Software Update
Hello, can anyone give me some advice as to what to tell the dealer in order for them to update the software to the latest version? I have a 2007 S550 and it's never had any updates. I searched around this forum and it looks as though there have been some improvements etc. but I'm not sure if the dealer will just update it if I ask.
So, do you think telling them that the COMMAND System crashes once in a while will do it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The main update would be apparent from the availability of bird's eye navigation view, or DVD video for US cars. If these are not present, I would not mind if the dealer makes the update free or not, just make it clear you want the latest COMAND SW and they should be able to do it.

Thanks to Dan I just got my car back from the dealer and they updated the software. Now I can watch a video (only while the car is parked) and there is also a traffic option but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Birds Eye View and ETA
Hey guys,
So I now have the updated software which has the video, traffic, preset search on the steering wheel, etc. but I don't see how to switch to birds eye view or where the estimated time of arrival is.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks
That helped!
Did you get the "user manual amendment"? Dealers should print that after the SW update.

i am going to Zimbabwe for two months on a consulting gig. Does anyone know if you can get navigation maps for the region (sorry for hijacking the thread) That said, I do have South Africa and Dubai if anyone is looking for the latest nav maps in those two areas, I have no problem sharing just send me a pm and we can arrange shipping as long as you return my dvd :-)
