Will US Nav-DVD work in Euro-COMAND?
Hi,
title says it all... can I use the US Nav-DVD in my Euro-COMAND System (not just the headunit, everything is Euro).
Thanks
Michael

I second that: Yes!
The DVD is nothing more than data (in simplistic terms); the software on the headunit is what determines how it is interpreted.

Hm... I then will give it a try once I get a chance to test a US-DVD.
I just heard that the black box in the trunc that takes the navi-dvd is different (hardware) than the one sold in europe. Therefore the DVD is not supposed to work... but as I said - I will give it a try.
