You love the American dollar but you must pay Uncle Sam when you get paid! Everyone must pay taxes even the great Steve!

Best regards.
Does he have to pay taxes if he do install in Australia, Singapore, Korea, Hongkong and such? How can you pay taxes when you are not even the resident for the country? Does not make any sense!!

He did great installs! Nice chap!! Thats all that matters!!
I export some of my goods to the US...... Do I need to pay taxes?

all tax stuff does not really belong here and should be discussed in off-topic section.

I'm so laughing

Gee,

we should have little icons that show what threads are the drama on the boards. This thread was too funny. Especially when we go at each other.

I'd have a Starbucks, but I'm busy with my Tanqueray & Tonic.

...the crate with parts got dropped off by fedex today/yesterday...after they kind of lost it's position/where abouts for almost 12 hours (as the (large) box with parts that was shipped out together with the crate was delivered yesterday morning and nobody knew where the crate was) - so scheduling can finally start now.

here's the connections:


... and i get this:



in sum, the comand turns on fine... i can navigate, etc... but there's no sound coming out from the speakers... ( I Have BOSE ) is there anything that i need to do???
thanks!

greetingz,
Hello again Mr. MBenzNL i'm sorry for bothering again but... today i went again to the comand and took out the canbus... i connected it again until i hear the "click" ... and i'm 99% sure i can't insert the plug into the connector more...what can i do more? is there any "special trick" to do this??

here's a picture:


I have BOSE, does it has anything to do with that? do i need to connect a cable where that green arrow is poiting (in the picture)??
Do i need to connect the other end of CANBUS to any other place?

i'm desperated...
it's the first and the last time i'll ruin my w203

greetingz,
You can call me Magda.
so that's the canbus connector? i thought the canbus was the other connector that i've already plugged (the above one on the picture).
But i still have a problem that canbus dangling wasn't connected...cause on my comand there's no connector that fits him.
Is there any adapter?
Picture:

So the canbus connects to the middle connector? the one where i pointed a green arrow, right??

I am sorry for "stealing" your thread but im a bit desperated.

thanks for everything
