s600 v12
Hi friends i have a s600 w140 import from japan. I live in Australia
The COmand unit on the car looks exactly like this:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/sucla...1101822322.jpg
Most of the Text on the actual Operating system is in japanese. I have changed the langauge to english, but all it changes is just the softkey Labels.
I need help in getting my TV to work and My sat nave to work.
In australia our TV freqencies are in MHz but on the Unit i only have the option of using KHz Frquencies. Can i somehow change this?
My sat nav is in jpanese. Ive heard i need a Cd to change it to the AUs version biut i cant actually find where to put the CD into (unless it goes into the CD chnager?)
Is there anyway that i can get an English or Australian Firmware Operating System.
My car looks excatly like leloz's (even the the rims are the same) - so maybee you might be able to help me (i sent u a pm)

Whatever there's gas in...
w140s were equipped with COMAND? oh that's not fair, my 1995 S600 didn't have it! 
I can't help with your question, but I can say congratulations on a great car!

Mercedes S600 1997
Hi
It wouldn't be easy to get some help, because a lot of us didn't even heard about the Comand in the W140.
I think only(!!) the late model Japanese Cars could be ordered with this option, and at that time the name of this wasn't even Comand.
I have seen a Head Unit once on Ebay and that is all I know about this.
I would suggest to look for Steve Karbbenborg from the Netherlands .
I don't know how you can contact him , but I know he posts (or posted) on this Forum . I hope somebody can tell you.
He knows the most about the Comand Systems . I would say he is the Comand Guru.
