Command help

I recently picked up a command unit and have been searching high and low for answers. I've gone into Engineering Mode and feel my SW could be updated to enable MP3. Here is what my device info for MOST shows in the EM screen

MBNo: 2118272542
HW Yr/Wk: 02/37
SW Yr/Wk: 03/32

Sticker on the side of the unit has 211 827 63 42 001

There is also a Telephone on the MOST but no phone installed, is it possible to get a puck and tail added to this to enable phone?

Goals: Getting MP3 playback, DVD playback?(Not sure if this is Euro only), Bluetooth enabled, bluetooth streaming?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

You have very old firmware. Google NTG1 firmware update. Usually, they will have a file that you can burn to CD and then put it in to your NTG1 for updating it. I did this on my NTG2.5. You just need to find the right file.

Not sure about DVD on US NTG1. I know the Euro versions can be enabled.

Thank you, i started on the forums and then google. I'm very new to trying to the MOST system and worried about bricking the head unit with the wrong software. I know we've talked about your old set up before

I've searched and found this link
http://service-parts.mercedes-benz.c...on?pageId=4795
what scares me is this says Europe and nothing about US? the Firmware is confusing, not to mention now i'm curious about bluetooth puck with tail

**EDIT**
I think I might have located the part i need W211 589 14 22 00 can anyone confirm that on a US Command unit?

Took the plunge and it worked, obtain W211 589 14 22 00 to update the US command and MP3 is enabled. Engineering mode is gone as expected.
