Comand 2.0 & TP - Traffic Programme

[Kingpin!]

Since I still haven't got a european manual for my Comand 2.0 unit I wonder the following;

The TMC function works for navigation but I would still like to have the TP - "Traffic Programme" information as well.

On my Audio 10 CD it worked perfectly (it came on when I was tuned to other radio stations as well as when listening to a CD) but on my Comand I haven't heard anything yet :-( I've noticed that I can switch on/off the TP by pressing mute for a couple of seconds, the indicator is either black or red then.

First of all, is it supposed to be red or black when it's turned on?

Am I supposed to do anything else besides that?

Anyone who got a manual (european version) for Comand 2.0 ?

TIA!

I can post you a CD with it all on

On my COMAND-APS (DVD based system) Traffic announcements are enabled by (in Radio screen) pressing the soft key on the left labelled TA

yes, they are different functions and COMAND 2/2.5 does support TP.

I've noticed that I can switch on/off the TP by pressing mute for a couple of seconds, the indicator is either black or red then.

Correct, this alternates between TP on/off. Alternatively, if you have linguatronic, you can say "traffic on" or "traffic off".

First of all, is it supposed to be red or black when it's turned on?

I seem to remember it's supposed to be red when turned on. Can check on mine if you like.

Am I supposed to do anything else besides that?

No, should work when activated, provided of course you're listening to a channel that broadcasts RDS and has traffic announcements. Works fine in mine.

Yes, the one that came with my car , but that's not an electronic one that I could send you .

 

[Kingpin!]

Television, that would be great!

I sent you a private message.

Television (or indeed Kingpin!), any chance of posting the manual on a file hosting site?

 

[Kingpin!]

Stratman,

Haven't received any file (yet) from "television".

I'll let you know if and when!

I have just tried the CD for the first time and it is in the USA format but still basically the same

What do I do

The Cd's most commonly offered on ebay are simply downloads of the following website;

I've yet to come across a European/English Comand manual on the internet.

The original paper version can be bought online of course. If you can find anyone with some stock. Last time we enquired at a dealership they told us that they would go on back order. They can take months to arrive as Mercedes only seem to produce a batch every few months. That said, I know one or two people have been lucky and got one within a few days.

Malcolm,

Thanks for the effort but I think that the information I want to read about (TP, RDS etc.) is only available in european versions of the manual (I may be wrong here). Also, if there is a european manual which is based on the latest firmware that would be a bonus.

But, most of all I would like a article number for such a manual so I can order one from my dealer and put in my car.

So, if anybody else has this please let me/us know!

The Command order number on mine is for what it is worth

DaimlerChrysler 02 Blaupunkt 8 622 403 041 index parts-No 230 584 11 82 EN edition B

As seen, that is for Command 2 for the SL

It cost £18 and 5 days

What car do you have? For my S-class, the part number is:

220 584 14 83 (Edition D)

I ordered my COMAND manual from my dealer, took 8 days to show up, then they had 5 to choose from!! Cost me £17.97
