New 3D Navigation View??
I just watched a fairly new commercial for the 2012 C-class. The command center shows a VERY sexy 3D nav view. They have a 1.2 second subtitle, saying "Screen images simulated". Is this an actual view on ANY 2012 model??; Or does "Screen images simulated" really mean, "Sike.....You wish you had this 3D Nav View, but Fat Chance..." I'd gladly pay for that command center update .

I don't think this would be a simple upgrade. Command Online units are different from the regular command systems.

It's real. My S and GL don't have the 3d buildings, but my 2011 E was built in July, so it got the new COMAND version 4.5, which includes 3d maps.
These maps are stored in the COMAND unit; it does not run on internet
NOTE: These maps only come up in big cities. Where I do most of my driving, the buildings are not 3d! If I drive to downtown, then I see the 3d buildings. Also, 3d maps show mountains, so if I zoom out enough, the mountains are 3D.

I have this on my 2012 C. Looks great, but it's abysmal to use. The processor can't handle the 3D rendering, so the map refreshes slowly / choppy when you drive. Scrolling the map takes forever. Must turn 3D off for things to work right.
Not sure if the COMAND processor is faster in the S?

I so want this in my W221. Should be possible...The conectors are the same on them though. If I only could get the pinout on the old and new so pins could be moved.
