Actually, the only way to do this now is to completely replace the navigation with one imported from europe where vehicles come from the factory this way. To my knowledge the units are even made for mercedes by different companies.

solution which should be available early next year.

As I said, the only way you can do it now is to go euro. Plus, that is in the UK, they obviously haven't tried to do it with US versions of comand, and other companies such as NAVTV cannot do it. I know because I have asked.
There was an older version of stardiagnostic (the dealerships diagnostic software) that could do it, but that was for an older version of COMAND. The only person who might be able to do it is SteveNL (I think that is his member name). Anyway, I believe he has completely reprogrammed euro COMAND systems to use in american cars, but even this was a feat.
Find me someone who has actually done this to a US car that was made in the last two or three years, and I will be impressed.
