Hi All,

I am writing in connection with lack of a navigation in my car. I have a A176 model from 2013 and unfortunayely there is no navigation system. I would like to know if I buy a newer command unit with navigation system and replace my current old command unit which does not have navigation it will resolve my problem or it will be just the beginning and I will need more parts like antenna and ect? ? I checked a lot of forums and movies on youtube but I have not got an answer so far.
Thank you for any help
Regards
Mateusz

"COMAND Online NTG4.5 and NTG4.7

Comand NTG4.5 was the 'main-stream' Comand system until 2015/2016 and the first to be known as Comand Online because it can connect to Mercedes Benz online internet services via certain bluetooth mobile phones.

It has a fixed 7" colour display with 800x480 pixel display.
It first became available in late 2011 with the facelfit W204 C class, and the W212 E, W207 E and W212 CLS classes along with the R172 SLK.

Mercedes Benz rolled this COMAND system into all the standard (i.e not S/CL) vehicles and including the W176 A class W246 B class, W166 ML, R172 SLK, R231 SL, W204 C (from MY2012), W212/W207 E (from 2011 in Europe) and the MY2015 G Class update

The maps are stored on a hard disk, and although the map update DVD is available cheaply, a PIN code is needed which can be bought from Mercedes Benz Dealers and specialists like www.comandonline.co.uk.

The system supports (optionally) the Media Interface (fully integrated iPod kit), integrated dual-tuner DAB digital radio, Harmon Kardon (option 810) and B&O (option 811) depending on which model series it is integrated in. It also supports Digital TV.

It supports 7 digit post codes, and downloadable applications allowing you to use facebook and other similar web sites on the COMAND screen.

The initial version of NTG4.5 had a brown colour scheme on the display, and this was replaced for Model Year 2013 with a grey colour scheme. All that changed was the software for this.

NTG4.7 is the internal name for the 2nd generation of NTG4.5 hardware which supports Bluetooth PAN which allows online access using an iPhone. The NTG4.7 hardware is different to the NTG4.5 hardware."

A car either has comand or it doesnt. there is no such thing in Europe that is Comand without navigation except some W221 Cars in Eire.

If you do not have comand then you can retrofit it. However it is not plug and play. Once installed it will need coding via online Xentry to enable the unit and then update the Mercedes database. Then you can buy a pin code and maps for it.
