gps

I have just ordered a E350 with the command system. Since the system uses a hard drive how do I go about updating the GPS maps in the future? Any idea of the charges involved?

I've just seen this piece on The Register. It's basically saying that an imported jammer can defeat GPS based anti theft tracking systems.

Garmin StreetPilot 2650 Car GPS Receiver on eBay (end time 01-Mar-10 23:58:46 GMT) Will let it go for £60 inc P&P on here :) Has everything but I just looked and I can't seem to find the remot controller in the box but i'm sure it's somewhere round in the house. So i'm going to have a look...

My Satnav thought there were roundabouts on the A1 last week and they were now flyovers :doh: Checking my DVD it is verson 5, I understand that the current version is 10 with 11 comming out in July. My local MBD will not give me the current or past part numbers and looking at the second user...

Bought this about 2 months ago, never really use it so maybe more useful for someone who does more miles. When I bought It I was told it had no subscription and was last updated in August 09. I have no way of checking this as have not updated it myself. Few marks (very faint) on Unit does not...

Hi, i have a 2006 E class saloon avant-garde, with full color sat nav (the one with the big colour screen), the problem is that when i start the car i am in the wrong location on the sat nav, for example if I'm in birmingham the location on the sat nav is somewhere in scotland and then next time...

Hi Everyone, Quick question... If installing a Comand, where would one install the GPS antenna? I know it needs to be able to read the satellite signals, but does it need a clear view of the sky? Ta

Hi Just bought a 2nd hand Comand unit to replace the Audio 20 unit in my C-class. Looking though the web for installation instructions i have noticed a few references to a GPS antenna. My Comand unit came without anything else apart from the head unit. I had assumed the antenna was built in...

Has anyone experienced difficulties receiving GPS signals on TomTom units in Mercedes cars (the CL in particular) I have just picked up a new 940 Go - the GPS signal strength is extremely patchy - making the unit unusable (always searching for new routes after it relocates a satellite, cuts...

Hi, can some one please tell me whether C220 CDI (2003 model) is compatible and suites with 2-DIN Car DVD Player + GPS + Bluetooth with 7 Inch Touchscreen Thank you, Jib

I’ve turned this on, via an IT Policy, and confirmed it on the handset. As far as I can see, it reports to the SyncLBS SQL table ( Lat/Long/Alt/Timestamp). Does anyone know of a Gui app that can dump this into Google maps or similar ?

Hi, I just wanted to post this quick advice on fitting an aftermarket GPS antenna for units like the Becker Traffic Pro High Speed which is brilliant for Mercedes. Obviously when I was waiting to receive it, I was already looking at threads of how to fit it. There are quite a few posts that...

Hi All, I've recently retrofitted a comand aps on my facelift w203 sports coupe. Alfie coded and flashed the firmware of the unit (cheers!) 10 days ago but in his diagnostic tool he noticed that the comand wasn't seeing the antenna (gps aerial open circuit or something like that)...

I'm working in Karlsruhe (Germany) this week, and as a hire car I received an A class Mercedes. Because I hire a lot of Hertz cars, I was "upgraded" to a version with Satellite Navigation. Yippee! I thought - I get COMAND, I don't need to take out my trusty tomtom, etc. Well, it turns out...

Ok, i've been considering getting a mate of mine (local ICE installer) to install a Command unit in my W202 (like Shude did in the How To section) and i've been weighing up the pro's and cons of doing so. Should I go ahead with this or just go for a Kenwood unit (pictured below) with an...

I have Tom Tom software on my iPAQ - can anyone recommend a Bluetooth GPS for it? (There are plenty on Amazon, but I would like one recommended!) Cheers :rolleyes:
