COMAND Firmware Update
Hi folks!
Last ditch effort for me before I start thinking it's time to get rid of this car! I'm trying to get the firmware updated for my head unit in my 2006 SLK350 with the Harmon/Kardon system (changer and DVD nav). I called into the dealer and they seem to think it's a 2 hour job (or more) to insert a CD and leave it for a few minutes. Worse yet, this is a US model so the firmware that is freely available from MB does not work in this car (wrong Variant error) when I try to flash it.
Does anyone have or know which damn firmware this thing needs? As you can guess, I'm starting to get angry about what should have been a simple job and has turned into hours and many coasters.....
