COMAND
#6
I see the comand you bought came from a 2001 G500 (part # 463 820 15 89). I seem to recall reading something about 463 comands needing additional adapters. Steve would be the one to answer that question.
#7
it does not need additional adapters but needs a seperate analog speed signal which needs to be taken from for example ABS and this can be found near the A piller on one of the circuit boards: plug 24, pin 3.
The problem is that the 463er comand does not accept any digital speed signal over the can bus (as we have in our w203) but needs an additional analog signal input!! Unnecessary trouble but if you have the comand, it is worth the 45 minutes more work to install it rather than try to sell it and get a proper 203 comand!!

Could someone post the part numbers for Comands that will fit the C230 Coupes? I'd like to find a deal on a Euro Comand on German eBay, but want to be sure I'm getting the right unit.
I belive the part number for the US Comand is 203 820 92 89.

203 820 92 89
203 827 31 42
203 827 37 42
203 827 53 42
the following fit in a w203 too but you have do a bit more work (see above)

I concur, Steve did a kickass job on my COMAND install! Too bad my dealership is retarded. They say they can't figure out how to activate my nav in the MFD. I'll have to find the instructions on here and print it out for them.

I know there have been alot of threads about commands but i was never interested in one till now. What is the best price steve can get a us or euro command for? and how i would i go about installing it since i dont think he will be able to come to florida. can the install be done by a regular person?
thanks

I think that in the average MB dealership only a few techs actually know how to work with the stardiagnose tools...
for details about comands use the search feature...everything has already been discussed in several threads and I don't want to clog up someone elses forum here...

The only thing you need dealer to reprogram your car is when you want your Comand to be displayed on the dashboard display. The Comand works perfectly with or without re-programming.
