With the introduction of the MOST bus based system, the name was changed to COMAND-APS and the option code 527 is now used for COMAND. It is expected that the Vito/Viano will get this system in late 2009. It can easily be identified as the telephone hangup / pickup keys are red and green (NB, so are North American NTG1, NTG2 systems) and the soft buttons to the left and right of the display found on NTG2 are no longer present, and there is a flash slot above the DVD slot. COMAND-APS (NTG2.5) This is a cost reduced (as far as I can see) NTG4 system all in one physical device used from Model Year 2009 in the A, B, W211-E, CLS, ML, GL, R, SL and SLK class vehicles replacing the NTG1 and NTG2 system previously fitted. It is not possible to upgrade a NTG3 S / CL to NTG3.5 because it is not possible to get PIN codes generated and thus the Sat Nav won't work any more. It was the first Mercedes Sat-Nav system to use PIN codes to authenticate the Sat Nav map against the vehicle - thus preventing the use of copied map disks, or 1 map disk being installed on many vehicles. It has inbuilt Bluetooth telephony, 7 digit post-code system, and can support a Split View main display so the front passenger can watch a DVD but the driver can not see it. Please also note that if your system is running old firmware (before 01/2010) it will need an update by the Mercedes dealer, which is often done as part of the normal servicing and should be done free of charge.ĬOMAND APS NTG3.5 Comand NTG3.5 is fitted to the W221 S / W216 CL from Model Year 2010 (i.e mid 2009 onward) replacing NTG3. Please ensure this is the correct set for your navigation system, opened navigation software can not be returned.
