![]() ![]() If you go into your local dealer and ask them to apply the latest NTG 2.5 firmware because 'the AUX volume is too low' or the unit 'sometimes calculates the wrong route' and ask nicely, they may/should do it for free as these are two of the known issues in TIPS that the firmware update fixes. The new firmware adds ECO route, audio fadeout and a few other tweaks. The firmware will need updating in many cars unless it has already been done. If anyone is interested I've relisted the Map discs for sale on eBay at the price I got them for £69.99. The Radio now shows the frequency of the RDS radio station currently in use, and the Navigation now has an Economy route mode. I now had updated maps (2 roads in particular from the Edinburgh area are now present) and a few other new Comand features - i.e. However, there was a period of sharp intake of breath - apparently the 2nd disc was coming back as unreadable, so I had the potential for having a Comand 'brick' but the technician said he'd do a system reset, which fortunately cured the hick-up. ![]() The Merc garage, Milton Road Glasgow, inserted the Map discs as well so I didn't have a chance to actually see what steps it goes through (although I just asked for the Comand update to be done). Before the update I was getting 'disc unreadable, map not updated'. Is this the symptoms of not having the firmware update, or are they good but bad fakes? If this is the symptoms of the need for a firmware update, I'm led to understand that this can ONLY be done by STAR - is this correct, and if so, what are the approx costs? (A standalone Tom Tom is looking more and more favourable.).Ĭomand now updated with 2012 Maps and system update Got my system updated today with the 09/29 system update which then allowed the 2012 Map updates to be applied. On reading Disc 1 it comes back with 'Disc unreadable' then after a few other seconds it says the Maps could not be updated. ![]() ![]() On the back of the cover it does say a Firmware update is required, which my car probably doesn't have, but I tried the discs anyway. I've just bought the 2012 map update disc set - Version 8 Comand APS - it's from EBay but the whole package looks genuine and the seller has 100% feedback.
