Its German, has a round badge, reminds me of a Mercedes. Satan fuelled
I have been assured, by Mercedes Benz of Harrogate, that the TMC enabled DVDs for COMAND satnav will be out early in the new year. they have this info direct from mercedes. so it is only 18months late then!

I have just taken delivery a 55reg SLK and it was equipped with the same version (4.1) of the DVD the older SLK (2004model 54reg)was. I emailed Mercedes via the contacts page on www.mercedes-benz.co.uk and asked why i received the latest model car and yet only got the old version on the DVD. they said that 4.1 is the latest version but I expected the upgraded version.

anyhow they are sending me it, when it comes, at no charge. I thought it may be of help to any potential, or recent buyers who were unaware of this issue.

I havent looked thru the forum recently, so if this is a duplicate of other threads in here, my appologies for taking up space.
 
i havent been on for ages.. must update that pic too.
 
Erm,

I have a letter direct from the office of the MD of Mercedes UK stating its going to be out at the end of this month (ie, September) or early October.

I also know its passed final testing, and is being packaged now.

Ever get the feeling we are being told porkies ?
 
I'm trying to hold taking my (almost) year old W203 in for service, hoping that the TMC disk will be available when I do. I'm *assuming* they'll change the disk anyway as it's got the dodgy roundabout exit number issue.

possibly. My info was from a phone call today (28/09/2005) and it was the result of Mercedes emailing the retailer yesterday and me contacting them today. the service department rang mercedes than rang me. so thats as up-to-date as i can be. whether its as up to date as they can be you never know.

i did mention that mercedes Mag had said Autumn and early next eyar isnt Autumn. The guy couldn't offer any help other than tell me what he had been told.

looks positive tho. I do get the feeling, from this isue, that MB are trying hard with customer service tho. I have no complaints as they have addressed my issue satisfactorily.
 
opps. Sorry.

should have known.
 
Just a reminder for those with a CD driven Command that you can get TMC with the Michelin nav CD, you can get it on their website, £179 I believe.
 
A conversation I had with DCUK last week they said they are working on their own version and doubt the existing TMC units will be compatible? Who knows?

thanks for that; do you know suggested prices?


No, sorry only the factory price, but I would imagine the same price as the old one.

Oh and stock should be available if not in the UK in Germany (so might mean a wait) but it was going down fast.
 
Anyone got one yet? Is it better than the Tele Atlas system?

According to MB Norway, that number (B67823395 ) is for the 4.1 vers. Could you double check?

Good morning Oslo,
Long time no speak! It's really nice to hear from you again and as you can see, a number of us are waiting for our TMC to be activated.

I wrote to Mercedes-Benz UK several months ago and was informed they had finally purchased a licence and intended to issue an upgrade at the end of summer 2005. It is now getting very close to 'TMC' day, so my fingers are crossed.

Does Norway already have this option and if so what is your opinion of it?

Regards,
John

Hi there, John

Here is the correct number for the 5.0 version: B6 782 34 89

Check it up in UK, I'm almost certain that the TMC for UK is in this version

Yes, we have the TMC as well, but we are in the same situation as you, MB has not coded it yet. Hope this one is coded for Norway.

Take care

Gunnar
 
Here are the numbers:

B6 782 34 89 NTG1 COMAND DVD Version 5.0

B6 782 34 90 NTG2 COMAND DVD Version 5.0

B6 782 35 63 APS30 CD-Version 8.0
 
Just asked - that isn't working (B6 782 34 89 NTG1 COMAND DVD Version 5.0)

My dealer hasn't got it.

Clarky.
