SCN coding have to be done at dealer?

[India]

Hi, hoping someone can answer. I have just retro fitted COMAND in my w204. Everything working fine. I need to have the SCN coding done to show NAV instructions in IC. I know somebody who used to work for MB, and has the STAR access. Can he do the coding at home, or will it have to go to a dealer?

Alfie on here did mine - top bloke and knows his stuff. Depends where you are located of course.

I'm in Swindon, Wilts. How much did it cost you? Maybe he could change the coding to make the DAB work again too then, as it worked before I took the Audio 20 out!

I'm sure Alfie will be along presently to speak for himself, but the basic deal is he enables everything possible on your car for a flat fee.

Pretty sure you will need the same what I needed done. On newer cars you need to have the datacard updated to add Comand option to it. It can then be SCN coded once this is done. Alfie / Richard did mine for me once the datacard was updated so the person you know should be able to do i if he has a genuine STAR system and it is up to date.

If you get the car properly SCN coded, then the DAB, cluster etc will all work as it should.

Did you fit the fan/ducting etc?

We have just finished building the retrofit kits and they should be in the shop imminently.
