None so far. It's absolutely beautiful. The base is definitely noticeable, and here in LA, AM reception on the popular stations are good. I don't feel the weaker signals, at least not yet anyways.

www.ebay.de has several types listed at auction.
Comand 1.0, Comand 2.0 and Comand 2.5

Anyone care to take a shot at what the differences are?

COMAND 2.0 is roughly what is in the C class. 2.5 is found in the S class. 2.5 has cassette and DVD-ROM.

There are variations of the 2.0. Not all are for the W203. There are a ton of part numbers for the various versions of COMAND.

Wow, you guys up there must get lost a lot for all of you to need Command. Have you tried the $10 Thomas Bros. Guide?

C32Andy, as a fellow who used to live in west covina, your location doesn't make any sense. Chino Hills and West Covina is two different city. Do you mean you travel between the two city?

I don't think I will be able to make it there...time is something I will be running out soon.
I have 3 202's in which I have to install comand (amongst 6 or 7 other cars) and 1 of these 3 has to be upgraded with multifunctional steering wheel and newstyle cluster as well...it will take quiet some time and I want to have it finished before I leave).

If the demand for comand installs is big enough, I will come back at the beginning of next year .
