Problem with us-comand

Hello,

I just acquire an ML500 with a us-comand, but my problem is that I live on Europe and the GPS system doesn’t work.

Anybody knows what I need in order to fix the GPS system?

Or I need to buy a euro-comand?

I am sorry for this newbie question

Thank you in advance…

Only the euro will work there.

Thanks for your replay...

What I ear is that the euro and us comand is almost the same. A friend tolls me that he thinks that I only have to change the software for the maps and reconfigure the comand, to get the GPS in Europe.

Anybody knows how to enter in the comand configuration?

Thanks in advance… :p

No, its a different unit. In the Mcan market the system is an MCS system. For Europe they use a command system. They look similar but are different. There are no European Maps available for the US System and Vice Versa.

Yes he can mostlikely sell you a Euro Command but he will not be able to have the US unit work over there. Try a dealer also.
