CLS500 4.7TT 2012,, SL350 09, 996 cab, all current. Gone :CLS 55 E500 W211, 2x M5s and too many 911s
Does anybody know if the command firmware on the 2009 sl ntg 2.5 can be up dated to get rid of the horrible yellow bands and tint to the screen as it can on the ntg 4.5 ( to pure black and white).
It's so ugly and old fashioned.
 
A quick phone call to the guys at Comand Online could confirm one way or another.
Sorry, I don't know myself:confused:
 
First off, updating NTG2.5 beyond a certain date requires a firmware update (IIRC called 09/29) before updates after a certain date can be installed. Secondly, the last update ever for 2.5 is about 2018-19, no more will be issued. Not sure how to check if you have 09/29 installed, all I do know is that if you try to install the last issued maps update and it's not installed, the DVD will tell you it can't install because of that, it does not try to install, wipe your existing maps then stop!

If you don't have 09/29 installed. comand.co.uk can do it for you (as they did for my SLK, as MB North Wales had omitted to do this for free when servicing the car in its first 5-6 years after they supplied it brand new and serviced it - barstewards who did not reply to my email!! - but it cost. The DVD's I bought "second user" on Ebay or from this forum or t'other side, can't remember. Did the maps update myself and it was easy, just took about 2 hours.

Thanks. Did the screen change from yellow to white?
 
Sorry, can't remember - but I do not remember my screen being yellow!
 
The last / latest (09/29) firmware for NTG2.5 does not change the colours.
Sorry
