    Does Star Diagnosis (Xentry) see the TV tuner in the MOST ring in the correct place ?

    Given it actually shows a blank screen rather than 'No TV' it does sound possible that its coded properly but you have not connected the Video input to the right place

    Where did the video wire connect to on the COMAND ?

    Email me via the contact form on Mercedes Electronics upgrades, installation and retrofits

    You may just need the latest firmware installed on everything - this requires (a) Star Diagnosis (b) The latest firmware update disks (c) An SCN online coding account. (i.e MB dealer or independent with a genuine Star Diagnosis machine)

    Cheers

    I would also check via initial startup that the TV tuner was in the same image format as the headunit. Sometimes you get a combination of PAL and NTSC and it doesnt work.

    Is there any audio at all ?

    What happens if you activate one of the AUX ports and attach a source ?

    The part number does NOT cross-match with the car. This TV tuner is for NTG 2.5 (Model Year 808)

    Try A221900 8502 or 6101 or 8400 as per the last 4 digits.
