W203 and COMAND
Hi guys! I was wondering if someone can help me. I want to get a COMAND for my C230 Coupe and I'm a little confused about the one that will fit in my car. Is the 2.5 European? Or 2.0?
It'll be nice to have TV and navigation but I'm not sure if I need any additional equipment for that (antenna, TV tuner, etc.)
Any help would be appreciated!

Ive done a [not yet complete] document on retrofitting, its very easy on the US cars if you have teleaid (since antennas is there)
Adding TV is more complicated, because Im not sure if your US rear windscreen has the aerials buitl in ot nor, and adding the wiring loom is a major job ..
Nav is built into COMAND ..

Thanks Richard!
Regarding the NAV, do I need to install some kind of antenna or something?? Or it's built into the COMAND?
Thanks again.

Well I don't have TeleAid but when I installed my Audio 10 I saw a couple of other cables back there (like fiber optic I think).
If you can tell me how the should look like I'll remove my HU and check them.
Going back to the antenna, since I don't have TeleAid, should I get the COMAND with the GPS antenna? What else do I need?
I saw an old post from you saying that you have a draft document with instructions....if that's the case do you think it'll be useful for me?
Thanks for your patience with a newbie like me!

Hi amiras
PM me your email, i'll send you the doc.
There will be some fibre optics back there, thats the prewiring that runs down to the space for the phone controller in the trunk.
You are looking for a coax lead with a square grey connector (called a HRS) on it- thats the GPS antenna
And, there may be a thinner coax lead, with a very small metal connector on it (thats the diverse aerial feed for the Audio-30 and COMAND)

Hi Richard, I tried to pm you but it said that your mailbox is full.
I have a W203 without command system. I would like to have the Mercedes Command in it. So what do I have to get, and where can I get them?
How much?
Thk You

Richard,
I would like to get the document also.
I have a '02 W203 with teleaid - would adding the command system just be a matter of getting the new hu and dropping it in the dash?? - is the connector that went to the radio the same for the command, would there be any extra clips or mounting brackets necessary to hold it in place??
Basically what I'm asking is - is it just a plug-and-play install?
Thanks,
Ken
