2008 CLS550 engineering menu code
Hello everyone,
I have a 2008 Mercedes CLS550 and I want to access engineering menu. The Command unit is the US version and there is a SAT button instead VIDEO. I tried Mute+Phone+Serv, and didn't work. Any idea what can be the code?

The major problem with the navigation is the house number does not accurately locate and the GPS shows in between house numbers which in Los Angeles that might be a block of looking for the exact number. Before the CLS I had a C320 which it didn't have factory navigation. I purchased a command unit on eBay and installed. It was the most accourate GPS ever. The only thoughts I have about this is for the C320 I used chinese aftermarket antenna which I also bought on eBay for $10. Do you think I I will disconnect the MB antenna and use those Chinese ones will resolve the issue?

MB did this on purpose for some reason. I know when you put HOME into your navigation, it is for safety precautions if your car gets stolen and the thief really can't find your house.

But this doesn't apply to only home address. This applies to any specific address that I input.
For example: 9250 Beverly Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
The navigation gives me a location between 9200 to 9300 Beverly Blvd.
It can not be for safety reason in any way because while the car won't take you to the exact location the GPS shows the exact address.

Drive change?
I have an 06 navigation command and the cd-slot just stopped working. I understand I can replace just the drive, could I use a dvd and gain at least dvd-mp3 capability?

ViM software possibly containing malware?
Hello everyone,
I've been reading up on all this VIM stuff due to that I just recently got a Benz which I'd like to enable VIM. However, with that said, the one thing that I'm concerned about is this fact of installing software into my car's computer without knowing what the code contains?
I say this due to that I'm in IT and also from what I've seen and hear on social media as well of other places, that modern computer controlled cars are at risk of being tracked through GPS, hacked and granting access to that car's controls or even being infected with malware making the software controls on the car's computer acted up and malfunction which could lead to a risk of an accident? These are very serious concerns due to that infecting a car's computer could lead to many issues and problems.
Now with that said, does anyone know or is anyone else having any of these same concerns about whether or not these companies are legit and that if they are only handing out software code which is clean and free of any hacking (R.A.T) tools or malware implications?
If there was a way for me to be able to scan the software for any of these implications, I would feel more at ease about using their software, but also I'm at a cross road of wanting the VIM also on my car.

You seem to be lost, are you in the correct forum for your vehicle and have you taken any unmarked pills recently?

I bought mine from the eBay seller worldwidesounds. I believe he is in Portugal. Excellent customer service. I bought it and received it in DC two days later. I had a couple issues with figuring out wiring and he emailed and sent videos to help. Extremely nice person.

You don't list the year of your car or headunit so check out to see what you need or if he has it.
I have the NTG2.5 headunit. There is one on eBay for the 2.5 for cheap.

At $85 you can't go wrong if your headunit is NTG2.5.
