Need MCS for 2000 ML430

Where can I find a resonably priced one? The dealer price is outrageous and ebay is not much better.

Thanks!

First of all, why do you need one for your vehicle? It came with it, right?

If you're interested in COMAND, please mail me for further information. Steve's coming soon!

I should have been more clear -- I have a '99 ML430 and I want to retrofit it with the MCS that comes in the 2000 and later. I currently have the Bose system with the 6 disc cd changer.

Now, that being said, I keep hearing that Comand is a better way to go, but I need to understand what that means in terms of my current system. If I get the MCS, I can still keep my 6 disc changer, which I love.

So, any information you could give me would help alot. I am just about to buy a MCS and don't want to make the wrong choice. Thanks.

Yes, an MCS will allow you to keep your changer, but you will probably need to replace your changer wiring harness, which you would also need to do with a new changer.

Also, in either case, you will need to add your speed pulse hardware. With MCS you will also need a geräte adapter.

For more information on COMAND, search on that topic here.
