All, apologies if this is question has been covered before, but I did a search and couldn't find what I wanted.

My Data Card states I have:

SA Code 510 Audio 20 Radio with CD Changer.

Is there anyway of confirming if I have the necessary video inputs available without taking the HU out? Also, how can I confiirm what version of COMAND I have?

Thanks for any help.
Regards
Nick

I don't see your datacard. Did we get you one?

 

[jbanks15]

Nick, does not your Comand manual/owner's manual tell you of all the options/how to's of your HU?
Your datacard should also tell you what version of Comand you have

Hi Jeff,
Yes, you emailed it to me last week. Thanks.
I have been through the Data Sheet and cannot see where it tells me what version of COMAND I have! What is the SA Code I am looking for?
Thanks again.

oh yeah. i'm getting older. It does not say Comand version?

can you check this thread and see if you recognize your version?

Soory Jeff, meant to add - yes, read the manual. Page 38 states if you have RC installed, so I assume it can be installed with this head unit, but want to make certain before I look into camera purchase etc.

r172 experts will chime in when they sober up

You and me both!!

Yes, I had read that thread, and was not sure if I have NGT 4.5 or 2.5, as some of the description for 2.5 (red and green phone buttons) appear in my car, but I don't have a flash slot, so a bit confused.

 

[jbanks15]

2.5 is for like facelifted r171. probably 4.5

You can have Audio-20 in two forms. The older did not have video input the later ones did. I also THINK that the latter Audio-20 was equipped with bluetooth or some kind of change in the BT connecting protocol. Not sure what happened there. Only know that modern smart phones and the older audio units do not happily exchange on BT.

Or you can have NTG 4.5 (2011-2014) or NTG 4.7 (2015-). The NTG 4.5 also had two versions: gen1 and gen2. The gen1 showed itself by having yellowish menus. The gen2 has silverish menus. Gen1 = 2011-2012, Gen2 = 2013-2014.

(obviously this applies to R172 series only)
