not hard at all. i can only assume that an installation of a comand unit is the same as the installation of an audio 10 HU, so check out my install instructions:

i hope that helps; that's what it's intent was.

The installation of a command system is nothing like the installation of any other radio system. I just completed an installation of a command system into my c230 and it was quite an experience. First make sure you obtain the correct command system. Next make sure you find the best installer in your area (if you are in the San Francisco Bay area I can suggest a great installer). Next contact richard (@rpa@ibex.co.uk ) for help. He is the guru in installing these systems. He will be able to answer any question you might have
My system is working great but not at great expense (over $500.00 for installation and $2100.00 for the command system). The installer is the key. Find a good one.
Contact me if you have any question or contact richard if you have any specific command system questions.

Thanks for your post.

I ma VERY interested in installing COMMAND 2.0 on my 2001 CLK55.

Please provide me with the following:

1. A detailed/price list for the COMMAND system; and,

2. The name/address/phone number of the Bay Area installer that you recommend in your post.

**Also, if you have any pics of the install,please e-mail them to me.

THANKS!

Did you build the wiring harness that richard sugested, or did the installer cut the old wiring harness and make that work?
