When reinstalling a map software that has
been installed in that vehicle already, an
activation code is not required.
Installation process
i
The installation process can take
between 10 and 120 minutes, depending
on the
size of the map software. If the radio
is switched on when you start the
installation process, you can still adjust the
volume. During the installation process,
some COMAND functions are suspended.
Still available are the COMAND functions
for automatic air conditioning operation
and canceling the installation process.
If possible, carry out the installation when
the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle
is stationary, the reading rate of the DVD
drive is higher than in a moving vehicle and
the installation process requires less time. G
Observe Safety notes, see page 68.
i COMAND may switch off during the
installation process automatically in order
to protect the battery. This may happen
when the engine is switched off and the
vehicle battery has insufficient power. If
this occurs,

restart the installation with the
engine running. Similarly, if the SmartKey
position is unintentionally switched to 0,
restart the installation. G
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your
health. All exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause
unconsciousness and lead to death. Do not
run the engine in confined areas (such as a
garage) which are not properly ventilated. Installing
