Comand EU and phone

Hello,

I just bought a 2001 class C with a comand 2.0. I got TV on it but no phone.

When I push on the phone button, the screen display 'No phone intallated".

Can you explain me how to install a phone on the comand.

Thanks

Nothing MB related (sorry)
When you say 'comand EU', I take it you have a Euro spec MB? If that is the case, it is very likely that your car is not even pre-wired for phone.

If the car is NOT pre-wired for phone, it will require more parts, more time to install and it will be more expensive to retrofit a phone kit in your car. Doable, but not as easy compared to retrofitting a phone kit in a pre-wired car...

Here is a link with some phone info:

2000-2001 the phone system was optional. It is a good excuse to get the 2005 armrest cover and have your car prewired. I assume it is a right hand drive car.

Hi V.!

Send me a PN with your chassis number. I can tell you if your car is prewired.

Best regards,
Marks

If it has a mic in the base of the mirror and an antenna on teh rear window - it is likely to be prewired...if those 2 parts aren't there - no pre wiring for sure (which will be the case as yours is eurospec)
