If not, just wait for Steve (MBenzNL)'s next trip back to Los Angeles. He makes frequent trips to LA for installs. If you want to check his website, it's www.mbenznl.com.
Search through the forums for MBenzNL and you'll see how much he has done for the MBWorld community.

Buddy, it's VERY easy to do yourself. It requires you to remove..about 5 screws and 5 plugs.
Buy yourself a Torx 20 key(to remove the screws) and do it if you're up for it.
Ask some MB dealers to do it for you - some will, it's easy money for a job that they'll charge min. a half hour of labor for.
Here's a link on how to...https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/152101-success-upgraded-euro-comand-instr.html
just remember that the ashtray plug isn't pulled out like the others, you just slide it down.
I really urge you to save money and time by doing it yourself.

Nope, it's plug and play.
If you're going to a Euro comand, dvd in motion cant be enabled on 06+ versions as they need to be version coded by the mercedes star computer - dealers wont do it for you(illegal) so you'll have to dish out around 200-300 bucks to mbdoctor or MBNL(Steve) to have it done
but dealers can enable the Mp3 playback on it.
after installing the comand you may get a battery error in your MFD(steering wheel display), drive around for about 10 min and it'll go away. It just needs to recharge up.

I think it's a problem if you're replacing an Audio 20 unit, but not a problem if you're replacing an Audio 50 unit.
