Steve MBenzNL May / June 2005 trip

For those in Chicago and Toronto, in California (SF bay area and LA), Hawaii (Honolulu) and in Florida who are interested in getting some MBenzNL modifications done in their MBs, we can inform you that we are arranging another trip from mid May to mid June again.

Besides installing the (original Mercedes) parts we also versioncode whatever needs to be versioncoded with stardiagnose.

If interested, mail us at Steve@MBenzNL.com

greetingz,

BigSis

CM208: yeah... but don't know when.

Your best chance is to mail us, give us your 'wish list' (), we quote you our prices and we will put your name on our future install list. This way we will be sure to contact you whenever Steve starts preparing a trip to OZ.

Hello BigSis (I may have exchanged e-mails with you a few years ago, but I'm not sure). I guess I'll contact you as Steve's quite busy these days I see ... apparently even more now than then.

I'm surprised there aren't any broadcasts about upcoming trips being posted in the W202/C36/C43 forums ... I have to post here in another category. Is it because Steve's done pretty much every W202 out there already?

Anyway, kidding aside, I'm very interested in having at least two things done; one is basic and the other very custom. I've recently started mod'ing my car, and now am basically doing everything I ever dreamed I would do to it.

1) I'd like the TV adapter + input switch box installed (or just the latter if that's all I need). I have the COMAND that was done by Steve a few years back. What I'm really after is the switch box to allow me to use the audio input from an iPod to feed into the COMAND. If I can do that w/o the actual TV receiver, I'd probably just do that.

2) I'd like to have Steve install a set of AMG heated/ventilated seats in my '98 C43 that I will locate myself and purchase from a salvage yard. I will probably have them re-done to match my existing interior ; or I'll have both front and existing rears re-done to match. Would Steve be interested in doing such a thing? (a post of his is what gave me the idea )

3?) I'm also thinking of having him do blinking mirrors and maybe illuminated AMG door sills.

Of course, this is all dependent on him making another trip to the NYC area; I'm on Long Island. Like last time, as long as some of my family isn't visiting at the same time, he can stay at my place.

Best Regards,
Steve

p.s. e-mailing this to you too.

Steve, there is barely any work to be expected from the 202s anymore...and who ever still has a 202 (me ) and wants to get something unusual done - know how to find me.

Not before the end of July, guys... but we will keep you posted.

US spec W203 comands (Cd-rom based) are in stock. US spec DVD based comands for the C-class is something we don't have in stock - only the Euro specs at this moment.

All the W202 guys wants Xenon OEM from Steve, but we all know there is nothing in stock and they are hard to find so Bekkers at 1300$US is our only option.

All W202 owners know how to reach Steve and know what he is selling, since nothing new is coming out bacause the car is old, it's probably why it isn't advertized as much.

Hey Steve, I'm honored ... I didn't thing you'd have the time for replies!

I figured as much. Will your sister be contacting anyone when you're planning a North-east trip and forming your itinerary to those who had shown interest in a visit, or should I keep contacting you/her or look for a message titled like this one?

...btw, should I proceed with trying to secure a set of heated/ventilated AMG seats and get them refinished...or is that out?

Please let me know if able to get some of the Affalterbach goodies.
They can be shipped directly to Mark's house, and I'll pick them up.
I can deposit directly to CB&T also.
Looking to finishing off PTS on the Coupé as well. My schedule is not too flexible, so please let me know well ahead of time on my choice of appointment times. (Saturday preferred).
I'll be gone 10-15 May and 9-12 June.
Thanks Steve !!!

Yes, send the e-mail. I don't know if Steve has had time to pick those up for us yet.
I'm also still waiting on word for my dual-tip AMG exhaust for the 3.2L V6 Sports Coupe.
