Texting via Command

Or simply refer you to his earlier post pointing out that it's not worth debate.

However, as you insist on poking the bear I might as well bite and respectfully point out if the official dictionary referred to in the post above is correct then the etymology of the acronym is not the nonsensical reason you put up.

The conviction of my translation was (and I will freely admit that I may well have mis-remembered) based upon reading it in the book pack that came with my W220 that I owned ten years ago which was, I think the first MB model to have COMAND.

It is also, of course, quite possible that the acronym has changed to suit Mercedes over the years as navigation has become more of a common commodity in cars of all sizes and a generic reference to 'management' & 'data' is more appealing as a marketing tool than navigation device. This may explain the range of different answers to what COMAND stands for online.

My only reason for posting in the first place was a little side-swipe at the unpleasant pedantry which is sadly too often a feature on this forum. You've not disappointed me.

Almost an apology. :doh:
