command problems
I have a 00 s430, just bought in september. Since I bought the car I haven't been able to get the navigation to work. It worked before when I initially test drove the car but the battery died and hasn't worked since. Maybe someone can help me out, everytime I try to activate navigation it keeps saying "activating navigation" and stays like this without anything else happening. I tried reading up on the possible settings etc, but have been unsuccessful. I even took it to the benz dealer and even they couldn't figure out the problem. Does anyone know what it could be or has anyone else experianced this before. It's kinda annoying when everyone gets in the car and wants to see the nav work, I gotta keep telling them I don't have the CD. Please help me, I'm considering get a whole new unit but just wanna makesure it's not just a simple setting on the tires or the satellites.

You may have already done this - but try ejecting the CD and re-inserting it. Last, check your fuses (there should be a fuse diagram in the spoare tire well).

MY06CLK, dont think he has a build in cd rom. Problem must be found some where else. I've got no GPS reception after using the jump cable due to flat battery. For sure there nust be an explenation, same counts for vette.
