MBenzNL mods : I dreamed of it, Steve did it
 

DVD Comand, iPod integration kit & Parrot Blurtooh car kit on a 05 W203.

:zoom: Last week i drove from Paris to Steve's workshop in Netherlands. My son and I were so excited to meet the famous Steve. A few hours later i could drive back home with a DVD based Comand, a 40 Gig iPod fully integrated and a Parrot bluetooh hands free kit connected to my Motorola RAZR V3.
It was a real pleasure to see how Steve made my several months dream a reality. No visible wire, no scratch and all works very well.
From my point of view, no MB dealer in the world and no other could do this job with a such care.
Many thanks to you Steve for your professionalism, and your kindliness.
Many thanks to you Wanda for arranging the meeting and your e-mails.

wow. thats awesome. how much?

Nice :y

WOW thats sounds like a very nice mod !! I would love to have a bluetooth kit. Is it intergrated with the speakers in the car or a seperate speaker box?

werd does it work like the mercedes intergrated system? Do the buttons on the steering wheel and dash work with it?

Oooh! I want this! I just bought a bluetooth phone (Motorola E815 with Verizon) and am eager to get some sort of phone/car kit. Do I need the handsfree kit in addition to that bluetooth module? Most likely...
We'll see.... meanwhile - picking up my repaired car tomorrow morning in the AM! I'll have picts on here shortly thereafter.

Yes it works with the car's speakers, I have a separate module with a little screen from which i can access to phone functions (phonebook, last calls, etc) :

showing us some pictures will be even greater but nice to hear that u are happy with all your mods :y

i wish i could drive over there too.....

armand, it was ouR pleasure

greetingz,

I think he has an awesome job to travel around the world and modify MB's. I wish I had a job like that. :y

An awesome job, indeed. Making money out of your hobby... but it does cost him several nights of sleep every time he is 'on the road' (or 'in the air', if you wish). :D

Armand, it's like Steve said: the pleasure was all ours. Too bad I wasn't able to meet you, but then I would have to bring my three kids as well (holidays)... and usually that isn't such a good idea. They start acting weird when they see their grandfather and uncle... :duh: But it definitely is good to know that you enjoy your mods and love being navigated. ;)

greetingz,

Steve,

Our E320 has a comand unit with Nokia 6310i phone kit, is there anyway that i can get OEM bluetooth kit installed? and how much is it gonna cost?

Let me know :)

wow, great mods! :bow: i must have posted while you're still uploading.

Oh yeah, awsome. You can try it for yourself. Put a folding chair 9 inches from your garage door. Now sit there for 13 hours with half a can of Coke and a tiny bag of peanuts. Boy, isn't it fun to travel around the world. :)

It is a nice drive from Paris to Amsterdam, and getting your car upgraded by a real pro is really wort te trip.

Your car looks great. I like the digital display on the air con. Did Steve do that too?

Steve is able to do this upgrade and more :). But in my case, it's a factory option.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :y

Hehehe...

That is a SWEET mod. I want a RAZR :mad:

UHI - yes. BT? Don't know... still not released by MB, as far as I know...

There are more cities and villages than 'just' Amsterdam. :D And I for one am GLAD that I don't live in our capital city!

greetingz,

Very Nice,
