NTG3 Engineer Menu

Hello All,

I recently got a carplay to retrofit my 07' w221. Everything works except I need to activate AUX/TV in the COMAND to enable the voice transmission.
I have tried 3-5-7 and *-1-hangup trick but both did not work.
Can anyone help me out? Thank you guys!

Thank you very much for your help.I was able to get to the engineer menu, but couldn't find a place to turn on the AUX sound.
My Mercedes may not come from the factory with this item.
Anyway thank you very much and excuse my clumsiness.

as I mentioned previously "not sure if aux on is in there" ....it can be turned on using dealer kit in less than 10 minutes - its on all the cars, all you do is display the choice (or not)

ummm, whilst Aux was always there (but menu doesn't show if not enabled) it would be wise to have the latest comand telematics software on all modules (they all link via its fibre MOST and update in a chain)

just thinking way back, there were a number of features that were introduced and lots of bugs that they resolved. if you are pre 2008 update the whole comand is a box of muddled junk.

the easiest way to see if you are anyway near up to date is to look in Nav map views and see if the option alongside north up etc, has "Bird's eye view"

Smile Got the AUX running.

In the Mercedes-Benz Adarsa workshop (Asturias Spain), they did not know that these hidden menus existed. The astonishment was great.
Now the AUX works.
Once again, thank you so much.
