Anyone has a saved copy (word, acrobat,etc.) Photobucket has taken down the pictures and can't really see the tutorial anymore.

Thanks Miguel

Have a quick question. After unclipping the front 2 clips of the shifter panel, what do I do to get the middle and/or back one out? Just pull on it or some special method? TIA!

ontmiss

Just pull

Do Not Pull look for more post to show you how to remove the top vent than the rest it is not hard but you must follow the direction

xzstarszx

Uhm what do you mean not pull on it and the top vent? I'm just asking about the gear shift panel. Do you mind elaborating on the subject? Thanks!

sorry I I didn't read it al
If I remember you first have to remove the ash tray and it will expose everything to you

This is a great DIY, but does anyone have one for a 2004 MB C240? The 2005 had significant changes. I just bought a Kenwood HU from Crutchfield, but they don't have a Master sheet for the install, and I don't want to pay an outfit ~$150 for an install I can do myself. Help!

great DIY works great...i just got the CD ROM Cable and spliced it together with a female headphone jack...very happy with this mod only took me an hour to make the cable and install the cable...thanks

Does this work on the pre facelift, I mean the matter of disassembling the interior center...

Jerkin

lol i was able to figure all of this out no problem... but the biggest problem i had was actually putting the vents back in haha.... :'( had the dealer put it back for me lol felt so foolish

Jerkin

Hello;

Can anyone point me to the correct harness that would mate up with the harness that I have? It is a different style than that pictured above. It only has one bank of the black 8 pin connectors. - Instead it has a white housing on a horizontally positioned bank and two (looks like fiber) cables.

Thanks for your help!!

maverik259

crutchfield sells it...and do you have h/k or regular?

warrenallen

Almost certain it was just regular. Nowhere does it say HK on radio or speakers.

Can anyone point me to the location of where the amp would be if there was one?

Do the trim pieces pop off the individual components? I am goign to be wrapping some vinyl and that could be tricky if they do not.

phister

the components are held in place by the same size torx bolts that the console is held in by the car. the top one that holds hazard button (top trim under the air vents) is held in by 8 torx screws, the lower one with the ac knobs is held in by 4 torx screws, with the ash tray you justned a flat head and push down on the two tabs on the underside and slide the top off, for the shifter trim, the boot just clips off. its all easy to see when you remove the pieces.

Hello!

just installed my w203 command unit replacing the Audio 20 that came with car. Got me the command unit from a wrecked 2006 for a really price. install went pretty easy, about 40 mins. basic swap. everything works except i dont have a navi dvd. is this something that i have to get from dealer? or can someone point me in the right direction?
also i heard of this engineering mode for the command, but i think its only for the Euro? thanks for all the help on this forums!

Not trying to revive this great old thread - but I'd like to put a knob in the switch panel so this should be an awesome reference.
Thanks for posting it up!

tjswarbrick

40 minutes? That's great.

Took me closer to 4 hours - but mostly because I go really slow the first time, had to keep running to the garage for a better sized tool, and getting those lower climate-control screws back in was TOUGH.

But, I now have a bass control knob up in the dash where I can get to it.




So, thank you for giving me the instructions and encouragement to not pay someone a couple hundred dollars do take care of this for me!

Just a caveat for anyone else trying something similar:
The tabs on the bottom of the shifter console are SHARP. I scratched the ashtray lid a bit before I realized what was going on.
And the control panel contains as full-length PCB, so even the unused "buttons" have electronics behind 'em. A work-around was easy enough, but you can't go all the way through from the back.

I'm putting a new radio in my 2004 c320 with bluetooth(it didn't have the phone module in it). The microphone seems to be in the car already. Does anyone know if the wires for the microphone come out behind the radio?(are they pre-wired?). I'm wondering if I could make an adapter to connect the new radio microphone input to the existing microphone.

Thanks
