Ok, first this question.
The gps shows you are in England but does it respond or move when you move?
Meaning it could simply be that the connection from the antenna is broken for somereason.
In other words, does it show you are connected to satellites?

Wrong. This is what Taimoor must have been after, if your Comand shows you are moving but the location is not right, it is the antenna.
Did you check how many satellites it receives as suggested? The question mainly being if it is "0" or "-".

Now that you have lost your satellite connection because of the bad antenna or disconnected antenna cable, the navi unit is working with gyros only. The error accumulates and after a while the unit shows you being at a wrong place. The incremental movements are still pretty accurate, just that the reference position is not accurate any more.
I don't have the same navi as you have but you should find a system menu or something where you can find how many satellites the unit can track. Use your Comand manual if the menus do not seem to have that info.
If it shows "0", the antenna is broken. If it shows "-", it is the cable (could be the antenna but more likely the cable).

The GPS antenna should be at the top of the tailgate, below the plastic panel.
The navi processor should be at the left, behind the panel at the trunk (you know where you put the DVD).
If you can try with another temporary GPS antenna attached directly to the navi processor, that would help. Just need to let it see the sky for quite a while.

Issybus - did you ever take the DVD drive out of it's bracket in the trunk?? If so you might have damaged the antenna . I emailed you this web site that has info on COMAND navigation and other info. http://www.mercedestechstore.com/pdfs/index.htm

I'm still guessing it is the antenna, I've seen it go both on the sedan (where it is more affected by rain etc.) and the wagon.
I guess you mean the antenna cable may have broken if the navi processor has been removed? This must be possible but in this case the HU should typically show "-" for the number of satellites.

Diesel, I sent Issybus under section #416 Mod 3.2W W211 (3rd from the bottom). Also I see that there is an antenna splitter #416 HO Navigation (4th from the top). That might be the cause. I also suggested to him that he go to the dealer and have them run the COMAND through the computer. At this point I think he is looking for a needle in stack.

I've never heard the splitter being faulty but a disconnected cable could always be an issue.
Fine if you gave more accurate directions with the documents, I just could not see that from your post.

Didn't know about Tele-Aid. I don't have it on my vehicle. Sorry about the directions.
By the way do you happen to know the difference in the new COMAND update. The last one I have installed is W211 589 14 22 00. The new one is W211 589 15 22 00. My local MB dealer has no idea!

"14" is for a US Comand. "15" is for the Navi processor (common for ECE and US). What a shame if your workshop does not know the difference.

yesterday i payed 650euros for the repair included a new dvd of europe because the other one didn't work good.
