We all know this for sure, every dog knows its name.

Thanks MB-BOB.

I was hoping for something consiliatory, but since that is not forthcoming, and you seek to insult me as well, you are suspended for two weeks.

OK, I've used Steve too, and even put in my blue colored trim this weekend (looks great, btw! ) - he and Wanda are great to deal with. But, as far as the taxes, him coming here to the US and working here on customers' cars does give him US nexus, and he "should" pay US taxes on it; he'd then get a foreign tax credit in his homeland. Technically, this doesn't make what he does an "honest living" if he doesn't pay US tax on it. Does it keep me up at nights? Not really. He also hasn't said what he does either way, so there's no real reason to jump the gun, either.

good work Bob.. ...and NONE TOO SOON.....arrgghhh....its very easy for a guy like that to ruin it for everyone.

I wish there was a guy like Steve around to help me with Lexus!!

eventhough I do not owe you any explanation - I DO pay tax in the US (california incase you want to sort it out before or after you trash me some more) as that makes selling parts to MB dealers in the US easier and I pay EVEN MORE tax in the netherlands - I can only WISH for a US-like tax system!!!...Since I know that the netherlands will NEVER EVER get a tax system like the US has, (NL) business will most probably be stopped soon.

what a waste

greetingz,

Steve, if that's the case, then your prices are a steal for us!

Man, I always thought your prices were very reasonable and I'm not surprised of the outcome that happened with that member, but keep doing what you're doing. And I've also gained a bigger appreciation for what you do with the information you shared above (even though I didn't feel you needed to prove anything because of how much you've provided with your services).

If it weren't for you,Wanda and the rest of the crew, I don't think I would ever have the great OEM stuff I already have (as well as the ones I plan to purchase from you in the future).

Glad that person didn't keep you from posting on here.

BTW...If you ever get Euro-Impact strips readily available in my color (you know the one), please pm me (as you usually do with 904 color coded stuff).

It's unfortunate that people have even given this guy the attention he was so desparately seeking with all of his childish claims about Steve. It's obvious his arguments have no merit whatsoever and he is simply another character looking for attention. Until the mods smartened up and suspended him, he was having the time of his life. We would all be better off ignoring such characters, as they are likely to go away when they realize nobody is listening.

MB-Bob, I think a full ban on this user would be much more beneficial to all, including him.

Drex, check your email.

ditto.
btw, what's the difference from ban and full ban?

Blake P

MB-Bob slapped him on the wrist with a two week suspension, rather than banning him completely.

The point has been made....
Just look at the hassle "14cue" is having now with his BI-X lights. Lets see how Steve handles this issue? The entire labor and both lights should be repalced.
As for everything else, I am not going to bring it up any more as life has more to it than that.

I talked to Steve, MB wont do anything about it, i would just be wasting more of my time. Steve has been so helpful thoughout this ordeal and to no ones surprise he is still helping me out!!! He said he will send me a replacement light first then i would swap it out and send him back the defected light. i need to figure out the install then i will go ahead and do what i have to do to get this fixed. it'll be a process and possibily more headache but i NEED this done.

Moviela,

i'll try that, thanks for the advice. i wish i was as calm and collected as you are. :P


Yes ..The Point has been Made....Steve Replaced The Light in Question...

TheBossman

um ok im going to bring this back on topic- steve, Im interested in the navi unit for my 2004 w203 however do I need a new cd magazine since the units you sell are the D2B unit? I would like to know what other parts i must order for the navi. unit along with the unit itself- thanks and hope to hear from you soon

amdeutsch

What does the CD magazine have to do with D2B? Did you ask the bosslady? (j/k)

TheBossman

um...please keep pointless posts to a minumum. Im asking a question- maybe I should ask your bosslady instead? Dude it said there was a CD magazine for the D2B navi units so I wanted to know if that meant I had to get the magazine for the D2B as well- please stay out of responding unless you can actually be helpful

amdeutsch

Then please educate us; prefer a pic of the nav unit cd cartridge/magazine that you are talking about and/or a thread link where that is mentioned. Otherwise STFF or consult your memory, aka bosslady.

JohnCL

Wasn't this question answered HERE?

TheBossman

Ok your talking to a fellow member this way and your a super moderator?.. Like I mentioned before, I was going off the very list that Steve posted on this thread- here it is for reference, no pics sry boss but Im asking a ******* question off what I am reading. Now go back to being a neutral and helpful member and especially if you represent this forum by being a supermoderator.

TheBossman

ok so it was partially. But im curious as to why it is a D2B cd magazine...I dont know if its something special or something that does need to be ugraded when going to a navi unit. You know there are so many threads on here and so many posts/ etc. that its hard to remember it all. thanks for STFF for me and reminding me of a minor reply you gave me

JohnCL

I see where you are coming from now. All of the components in your car are D2B based. This includes the COMAND, CD Changer, phone, etc. If you want to have a changer with COMAND you will need a D2B changer like Steve sells. I also still have mine for sale with 3 magazines. HTH.

amdeutsch

1) Have another Starbuck's
2) Being a mod doesn't prevent me from posting as a member
3) Your post reference clearly identify's the word changer and how you got nav unit out of that escapes me

JohnCL

If you have a factory installed CD changer there is nothing that you need to upgrade. If you have a totally aftermarket system now you will need to replace the changer. I think you are confusing the issue with the magazine. The changer itself is D2B, the magazine is nothing special.

potatobbq

this is utterly confusing for no reason... i think common sense was lost somewhere in the technicalities. if you just look at the command, you see that it has a single slot for a disc, not a magazine. if you have a cd changer, then it has a magazine. it doesn't matter if it's d2b or most.

MJ50

Furthermore we still offer the usual modifications (mail us for pricing):
- new D2B based CD changers for the 203s up to 2005

it's for those who did not have factory CD changer installed.
bossman, you just need COMAND from Steve and all you need to do is get navi disc. that's it~

liquidbond

Somebody must have definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed geez....lets see when steve did the install on my car he had two people and they were working on the car for at elast 5 hours. So lets see average rate of service for 1 hr of labor at the stealership is $100 then that is 10 hours of labor combined and $1000 for the two of them, then lets factor in all of the parts parktronic sensors (i think steve said $70-80 a piece) X 10 = 800.

1800 for install and just sensors that doesn't include the updated dash speaker module, rear light assembly, front dash buttons and wiring assembly and misc other stuff all for a total price of 2400 (something like that).

Now i want to see you go down to the stealership and get the parktronic installed for that price, good luck on convincing your dealership to do install it. most places won't even touch that kind of installation.

So get your facts straight first before you start blasing people about something you didn't do your research on.

Rock on Steve

TheBossman

have another starbucks? Hey f*ck you man..get off from arguing behind the computer. I dont care if you post as a member, but if you are going to be a complete ******* ******* about a simple misunderstanding which other members understood then I would like to reconsider YOU to not being a supermoderator here on the forum representing the site and your purpose is to be staying a neutral part of a thread/topic/post etc. for when things get heated or if there is a misunderstanding. So do your job or get off from behind the computer and live life a little bit off the forum. Just because I identify the word as changer- I clearly posted up what I was referring to for your lack of compitence on my clarification for you to better understand or at least grasp what I was trying to convey to you. Go to a **** site and release some SUPERMOD stress/anger by hawking on those sites and come back with a clear relaxed state-of-being please. Now I also believe I asked Steve the question, not you....
cheers
