The post at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/audi...-software.html may answer your question. The answer would seem to be no. You may need to replace the COMAND unit with a U.S. or European specification unit - but I have no idea what wiring modifications (if any) might be necessary.

i'm pretty sure that you're going to have to swap it out for a euro-spec COMAND as skylaw suggested.

try contacting benzmodz on this forum and he should have the equipments to do so.
