RE: Mercedes Watts245 T200 Diesel powered Auto 2010. Some of you may have got observed my some other posts about buying a vehicle for the some other half, and wanting to add a reverse camera to the present COMAND APS NTG 2.5 device. The goal is definitely: Provide the other fifty percent with a stereo system system that can stream bluetooth, have up to time maps and permit the make use of of a slow cameras.

So i have got 1 of 2 options: 1. Replace the COMAND with an aftermarket Android stereo and install the video camera. Update the present COMAND with. Purchase / Rent a STAR Chemical3 Multiplexer (and linked) w. Update the Firmawaré C0MAND APS NTG2.5 device c.

Update the road directions d. Activate Back-up camera​ Therefore my questions are usually: 1. Can be it fairly simple to update the COMAND using Star C3? Perform i possess to buy the Firmware update? I know i will have got to purchase maps. Nearly all important - 4. Cash wasn't a thought, should i Change out to Google android aftermarket 5.

Mercedes COMAND NTG2.5 Europe Map update. Comand APS Map 2017 Europe update DVD for NTG2.5 in A B. The firmware updates released by Mercedes address. Free Firmware Update Disk Discussion in 'Electrics. COMAND systems read original disks rather than copies much more reliably and you do not want a disk. I own since 2005 a CLK W 209 facelifted which I bought in Belgium on which I have the Command APS (NTG 2). Comand APS Map DVD Europe 2009. Also software update. Sep 07, 2009  Comand APS Map DVD Europe 2009/2010 (V11.0) for A,B,W203 C,CLK,ML,R,GL, Sprinter, Viano, Vito In the meanwhile I have read in various fora in the internet that new DVD's should include also software update for the Command APS.

Evening out costs of upgrade, Would you switch to Android (Offer COMAND) or maintain COMAND. I don't thoughts purchasing a Superstar machine as we can assist check the car over / faults etc. Click to expand.Commandonline rétrofitted NTG2.5 to my W203 and NTG4.7 to my W204.

I proceeded to go for the primary MB products because I desired to keep the authentic appearance and experience as properly as the complete integration with the device cluster and the steering wheel buttons. There are two extremely obvious downsides, however: (a) Car manufactures will continually end up being behind in liberating new technologies. NTG2.5 has been launched around 2008, so it was probably in the helping to make since a few of yrs previously, and it had been finally launched onto around 2012. So we are usually working with 10-12 decades old technology.

But actually if you buy a Watts205 with NTG5.2, you are searching at technologies released in 2014 therefore probably developed in 2012-2013, i.age. 5-6 decades back. (n) When working with the original car producer's infotainment systems, the cost is likely to be far increased than Android devices bought off eBay. Even setting apart the 4-body cost of a brand name new MB COMAND device (elizabeth.h.

If retrofitting), anything to do with unique maps, permit, code etc will end up being more expensive than the costs linked with installing an after-market gadget. So I put on't see a direct evaluation between latest-téch low-cost nón-MB gadget, and original MB device - they differ on several parameters. Seeing that said, I went (double) down the primary MB router, bécause on the guidelines that matter to me this was the right solution, however I feel well conscious thát my NTG2.5 at the time and NTG4.7 now have continually been previous tech, in truth they have got been therefore even when released on new cars. Therefore there's no certain choice right here: it't a selection between creativity and functionality. PS - I didn't contact on dependability, and on the third choice which is certainly an costly non-MB device elizabeth.g Kenwood/Pioneer/Alpine etc.
