    SCN Datacard Update

    Hi I also retro-fitted Distronic, flappy paddles, panoramic roof and other bits in 2019/20 to my 2007 SL. All went through coding (and in the case of Distronic a proper driving setup) OK and were added to the datacard. I do know MB have hugely restricted what they accept you can modify - they...

    S-Class COMAND SatNav DVD Update

    If your part number is A211 827 07 01 Version 18, I have an original DVD, complete with box, install instructions and the MB wrapper - I got this from a dealer - which I no longer use having upgraded to A211 827 09 01 (Version 19). Disc looks unmarked, was used for about 9 months and caused no...

    Mirror my samsung mobile screen to the command

    It all depends on the type of phone you have and the video input capability of the Head Unit. I have done this on the bench with an NTG1 & will complete the install next year. There is a chap John Parsons - a s/w engineer (socalbeachrunner) who has done this. Look on youtube

    Comand 2.0 add tv/dvd/rear camera?

    Be careful what you ask for here. The same item (with the same picture) appears elsewhere ostensibly for NTG2.5, which is an entirely different animal: PREMIUM Multimedia Interface Adapter DVD DVB-T für Mercedes Comand APS NTG 2.5 | eBay

    Comand 2.0 add tv/dvd/rear camera?

    If you can divert the display RGB & Sync input signals from the head unit to a video processor with several CVBS inputs, then you can add a reversing camera (the video processor should switch automatically to show the Rear view on the COMAND display) and a digital TV box. TV sound will come...

    W211 Comand Replacement

    It is likely you will have an analogue 6.5" display made by Sharp/Sanyo etc. It will either have a single 30pin ZIF input connection or one 28 pin connector and an additional 2 pin backlight connector, and is not difficult to change. There are various part numbers and they appear on Ebay from...

    Electronics Advice Needed!

    you should also check that the motor, driven by the relay, has not gone short circuit. If it has the symptoms would be similar - the circuit would (hopefully) go into current shutdown to protect everything else.

    Poor radio signal

    Assuming the RF lock/unlock works then, working from the front backwards, look to defective antenna connections from the screen to the passenger side pre-amp. next look to the pre-amps themselves - they 'select' the strongest signal from each of the 4 screen mounted antennas - on instruction...

    TV Switching

    Sorry it did not work for you. But, if you choose the right Video Controller/daughterboard combo, then selecting reverse will give you the Rev Cam pic on the COMAND screen - trust me it does on my W209 CLK - no muss no fuss & no buttons to push. It may well not be a solution you can apply to...

    TV Switching

    You have to open up the HU and, after breaking the connection between the HU Mobo and the display panel, install a small daughterboard, which does the actual signal swap. If the stars are aligned, and it all fits together, the results can be very good. I have done this on an NTG2 and it works...

    You can also get controllers which interface between the HU output and the COMAND display screen - effectively stealing the display to show other user selected video inputs. Search for Car Solutions, who sell a wide range, you may find something you can use. I have a later SL into which I have...
