Hello All,
I'm looking to update the maps and firmware on my W211's Comand system, but I've found so much conflicting information that I want to ask the experts (you!) for some help!
The current disk in the reader in the boot is COMAND APS 2008 0 Version 8.0 A2118271565.
The system is running an older system software / firmware version as I don't have the ETA in Nav, and it doesn't pick up the album and track names from some audio CD's.
I've found the latest maps disk (A2118270701), however, it's 179 Euro from MB, £29.99 from here, and just £16.99 from eBay.
Some people online were warning about cheaper / lower quality disks not working and / or damaging their readers. Does anyone have experience with this?
I'm also a bit confused as to the update process, and if updating the maps and the system software is done at the same time, from the same disk, or if not where I can get the disk to update the system itself.
The eBay listing says:
Discs Included: 2018 NTG1 disc (V19) + NTG1 V12 (V12 disc is only needed as an intermediate disc if you are on a older update than v12.
Please message us if you need the v12 disc or it will not be sent out with your order.
If your current update is older than 5 years, the V18 disc will not work until you install V12 first to update your system within 5 years difference.If you do not require V12 please message us once ordered.
If you need version older than V12 please message me and we can discuss the intermediate upgraded steps
So I'm assuming that I need to install the V12 maps first? Since I have V8 at the moment can I go straight to V12, or do I need to do V9/10/11?
If any of you could give me an idots step by step of the things I need an what order to do them in that would be fantastic!
Thank you very much, AMDV
