Hi all (first post)

Just fiited Comand 2.0 and glove box CD changer (from MBenzNL)
My local stealer wants £82+vat to program car to recognise Comand.
A local MB specialist has Winstar diagnostics and will only charge half that but is unsure if it can be done.

Does anyone have a clue if it will work with Winstar before I take it over at the weekend.

Thanks

Andy Blackwell

Email MBenzNL direct and he shall be able to advise u - if it is possible he may even be able to give u instructions that u can forward to the specialist to carryout the programming correctly and save time...

Just a quick note.
I contacted v-tech uk the manufactures of the Winstar software.
They have confirmed with the latest update the car can be reprogrammed to acept the Comand unit.

Thanks again

Hmm, maybe go to another stealer...

Mine did it FOC.(Weston-super-mare) (also a self install from steve nl)

Good luck,

Steve

My dealer in Aylsebury enabled the navi display for free during the last service.
Bit to far for you though.

Do you know a friendly AA or RAC man, they may be able to do this for you to.

You found someone in the premises useful? Got a name of anyone in particular?
