Radio Frequency

Radio FM Frequency doesn't go beyond 89MHz on my S320 W220. Whereas there are several FM stations in my city whose frequency ranges between 76 to 106MHz.

Is there a way to increase the FM Frequency Range?

Check your settings on your cluster to make sure you are selecting stations by frequency and not by memory. By memory will only tune to stations that are stored in the memory.

Most of the world uses 87.5-108 MHz for the commercial FM band (the US starts at 88.8). However, Japan uses 79-90 MHz. If you are using a Japanese COMAND somewhere else, I suspect there's nothing you can do. It's possible that an internal engineering menu is available to change this, but probably not.

You can see if the rest-of-world COMAND 2.0/2.5 engineering mode entry code (MUTE,1,3) works for a Japanese COMAND, and if there's a frequency option in the engineering menus.

Yes. This is a Japanese Version Comand & I'm using it in Pakistan. I think I'll have to replace the comand. Even (MUTE,1,3) code didn't work. How do you make out the Comand model/version?

Yes! I did hold switch mute and digits 1+3 on tel pad for more than 7 secs. Nothing happened. I also tried same combination with Tape, CD, TV, Radio, Nav option one by one. Even then nothing happened.
