Thanks to this forum I've diagnosed that my COMAND sat nav is no longer working because of a problem with the aerial. My local Merc dealer has confirmed this and are quoting several hundered pounds to fix it (more than the cost of a couple of TomToms) 70% of this cost is because they expect to...

Reading the handbook for my Nokia N73, which I have connected in my car via SAP Bluetooth, I came across the following: "Several Bluetooth communications can be active at a time. For example, if you are connected to a compatible headset, you can also transfer files to another compatible device...

Nissan GT-R recognizes tracks via GPS and removes speed limiter from Autoblog We know that the Nissan GT-R's ECU wizardry is impressive, but this little tidbit left us in awe. According to our friends over at the GTChannel, the GT-R's integrated computer limits the vehicle's speed in Japan to...

Heads-up display GPS with Virtual Cable Two things plague GPS users: being forced to deal with dubious direction vocalizations and the amount of time spent looking at the screen when you should be paying attention to the road. MVS is developing a solution and it's likely the most revolutionary...

Hi First post here so please be kind... :o I'm about to wire a third-party DVD GPS unit + TMC into my SLK32. The previous owner had already replaced the APS30 with something a bit fancier so it's all a bit of a mess now behind the dash, and there aren't too many clues left about what's...

Morning... I've just bought my C32 AMG Estate and I've only just started to to try and familiarise myself with the SAT-NAV on the Comand Unit. For some reason when I try to search for my current loaction it's centres on a place just outside Harrogate (195+ miles away), so of course all the...

When I purchased my CL500 the first thing I discovered was that my Tom Tom Go would not work inside the car. I assume there is some metallic substance in the heating element or the window tint, that interferes with the inbuilt GPS aerial of the GPS unit but it just goes crazy. I've got used...

On Thursday and Friday of this week the Ministry of Defence will be carrying out exercise on the North Cornish Coast and as a consequence GPS WILL BE JAMMED. This is not a wind up, nor spam. GPS will not work in the vicinity of the Northern Cornish coast during the duration of the exercise...

Help! Like an idiot (:crazy: ), I tried fitting the antenna lead to the rear socket of my new APS 30 head unit to make sure it fitted correctly before I installed it all tomorrow. Now I can't get the bu**er out :mad: The plug has 2 plastic clips which I would assume just squeeze inwards...

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=55744 Seems that anyone using a sat nav / GPS system with mobile camera locations will no longer be able to rely on them as much as they have in the past...... :devil:

Has anyone got the wiring instructions for the W208/W209 GPS system for the above model

Just thought I'd provide some useful info on this as I bought one a couple of weeks ago. It is really cheap compared to competitors (I bought mine off Ebay for £60 + p&p). Despite the price, which has previously put me off it, I have found it to be really good. Good points - does what it...

Hi all Does anyone have any suggestions for the best place to put the GPS aerial when installing a Becker traffic pro into a W202?

Hi Everyone I have just installed a comand 2.0 into my Ml and the nav system is fluctuating wildly on how many sattellites it picks up. Seems to go from 0 to 7 but mostly stays between 0 to 3 which is not ideal. I used a generic under dash antenna and stuck it on the underside of the dash, just...

Hello all, I am now nerviously awaiting delivery of the comand headunit and navigation module for a w211 comand aps upgrade :crazy: Can you please tell me if the 'generic' GPS antennae that are available for sale on ebay are suitable for connecting to the navigation module on a w211 comand...
