What about us on the east coast?? Any plans for an install trip to the DC area? Are new and refurbished units the only options available through you?

Steve.

When you get a chance, can you let us know if user manuals for the units will also be available? I heard they contain something like 150 pages of information.

Thanks!

I have been asked whether I wanted to do some installs in New York as well...the units I have are used and/or refurbished...not new (unless you want to pay double the price).

I do have 1 manual...it is THICK and is in german...I will try to get some UK ones.

greetingz,

Steve add me to your list, 2000 e320 with bose, forum doesnt let me email you BTW....

You can order the Manual for the COMAND from Mercedes for about $20.00. Just call the 800 Number. Mine should be comming any day now!

Cheers!

Steve, I too am interested. 2002 C230K, no Bose, stock radio. Live in Detroit though

Or question for others, what about an install of the Harman/Kardon TrafficPro - is it possible to install it? I know, our coupe does not have a standard opening...

H/K will tell you it won't fit. But it will if you use the faceplate kit from Metra. Most car audio stores should know about the Metra kits. You will not be able to use the steering wheel controls with the Traffic Pro.

Hi Marsshuttle,

Thanks for the info on contacting MB for the manual. Were you able to order one for the Euro Comand? I don't know very much at all about the systems, so I'm thinking I should wait to see what type Steve is able to install. I have a W210 and not sure if the units are universal, or if there's a specific one for that model. I guess once it's installed I'll have to order the CD as well!

Thanks!

I only have euro comands...and for your W210 I have a 210 820 .. 89 comand (the .. depends on what year your W210 is).
I suppose that marsshuttle ordered a US comand manual?

greetingz,

The one I ordered is for the US version. Not sure if there is any major differences. Still not here yet from MBUSA.

It's been about a week since my Euro Comand Install and so far I really don't need the manual, but I thought it will be cool to have.

So how many people we have now?

I was referred to this thread from a member here. I work at a car audio shop in Frisco, TX (look at my SN for a minute or so if you're from TX, CO, or WA youll get it) and have a customer with an S55 AMG who wants to be able to input another video source onto a screen in the stock location. I mentioned I might have a way to do this and need to know if you would be able to help us out on completing this install the way he wants it to be done. I tried to email you directly MBenzNL but was not allowed to view your email. If you could please reply here or to my email @ gen2tegb16a@hotmail.com to let me know if you have a screen for this application as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it. I dont think the cost will be a problem if it's not the same $1200 as it is for the C class applications I have seen you post. And if you have posted an application for this vehicle I apologize I am not up on the Benz jargon if you could please point it out to me. Also he told me he has a source for purchasing directly from a Euro dealor if you know if he can just do this or not great, but from what I understand this is not an OEM piece. Thank you all for your time.

Just joined MBWorld... hope I'm posting correctly...

I'm in LA and I would like the Euro Command too... Count me in.

Steve

tarcoys, mail me at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com

I have picked up all comand units that were left at a Dutch MB parts company (they buy directly from MB and only per large quantity...they had over 125 comand units when I first bought a batch of units from them) and think I better start this february thing going.
I will mail those who already confirmed their comand wish by mail, but it might take a few days untill I get around...so feel free to mail me again after reading this post.

I might start in New York...so anyone interested who lives in that area: ACT QUICK (shipping to NY area takes twice to three times as long as shipping to california).
Those with a 210 and comand "needs" that want me to order a wood panel for their W210 as well (approx. 250USD incl. tax new from the NL dealership) have to act quick as well due to the possible delivery time on the wood panel...please be sure to mail me all details (color of the wood and number of switches).

Anyone who is in or wants to be in on this comand thing mail me and give me the following info:
1) car model and year (specifically mentioning (non) modelupdated version when it is a W208 or W210)
2) presence of tele aid (GPS antenna)
2) location (new York, LA or the bay area)
3) need of AUX input
4) need of a euro TV tuner
5) need of RGB connector (if I can get enough of those in time)

I have to organise quiet a bit on this install thing and have to order all specific parts up front so I want to know as much as possible as soon as possible.
I will reserve comand units in order of received downpayments (200USD as previous mentioned).

I don't have navigation CDs (besides a german and dutch CD), this is something you have to get yourself...I can get english euro comand manuals as well in case anyone wants that...

mail me at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com

here are some examples of installed comand units:

greetingz,

I just wanted to say that Steve did my COMAND install and is 100% professional - the guy knows his stuff !!!

If I had it to do again with another MB, I wouldn't hesitate for 1 second !!


and for the price....you can't beat it !

Have a great Christmas Steve !!


p.s. - bump me up on the RGB plug list

Just some questions:
1) Will the euro tv tuner work with NTSC/North American signals? I assume it does since you're offering it. Also how much does it cost?
2) How much is the RGB connector, and is that for hooking up a dvd, or do you also need this if you get the tv tuner and just want to hookup the tv function as well? How much is this?
3) How much is the AUX input? I'd like to hookup a tape player possibly in the future.

Thanks,
Safet

Bagwell,

I understand that Steve is using refurbished command units. Since he did your car recently, can you tell that the unit is used? Does it have scratches or imperfections? Or does it look like new?

I will reserve comand units in order of received downpayments (200USD as previous mentioned).

My deposit is in.

Steve, where do I send my deposit to?

I did not only do Bagwell's car, I did quiet a lot of comand installs of which most of them were 203...the units are used and some have marks (small scratches) and some don't have any vissible marks.
The positive thing about these units is that they are cheap (compared to new), they function and the display itself is fully okay (no dead pixels)...the negative thing about these units is that some show signs of use (some even show signs of DISABuse) but that is something that comes with the price (most units are in a very good condition though).

greetingz,

Send the payment through Pay-Pal

Im getting the euro command on steves next trip and need to get the US version of the NAV cds. Where did you guys get them and for how much???

Hi. My parents are going to europe next week and I'm wondering if I can get a new euro command from european dealers. Does anybody know the part numbers and prices for a new euro command that might work in a C230? Thanks much.

After you get it, go to your dealer and ask to borrow one. Tell them your Cd was broke....my dealer let me borrow one just long enuff to make a "backup"
