COMAND APS NTG 4.0 (2008-2011)

COMAND APS NTG 4 (2008-2011) The NTG4 system is a reduced cost version of NTG3 technology. It was first introduced when the W204 CClass launched in 2007 and features a 5″ screen, much smaller than the higher resolution, bigger 8″ screen on the flagship W221. It is the first version of COMAND that supports the Mercedes Media Interface. Like NTG3, it stores maps on a hard disk and has a card reader for MP3 music. It is also built with a somewhat larger 6″ screen for other models such as the W212 and W218. Amongst other implementation differences are the fact that in the W204 version the screen electrically folds in and out whereas in other incarnations it is fixed.The Mercedes SLS has COMAND NTG4 too.
Unlike the NTG3 system, NTG4 did not support 7 character UK postcodes when first released (only 5 character postcodes), but some NTG4 units (e.g. those in the MY2010 W212 and up) have a firmware upgrade available from Mercedes dealers which does add 7 character UK postcodes. NTG4 is also used in Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (X204). Mercedes COMAND NTG 4 supports NAVIGATION andhands-free calling. Installed in several 2008 through 2011 models such as the GLK, E and C Class. It also supports video playback and a parking camera. Enabling those features requires an interface.

The majority of NBT systems have specific interfaces, so it’s also worth checking out the look of the menu in comparison with other head units to identify the NBT version.
