So, used navi in the new E for the first time and cannot get it to turn off.
Nothing in the basic manual (pg 169 and 192 but no real info).
Nothing in the Command manual except 2 pages of voice commands for Navi
but not how to turn it off.
My wife and I tried every category on the bottom of the Navi screen and no
luck.
Was hoping when you turn the car off it would disappear. Noooo, when you start the car, there's Navi.

Anybody know the MB secret??
Thanks

just go to other functions like audio or phone and you won't see the nav screen again.

You have pushed the black button in the middle of the circular silver button on the dash, just above the little slot....right? That turns the comand system on/off.

Alternatively, if you prefer some other screen, you can just push the phone button or some other button to get rid of the map. Finally, if you want the radio off, push the mute button on the steering wheel and the radio will mute.

Since I always want the map, I don't know which of the settings are remembered the next time you start your car.

MinnBobber

Thanks but I did go to another function (radio) and the navi screen isn't on BUT the navi verbal cues keep interrupting the radio.

MinnBobber

Yes, pushed that and that shuts it all off but I turn it back on to get the radio, and there it is--Navi

Yes, pushed radio and Navi screen goes away but Navi verbal cues keep interrupting the music


I want the radio without Navi cues cutting into it???
I'll play with it some more this morning

You have a route programmed that you never followed. You need to "Cancel Route Guidance" this will stop the navi.

El Cid

Select NAV from menu at top of COMAND screen or push NAV button on center stack. When map comes up, push button on steering wheel for voice comands. When voice screen comes up, say Cancel Route Guidance, then say Yes to confirm cancelling route guidance.
Once you request route guidance to a destination, the system continues to provide it until you either get there or cancel. In fact, sometimes when you get there and stop, it may not cancel.
BTW, if you want map, but no audio, you can use buttons or COMAND menu to select a system you are not using, such as Memory Card. Screen will say No Device Connected, but then default to whatever you had it on before. This way you don't have to mute the audio.
Happy Motoring

BM2BZ

ah, i see what you mean now. just follow what el cid said above and you are good to go .

While in the Navi screen:

Push the button by your hand, the Command Button.

Lower right, Destination, then Cancel Guidance.

xolinlevh

Press voice command button and say "cancel route guidance"

MinnBobber

finally got the Navi turned off.

ghstudio

Darn....I just realized the easier alternative would have been to just follow the nav instructions until it arrived at whatever address was set

It might have been an interesting drive...

El Cid

The system will then ask: Do you really want to cancel route guidance? and you have to say Yes.
BTW, it helps to have an idea of where you are going and to keep a map handy. Nav is not infalliable and data is not from MB, but a company that provides the info. to most nav systems. There are selections for different types of routings, but I have never tried them.

mikemargolis

You might RTFM as well.

MinnBobber

"F'in manual" (paper manual) has virtually no info on the Navi, thanks.

mikemargolis

There is a whole separate manual just for the Command system.

BM2BZ

mikemargolis is right. you probably read the wrong f'in manual . here is the comand manual just in case you didn't get one when you picked up the car. btw, nav instructions is from page 53 .

Thanks,
I'll have to ask for my paper copy as it wasn't in my materials I got two weeks ago when I got the car.
I was back once to get the HKardon sampler CD which folks talked about here
as that wasn't in my packet either. I assume that should have been in there as
I got the P2 with HK audio system

El Cid

Make sure you got the Maintenance Manual also. There should be a quick tips brochure of a few pages as well and maybe something on the tires.

BM2BZ

it's something minor but yet a small detail makes mercedes and the dealers look bad. isn't it suppose to be something they have to check before making the delivery ? what makes everything in the leather packet difference than things like the mats and keys ? those are things that come with the car and you have to give them to the new owner when the car is delivered. simple as that . it could be both time consuming for someone who doesn't live close to the dealer and even dangerous for the new owner if he/she doesn't know how to operate a feature or two while enjoying the nice drive home after picking up the car.

MinnBobber,
Has MB asked you to do the customer satisfaction survey yet? If not, you need to mention this when they do.

The dealers are judged carefully by these surveys. They often pressure you to give MB good feedback but you will do future buyers a favor by mentioning this. I guarantee MB will not ignore this feedback.

Regards,
Don

BM2BZ

he'll do future buyers a favor indeed but that might also affect his future experience with the dealer. we think they don't know who fills out what in the surveys but they do know .

El Cid

I don't believe the manuals actually come with individual cars. Think they receive separate shipments of a bunch for each model or something. This would probably be true moreso for COMAND as it applies to all models.
Regardless, salesman should have given your one and he/she should know which ones are for vehicle you purchases. I would call the sales manager and have ALL applicable manuals and paperwork for the car you purchased mailed to me.
I never got a survey from MB, but you can call MBUSA customer service to complain. Might be better to call dealer first so their are no hard feelings. In fact, that's what MBUSA would probably tell you to do anyway.

So today I was out taking pictures of the E and put the camera in the glove
box and what's in there---the Command manual so I've got it and have started
to read it.

I'll try to post pics but that's a real chore for me. The Canon pics mgr is on my wife's side of the computer and it should allow easy email to me or direct deposit in my files but message comes up--that feature not activated.
I may get them as copy/paste attachments but they are usually too big to post.
I'll try.......

BM2BZ

also check the two compartments under both front seats. just in case your salesperson forgot his guns there .
