I "discovered" an "engineers menu" in Command 2.0 and a hidden menu in the engineers menu which allows you to toggle off the video in motion block and a toggle to allow Command to play Mp3... also can change the DVD Region Code.

Have not tried it out but looks legit.

I bought the instructions and its got copyright ... I think I only infringe copyright if I sell the intructions ... I dont think I infringe it if I refer to it and credit the source... not sure maybe someone can help me out here.

Would love to help you guys out ... !! Tell me how !

Regards Steve.

COMAND 2.0

The source is Becker .... they made the unit didnt they !

stevebez

Actually source is eBay !!! Maybe I been scammed but reputable seller and the instructions show pictures of the menus which look legit...

I am sure the chap wont mind me plugging eBay as the source ... there are maybe 20 sellers of this there - for $15 equivalent.

Thanks - done that - seems no one has posted the sequence to get into the engineering menu ... or to get into the engineering hidden menu ...

Its not the 3-5-7 milarky....

perfectly legit to furnish the link and source without violating any copyright laws. selling such information could be an infrigement.

that only gets you to the engineering menu, next you need the 2nd secret code to enable the 3 hidden softkeys.

stevebez

Yes and the hidden menu is #, * , left arrow. in that order and then all held down for a few seconds... it might be *, # but its either of those two alternatives ... dont have the damn thing with me now... changed it last night and worked 100% ....

I am actually thinking of changing it back - I think I might find myself having the odd peak now and then while driving ... but enabled MP3 and there is a bunch of other stuff that I have no clue what it does...

Does anyone know if the 2004 E55 uses the Becker 2.0 command?

SS3E55

Steve - I'm new to this but am interested in knowing these hacks. I got into the engineering menu easily but the *,#,<- seems to do nothing are these the right keys? Any tips on getting these to work? I would love to enable MP3... I presume this means reading MP3 tracks from the CD drive and converting to audio right?

Thanks for the help...Phil

I put a bunch of MP3 files on CD's and discovered that they play in all 7 CD slots.. the in dash and all 6 slots of the changer. I didn't press anything!

But I have never tried to watch video on the screen. I wish the iPod interface supported the softkeys for navigating the iPod and displaying the artist, album, title. Does anyone know how to support this?

I just tried it in my ML and it didnt work... what it has to show after you press those 3? Do i Have to hold them all?

Can anyone give me detailed instructions please? Coz my damn nav doesnt play mp3, and its exactly the same as it was in my e55 but inb my 55 it did play mp3 from the factory.

Also what is the lfet arrow?

COMMAND in my 2005 SL came with MP3 capability...i tried the code any how for the video part but no luck

This is so cool.

mute_end call_service in sequence and held for a few seconds gets the "engineers menu".
It looks like you can get the error codes up and scroll through them and can then check the cars hardware and software inventory.

#_*_< gets the next layer. Has DVD region coding - mine was already set to 0. mp3 enable/disable - mine was enabled (from a previous software upgrade at the dealer). There is other stuff I dont understand so I didn't dare change it.

I wish someone could explain each subsection eg LCT etc.

I can get into the engineering menu easily enough, but I can't get past that. IS there anything special about the sequence you pressed the second set of buttons or timing or anything??

OzE55

Just the same.
Push and hold the buttons in order (holding all 3 down) for 5 seconds.

GTA23109a

Hmmm, mine must just be stubborn. I'll try it again tomorrow. Thanks!!

stevebez

Try changing the order of the buttons - initially the intructions did not work with mine and I changed the sequence of the last three buttons and it popped up - I'll have an other look at the instructions and let you know.

Its a "ctrl-alt-del" type sequence - but you need to hold it down a while...

Rgds Steve.

OzE55

the order you published it in # * < worked for me.
its probably the speed and that you dont hold it long enough.
Also, its the tags for the buttons at the screens sides that change. The whole screen doesn't change.

see if that helps

ML has an MCS2, the trick won't work
