I have a 2015 W212 with COMAND 5*1, at least I am pretty certain that is the version of COMAND I have. It has the ability to import personal POIs from the SD card. The files must be put in the root directory of the SD card in a folder called PersonalPOI. That works fine, except there is a...

I have just received an email with a link to a 'personal presentation' from the salesman arranging my new car. Very informative and much more convenient to a call as you can watch it when it suits you. Has anyone else received one of these ? This seems to be a new service although a...

I work as a delivery driver so rack up a fair bit of miles, and for the past couple years I made compilations of the interesting stuff my dashcam picked up on the road. I'm now getting back into the habit of making vids regularly and figured I'd share my latest one. It's also got some glamour...

Hello folks, Do you know the Daimler/Mercedes IconId (POI icon) numbers for COMAND? Ideally, I'm looking for a spec sheet for their vpx XML extensions which includes the icon number codes. The standard speed camera IconId is "6". The trouble is all the sets of POIs (WiFi, etc) are all using...

Hello everyone, Some of you may have noticed that I have published a few videos of my E63AMG over the past few weeks and I have now launched 2 x new video vlogs of myself speaking in the car today, with my personal insights on the E63 AMG. I am not claiming to be an expert but merely...

Looking to pull the plunge on a Merc (C or E class) which I have meant to do for a while (but unfortunately life kinda took over). My mileage is around 10K per year and the majority is short innercity journeys. So the general wisdom is to get a petrol car or possibly a petrol-electric combi...

Just as I was starting to think that I would never live to see the day that my V6 320CDi would do more than 33mpg, today I got a new pb of 36mpg by the end of my journey and a peak of 36.3mpg! Yes, I was driving quite conservatively, but I was going at the speed limit (honest officer) and...

I've had a few queries recently on my freeware programs for creating Personal POIs on the Comand system. So that you don't have to search back through multiple threads, here's a summary with links to the most recent program versions. Detailed documentation is included in the zip files. This...

I have recently bought the new(ish) C250 with the Garmin satnav. I am trying to find the best way to upload UK speed cams to the system but with 2 problems. 1 - The Personal POI menu setting seems to have disappeared 2 - I have an SD card with the files but neither the satnav nor the speedcam...

My Colleague director is considering leasing a Mercedes GLA One of the questions is Personal lease Deal ... or .... Our company leases it , he then makes the lease payments that he would have made to the company ....... Company Benefits as lease offsett against Company tax ? He Benefits as...

Hi All, Ok so I have had my new R172 SLK (2016 Model) for just under a week now and am very pleased with it all in all. I have been playing with POI using Google Maps and the 'Send to Car' works really well. I was wondering if anyone has managed to figure out a way to do this via an...

Hi all This isn't a "for sale" advert(!); I'd just like to check if there's anything I need to do before selling my Becker Map Pilot unit. Notes / actions so far: >I didn't set a PIN when I originally got the car, so that won't be an issue for the new user I hope... (is it safer to plug it...

Hi again folks, Here's another one of my little freeware utilities for getting more from your Comand system. This time it is for creating Personal POIs using Google My Maps. As you already know, it's possible to create Personal POIs which can be stored on an SD card which is then inserted...

What private number plate /plates have you got and what does it mean , I will start this off my plate is M2GA X I think it's self-explanatory my next plate will be BO66LS X = BOGGIS but got to wait for that one

All, Has anyone took out a business lease with MB, but paid for it from a personal account? i.e. used their VAT reg'd busness to get the cheaper lease option, but not use it as a company car. Thanks,

Bluetooth works fine for voice calls etc. I'm using the IPhone 6 but when I try to use it with Comand it says phone does not support mobile data.? My service provider has confirmed Tethering is enabled. Apple confirm the phone is ok. I have latest maps & latest firmware for Comand...

I bought a personal number plate from DVLA now what? It said something about V50 being delivered in 2 weeks How do I register it for my current car and what happens to my existing number, is it still mine (to put back when I sell) or do DVLA get it?

We're struggling with our existing dealer trying to organise an E Class estate. We're now at a point where we're just considering contract hire as there seem to be some reasonable deals about. Has anyone noticed anything special being offered? Our preference is for :- E220 CDi AMG Sport Auto...

I created new categories in personal POIs and saved number of POIs directly from the car. Everything was fine, I was able to use them. A few days later, I start the engine and all my personal folders are suddenly gone and only one empty empty folder left. Did it happen to anyone else? I was...

Just wondering, I started with 2 cars on a multicar policy, then on renewal it worked out cheaper to have 2 separate policies, I'm going to be adding a 3rd car (getting my old pulsar Gti-R out of storage) and there's a small chance of a 4th car. It's prohibitively expensive getting new policies...
