disc # W211 589 14 22 00 released 1/18/07; Navigation voice can be muted with MUTE button, ETA display, and/or telephone signal strength status.

jmorgis

Excellent recommendation, or you can also just take that # W211 589 14 22 00 and walk over to the parts desk and order yourself one..

jmorgis

I would not try to do brain surgery with a US doctor on a Euro patient.

See post #47....

I stop at the parts department and I showed them the part # the parts guy told me the its a service tool and its not for sale. However since I have appointment next tuesday I will have to ask the SA and he can have a tech take care of it for me.

so I have to put it on my to do list for tuesday...lol

yikes

i just tried to get this done at my local dealer silver star motors in queens ny. the sa says this is not a warranty issue pertainning to my car and vin. he says it would show up on his computers if it was... bottom line..it was not done...i got a feeling this guy does not know much about these things...my car is still there for an unrelated issue...so if someone can give me something to tell the guy to convince him that this is indeed a free service..im stuck

starbrite

See post # 64 above.

jmorgis

Im worried about the same thing, as my 2003 E320 did not even come with COMAND, i had the Audio50 and updated to Comand and NAV myself. So my VIN will not reflect the correct range for this update. I guess this is where your relationship with your SA will help...I hope

yikes

i got around the sa....went to the saleman who i bought 2 new cars in 13 months.......in the end..ill get my way despite the know nothing sa

Latest USA comand update SW46/06:

konigstiger

MBUSA upgrade has been installed and is the best thing since sliced bread, well until the next upgrade is released. All works fine as advertised. I now have the choice to have either GPS or ETA displayed below the map, can mute the navigation babe, enter locales in motion, etc. Looks as though nothing has been eliminated from the previous version and to circumvent the inevitable, I could not have less interest in secret codes. BTW, disc was readily available and SA, lead tech, and shop foreman were cooperative, you take it from there.
