2011 E350 COMAND query

[disad-vantage-d]

Apologies if I'm missing something, but how do I have navigation or reversing camera operative without any audio playing? I have looked through the manual and can't seem to find an answer. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the same model as you but....turn it down? In mine, radio etc volume is independent of nav volume. You could turn the nav volume down too if you meant that.

It's an irritating design failure. To use any of the COMAND features, you have to turn the system on, which brings with it whatever audio function was last in use; you then have to press the "mute" button to retain the use of whatever COMAND function you wanted without having to suffer the wireless.

Thanks for your replies.

I have been utilising the first suggestion but hoped there was a more sophisticated method.

After having consulted the manual I had suspected the second, but wondered whether something had been omitted.
I had noticed the mute facility but again thought there may have been a more satisfactory method.

Mute it shall be then when reversing the car into the garage or transporting friends or relatives who don't share my eclectic tastes in music!

Ahh, the word " wireless" . I love it and use it often.

Kids don't know what I'm talking about.

Now it's back to the gramophone
