Need help regarding 2005 Euro Command
Hi guys..
I'm new to this benz thing. A noob.. a newbie.. fresh meat.. (etc
) with lots more to learn.. So I hope you guys could help me out.. 
Just bought my benz early this year (my first continental car) & done some mods/upgrades on her. DVD Command is part of my upgrade. Therefore, I have some questions that I really hope you guys could shed some light on.. before that, a brief of info:
-Merc Benz C180K W203 avantgarde SE year 2006, bought in UK (right-hand drive)
-Audio 20 (Alpine: cd player with six speakers, no Amp): this info was told by the stealership here based on my vin;
-I live in Helsinki, Finland (for now);
-VIN # shall be provided if requested.
My questions are:-
-would a 2005 Euro DVD Command work (plug & play) on my audio system without extra device such as amp/harness?
-does the navigation work if the Command comes with an antenna and Navigation DVD? if it doesn't, what are the items should I have in order to make it to work flawlessly?
-is it possible to install a rear view camera to the command unit? I was told that I will need the oem TV tuner and aftermarket camera..
Please excuse my grammar/vocabs as English is my second language. Any help is very much appreciated and I thanked you guys in advance.
cheers & happy benzing

A 2005 Comand on a 2006 W203 should be straightforward, 2005 units should be MOST based if I remember right.
You don't need any sound system amplifier if you don't have it now.
I'm not aware of any OEM option for a rear view camera. If you had a TV tuner, you could put the camera to the AUX input but it would not turn on and off automatically like a rear view camera should.

cheers

Even Europe is a bit too small for a sufficiently active forum, I guess that is why you are here too, like myself.

Yup... & furthermore, I don't speak their native language. So it's kinda hard for me. That Alt Control Oy is quite impressive.. their shop is quite far from where I live here in Helsinki..almost 300km..
I wish there would be more ppl here from Finland so things could be much easier..to upgrade/mods is not cheap in Finland. One shop quote me a price for a brembo set front kit for almost 5k euros.. I was like...
