Retrofit Comand Online NTG4.5 for Facelift W204

[Kimlims]

Hi.

Just curious, can this upgrade be done for the new B-Class too? Any clue?

[hawkeye]

Latest update:

Everything finally works, had the latest 2012 maps installed and I'm able to connect and surf through the Comand Online system. Super thumbs up to Ricky for the hard work after so many months.

Comand Online NTG4.5 retrofit, trialled and tested, fully functional.

Navi with latest SEA maps

Comand Online

Weather App

Google Local Search

Facebook

For those of you who've been waiting for this, MTL!

Understand that your system is now fully operational with the installation of the 2012 map?

With the 2011 map, the NAVI was not operational?

Understand that the Internet access is based on the DUN concept n as long as your mobile has DUN and allows sharing, it should work less it is the iPhone.

Sorry for this many questions, planning to install one on my W204.

Hi Charlie,

The Comand Online not work with iPhone for Internet surfacing, the most compatiable one is Blackberry as you have to buy a DUN applicatino online if you're using the Andriod system phone.

Internet access speed just depends on the speed of your mobile and the mobile service provider.

Should you have any other questions, just feel free to let me know!

Cheers, Ricky

Ricky, the iPhone link is the show stopper leh. Any suggestion on how to overcome this short of changing my iPhone ? Can I get a second hand cheap blackberry put in my car with a second sim card with same number ? Will it work ?

[ricric_lo]

Yes, I think some owners also using the same way to get a blackberry as the router to get the mobile internet access. Thus, believe most of the obsolete models are only 3G and therefore the connections will be a bit slow indeed.

I bought a second hand Blackberry Bold to connect to the Internet. The phone must have the Dial Up Network (DUN) function for it to work which unfortunately the iPhone doesn't have.

May I know the SIM card do you have the same telephone number as your mobile phone ( clone ) or another telephone number ?

I have a dual SIM from SingTel. It works with any SIM card with data capability.

So let say I have a iPhone with telephone no. 12345678. I get another blackberry and get another clone SIM ( no. 12345678 ) from Singtel. Will get a charger to charge permanently the blackberry in my car so that I can forget about this blackberry completely.

When I carry my iPhone 12345678 into my car. Start the car. The telephone of my iPhone 12345678 will Bluetooth to the Merc "phone" in the command online. When I surf Internet, the command will use the 3G of the blackberry. There will be no conflict having two different devices linking to the command online using the same no.12345678 ?

No. The system will only connect to one device at one time. If your iPhone is connected, you can't surf the Internet but can answer phone calls. If Blackberry is connected, you can surf the net but can't answer calls.

Ok. I have thought about another solution. Use my wife SIM card to clone and surf Internet in my car using blackberry. My iPhone used to synch for phone call.

Not sure can work this way. Rick, can comment on this ?

[MarkCWQ]

Basically, Comand only can connect to one phone at a time. If the iPhone is connected, you can't connect the Blakberry and vice versa.

I guess the only way is to either change to a BlackBerry, or wait for the so call patch from MB which who knows when it will be released. Else, just activate the Bluetooth for both phones, if BB rings, just do a quick switch to BB, if iphone rings, do a quick switch to iphone... thats what I'm doing now, 1 company phone, 1 personal... just my 2cents

For SingTel users, you're able to change your master sim card by dialling *141# using the SIM card which you want to activate as master. I assume StarHub & m1 would also allow you to do so.

hi mark... you mean showing our iphone/ipad screen on the display ? how you did that?

[MarkCWQ]

I added on the iPhone/iPad module to the system.

Is this the AD2D (or somthing like that) which allows the video display from media (e.g BT phone) to be display on another screen.

Does this mean that you can control the iPad/iPhone screens from your command screen? If possible with a BB wifi you don't need DUN.

No, this is just iPhone mirroring. What you see on your iPhone will be shown on the screen. It's aftermarket. The device is connected by a new cable and what it does is simply feed the LCD screen, (be it Comand or Audio 20) with video out from the iPhone. Controling still needs to be done on the device itself.

As stated many times, there is no way still as of now to use your iPhone's connectivity to connect to Comand Online.
