Autobahn Newbie
Hi guys,
I am new to this forum but not to Mercedes Benz.
We have owned over 30 Mercedes cars over the past 20 years, and we cannot get enough from them.
Since 2010, I started realizing my dream in making an SL collection, and so far I have nailed an all original early 67 250SL, an 82 280SL and a 2013 SL350, all Euro and matching numbers/original. I live in the Middle East.
Since today was a weekend day in this part of the world, I tried to tinker for the first time today with the head unit of my 2013 SL350, and specifically with the data connection.
My aim is to try to update the maps and the HU software in general... and was able to connect temporarily by downloading the trial version of the BlueDUN software (Bluetooth)... but the extent of it was simply a partial connection to COMAND Mercedes and that was it.
While googling, they mention the WIFI module in the Settings, which I couldn't find at all. And while connecting through my phone, tried to access hotmail, gmail, ebay, etc... and the HU would give me "unsecure connection" thingy and that's it.
Downloaded COMAND Touch app from playstore on my phone, but never worked and asked me to have the Wifi enabled in my car. What am I missing here? It is not in Settings or anywhere else...
Haven't seen such a weak system in a modern car, compared to BMW and Audi.
Any help? Just need to open Hotspot on my Android phone and have my car HU connect to it via Wifi.
