I have a feeling alot of these are going to be widely available really soon...


Hey bagwell who was your source for the COMMAND?

I am looking to get a Euro one and I cant seem to get any sources that will just send me the retrofit kit. The west coast guys wont talk to me.

I got mine thru Steve -- he is THE GUY to get them from...he's based in the Netherlands, but is currently in the beautiful California coast city of San Francisco.

He has a lot of requests for these, so be patient for him to get back to you. He has used or refurbs only.

Bagwell:

What did you say to the dealer to get the command activated? I have 2 dealers near me. I think if I go to my normal dealer they will notice it isnt stock and b!tch about it. If I go to the other dealer what should I say. I was thinking "after I gave my friend a jump-start it isnt giving me direections anymore" what did you tell them?

Thanx

I haven't been to the dealer for COMAND "present" setting yet...there's no rush...it works fine......all it does is make the arrows pop up on the DAS screen....anyway, I'll prob try the same thing whenever I bring it in for regular service.

It probably doesn't fit anything older than your C-Class. But the new CLK has this type of radio, and I am sure that some future models will also. I can't say that it will work in other models, but it will fit.

Expel headlamp protection is a (typically) slightly thicker guage 3M film applied over the headlamps. Most retailers that sell the 3M material as a clear bra also sell material for the headlamps. The idea is that it cushions the impact of stones that might hit your headlamps reducing the chance of breaking the housing (which is REALLY pricey!).

Which is mentioned in his signature.

I'm surprised anyone cared - there are so many threads hijacked on this forum we should have Tom Ridge as moderator.
