Here is the post
SUCCESS!! Upgraded to EURO COMAND (with instr)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I want to thank Miguk_Saram, Steve, and Wanda for their great COMAND install guide (see below) and 2ManyToys for helping me along the way. I finally broke down and bought a EURO COMAND, I bought it from a guy in Lithuania. Unit arrived in a few days and it works great...
I also found a link on the internet with step by step pictures of an install...so enjoy:

Install guide
COMAND Removal Procedure (thanks Steve & Wanda):
1. open the ashtray
2. pry the shifter wood panel up with your fingers at the ashtray
side...the panel is held in by clips at the frontside - release these
clips by pulling the panel up...the rear of the woodpanel comes out by
moving the panel forwards
3. unclip the 2 plastic clips at the front of the ashtray that hold
the ashtray in
4. take out the ashtray after the clips have been released
5. take off teh connector at the back of the ashtray
6. take the 2 torx 20 screws out that hold in the CD changer/compartment box
7. disconnect the 3 connectors at the bottom of the CD changer
(only 1 connector if you don't have the CD changer) BEWARE not to bend
the fiber (amber colored)!!!
8. take out the CD changer/compartment box
9. unscrew the 2 torx 20 screws at the bottomside of the comand -
turn these screws counterclockwise till they don't go any further
(won't come out)
10. take out the comand by pulling it towards you
11. disconnect the connectors at the back...BEWARE not to bend the fiber!
Put it back together following the reverse procedure.
