Sat radio on Euro Spec command
Has SAT radio been enabled on the Euro Spec head unit? I read the difference on Steve's web page about the two units but it said that it is possible that Star diagnosis can activate it. Has it been done and is it possible to do?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Star Diagnosis can't activate it, sorry.
The one thing that can be done is to update a Euro unit with the US firmware, which will then give you satellite radio capability. But you'll lose use of the DVD drive and any video capability.

Ok how about this, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Assuming that the US Spec. Command system has the TV tuner option is it possible for you or Steve to add an auxiliary video adapter to the TV tuner harness? It seems possible and with that being accomplished you could now add a dvd changer.
Please elaborate if this can be accomplished if so I am definitely interested and I bet a lot of other E class or ECE command owners would be interested.

Would have preferred to have posted it here for everyone...
ECE COMAND for W211 = video, no satellite
US COMAND for W211 = satellite, no video/DVD video/tv tuner
This is based on information at this time. Things change, usually not quickly though...

Please let me know too once you open up one of the 2005 head units. I'd love to have the best of all worlds, DVD, TV, and satellite.
Thanks,
Gareth
