Installing new map software
Digital map data
The maps generated by the map software
become outdated in the same way as
conventional road maps. Optimal route
guidance can only be provided by
the navigation system in conjunction with the
most up-to-date map software.
176NavigationCOMAND
Page 179 of 496
Information about new versions of map
software can be obtained from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it
yourself.
Updating processGWARNING
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain toxic
carbon monoxide. Breathing in exhaust fumes
is a health hazard and can lead to
unconsciousness or death.
The update process can take a long time (over
an hour), depending on the size of the digital
map. During this time, you will only be able to
switch on radio mode and to accept incoming
calls. The update will be completed more
quickly if the vehicle is stationary.
If the starter battery is not sufficiently
charged, COMAND may end the process
automatically. This protects the battery. If
this occurs, restart the update with the
engine running.

center outwards rather than in a circular
motion.
R Place DVDs back in their cases after use.
R Protect DVDs from heat and direct sunlight.
Map software copy protection
Map software for COMAND is subject to a
charge. The map software has just one
activation code which is usable in one vehicle
only, and is not transferable. You can obtain
the six-digit activation code from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If you
have lost the activation code, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If
COMAND does not accept the activation
code that you have received, also contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Your vehicle is supplied with map software at
the factory. Depending on the country, map
software for your region is either pre-installed
or the map software is supplied as a DVD. You
do not require an activation code for the map
software that is provided with your vehicle.
If the map software on your vehicle has been
installed at the factory and you wish to
reinstall it, this also does not necessitate
entry of the activation code.
Installation processXLoad the map software DVD in the DVD
drive ( Y page 209).

The address book organizes and stores
entries that are entered from different
sources (mobile phone, SD memory card,
Bluetooth ®
import, COMAND phone book,
navigation). You can use these entries to
make telephone calls and for navigation. You
can create a maximum of 3000 address book
entries.
Importing contacts automatically
COMAND automatically imports contacts
from a mobile phone to the phone book.
In this case, the mobile phone must be active
via the Bluetooth ®
interface.
Depending on the mobile phone, this process
may take some time. Depending on the
mobile phone used, only the phone book
entries in the mobile phone or these entries
and the phone book entries from the SIM card
are imported.
Automatically imported contacts in COMAND
can be identified by the Ã/0 symbol.
These are available to you in COMAND only
when the mobile phone is active via the
Bluetooth ®
interface.
Importing contacts manually
i All the manually imported contacts
remain in COMAND even if you use
COMAND with a different mobile phone.
The entries can be viewed without a mobile
phone. Contacts created in COMAND can
also be viewed without a mobile phone. For
this reason, delete the phone book before
selling or transferring ownership of your
vehicle.

COMAND has to process it. The entries are
only visible in the address/phone book
when this is completed.

support the sending of vCards via
Bluetooth ®
. Such devices include PCs.
This requires the device to be authorized in
