The live traffic stuff still works (and is subscribable to), along with map updates (which barely made it at 3G speeds), you just can not add further subscriptions for the status monitoring stuff can't be renewed)

At the moment they have stopped subscriptions to services (except a couple) on cars older than a certain date - even if the data card says it has 4G module. I think whoever decided the "logic" to describe cars has not considered it properly ....

Use the black fakra for an aftermarket one, the mustard one is a special diverse antenna.

Suggest you try a Varta battery (from Amazon) ...

Assuming thats a pre-2009-facelift there is a fibre optic ring, and anything broken on it causes the mercedes star to be displayed and system to reboot. The items on there are some or all of the following: - Head-unit (at the front, i.e the display) AGW, in the boot on the left - this is...

Contact comand.co.uk / comandonline.co.uk - you're going to need firmware / licence / etc to do it properly and reliably Mercedes correct procedures requires the armrest ports replaced R

Firmware updates possibly ? Its done by the instrument cluster control unit and the MBUX control units

Thanks markjay, if you follow the contact form and send your VIN number I'll look up whether it's a sensible retrofit. All depends on the seats in the car ! R

Msg me the VIN and I’ll look.

No 3G or 4G = no live traffic (one of our customers lives in an area with no 3G) - so when 3G goes, if you have a 3g only module there will be no live traffic. Also, Mercedes won't let you re-subscribe to live traffic if you don't have the 4G/LTE module Richard

Pls can U msg me the VIN or reg number? I now know I can do W205 with 360 and 522, just investigating 531 !! Thanks. Richard

What age is the C class ?

We've sorted changing from code 360 (Hermes 1.5 3G) to code 362 (Hermes 1.5 4G/LTE) on E class W213 with COMAND (531) and it will also work for cars with the later Audio-20 (506). I'm being specific because there is also 350 (older) and for some reason the 4G module with the USB interface to...

That would require new software development on older systems. No chance of them doing that, they want you to buy a new car!!

You will need to buy a licence. The map that is on your system is licenced to the VIN for the car it came from. so no map is enabled, so there's no way to even re-install the map that is on the HDD without a licence key for that map matching the current VIN. Richard
