NAV - yet another question on a 2007

I had an issue with NAV and the CD player and Air bag . . . . So the dealer updated the command center.

The Command Center NOW has VIDEO and the NAV has the time and distance as an option on the screen. I have been trying to get that since day one. Also the graphics are different vs the previous. ALSO has a tab for traffic on the botton. (does this automatically work OR do I have to call SIRUS and add it as an option)

NOW my telephone keyboard adjacent to the storage can be utilized to change the stations.

VERY STRANGE

I had to reinstall the Blue Tooth,

I placed a DVD into the holder and tried to watch a movie, but I ONLY could hear it, BUT no video. I was also in park and the car was running.

What did you ask the dealer to do? Update the Nav? Update the Telematics? Update the Command System? Not sure what to ask my dealer hearing many on this forum have approached their dealer and received quizzical expressions.

How much did the delaer charge for the update?

Your model year can get traffic info at no charge. It does NOT involve SIRIUS. Since you have the update, there are only two reasons why you are not seeing traffic data.
1) You must have a Navigation DVD update more recent that the one that originally came with your vehicle. As a minimum you need version 6 or greater. Current version is 10
2) You must live in one of the parts of the country where Navigation data is available. See http://www.navteq.com/rdstraffic/ for coverage areas. No subscription is required for your model year. Mercedes arranged a lifetime subscription intended for model year 2008 and 2009. Your vehicle with the firmware update appears as a 2008.

If you are still under warranty it should be free if you tell the dealer something is wrong with the Comand like it is freezing up.

This thread covers it.
