Say your car is stolen while you are at work. The thief hits the "home" button, the car navigates him to your empty house so he can rob it..
Therefore no street addresses, just streets.

Heard it may be some kind of liability thingy:

COMAND head unit service DVD special tool W211 589 14 22 00
Navigation module/processor service DVD special tool W211 589 15 22 00
I would recommend both unless you know for sure the COMAND is up to date.
A big thanks to Konigstiger for posting the DVD part numbers originally.

Info again thanks to Konigstiger.
Telephone book entries are not completely downloaded into the head unit. The head unit may now handle up to 600 telephone book entries.
• Remedy for destination entry in navigation: Intermittently, the user cannot enter a destination and Navi goes back to the base screen.
• During start up, the head unit displays a certain radio station but actually plays another station within the same or different frequency band.
• When the user is in radio mode, the station switches on its own usually to the lowest frequency or to the first preset if they are stored by the user.
• Head unit resets (turns OFF and back ON).
• Head unit hangs up and possibly resets during a telephone book down load in vehicles equipped with a Cellular Telephone System.
• While the vehicles is running, the user cannot load an audio disc into the head unit Compact Disc (CD) player, or if the disc is accepted, it may not be played unless the ignition is turned OFF and then ON allowing MOST and CAN buses to go to sleep.
• Intermittent audio not available at system start up for up to 30 seconds and the MB star hangs up on the head unit display.

btw, the latest COMAND navi does use individual street addresses. And if you're that paranoid, then just don't plug in your street address as 'home.' Leave it blank. Or erase it after you're done. Simple.
Anyway, the thief needs to know how to even find the address thru COMAND's dizzying maze of buttons and options. But by then he and his cronies would have stripped the car into nice little parts already.

http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INT...hedWelcomePage and simply loads into navigation processor in trunk.
If your navigation processor does not recognize v.9.0 or DVD does not operate properly, you will then need to update the processor with service disc (special tool) 211589152200, update procedure:
- Park the vehicle in an area where there is unobstructed view of the GPS satellites
- Turn ignition ON, Head Unit ON press the MAP hardkey
- In the trunk, locate the Navigation Module on left side eject the existing navigation DVD
- Insert Service Update DVD; wait about 20 seconds the update process starts automatically
- After about 4 minutes the update process is complete, eject the Service Update DVD
- Insert the latest Navigation Database DVD, you will notice the progress bars on the head unit, this indicates the new Navigation Database DVD is loading successfully
- When the update process is complete, turn ignition OFF and wait about 3 minutes
- Turn the ignition ON allow the Navi to warm-start and acquire the satellites
- Check Navi for correct operation by entering a destination
If in addition you want to update your head unit software (adds reliability, ETA & telephone signal strength to display, and navigation voice mutes with MUTE button), you will need to purchase service disc (special tool) 211589142200 or if not available 211589152200, update process:
- Power up the COMAND head unit and select “Radio” mode, with CD empty
- Press and release the Key Combination (1, 3, and 8) on the head unit simultaneously
- When prompted, insert the Service Update Disc into the head unit disc player
- Wait a few seconds while the head unit detects the disc, you may be prompted to accept the software update. Press “OK” hardkey to start the update process
- When the update is complete, the head unit will eject the disc remove the disc and wait, as the head unit will automatically reboot. The update process is now complete.
Lastly, some dealers and online resources refuse to sell the “special tool” service discs you can either try another dealer or contact fellow member Rob https://mbworld.org/forums/members/28130-kybenz.html or moderator Brenton https://mbworld.org/forums/members/1...r-brenton.html
