Yes The Install is Harder than a CD changer Install
The Install SHOULD be done by someone that knows Mercedes
So that the Install goes smooth...Doesnt make a mess out of the Install...and Break things in the process
The Install can be done in 30/45min

Install should take no more than 30 min.

Mark I know you love Steve, I'm sure he loves you too. If you're reading/replying this post to deter buyers go ahead, I'm not making any money off of it, just thought everyone could save a buck or too if we did a group buy.

as for the angry inch part, since u two are so close I don't think I need to elaborate or be more graphic about it. ROFL

To mbphreak,
It looks, like you are accusing the wrong person.
I was the one, mentioning Steve. And I don’t even know Steve personally, we did exchange e-mails and I hope, he will be here in FL In the near future to install the Comand for me.
I really don't want to talk people out of the sale. Your idea is great and I appreciate your offer. My only concern is the installation.
I’m afraid most of us here are not able to do it, and I certainly would not take my car apart. We are not talking about junk cars, we are talking about $30 – 40 grand worth cars here and we are talking about changing some electronic elements which can mess up a lot in our cars.
The fact is, NO DB dealer will install the comand. The only one I know (so far) is Steve. If you know of somebody else, please let me know and I will be happy to add my name to your list and order one from you.
Robert

nope dunno anyone in FLorida, sorry. personally, i think our c-class are junk cars, that's why they need so much modding out to even elevate it to a decent car.

I never said installation included, nor did I even attempt to coax you into buying it with me.

WTF are YOU Insinuating?
Because I try to help others ... You post such a Derogatory Insult..You Do NOT know me.
And Where am I trying to deter anyone?....from selling anything?
I posted that to make the TV work that you must program the Comand to work...But Of Course YOU KNOW that....

Yes I do Think Steve is a Good Friend ....
He has Helped Myself and Several others on the MB forums to Mod the cars ...That NO one else could do...

It is actually quite simple to install, provided you have the correct loom which Steve provided - simply plug and play (but you will need to have the dealer enable the IC display)...I did it myself as Steve was not about to do a trip to Australia .

A wiring harness.
"Plug and Play" is the way to go, no doubt!

Final Check on the COMAND

Here it is:

Euro Spec COMAND 2.0 w/GPS
TV in motion ready // just need to get the tuner
Plug n Play // no wiring needed except for tuner
Brand New // yes, new and unused

Final Price: 1.100 + shipping
Est. cost of professional installation: 100-300 // it's a 30 min deal and then you bring it to your dealership for the reprogramming. Ez peezy.

I've emailed everyone who was interested, pls get back to me if you are confirmed on getting one and I'll forward the relevant payment info. thx

Cheerz,
STEVEMINATOR

That's a good price for the Comand by itself. Make sure you get an experienced installer to do the work.

Steve K. did my COMAND and TV tuner install with drive in motion active.
I saw him install it and it's a little more complicated than I thought it would be. Especially the TV tuner. Make sure you get a quote on installation. You need many special tools to take the dash apart and mount the GPS.

Other accessories you might want to think of getting:
Sirius Satellite radio and a DVD/MP3 player.

With the original factory European TV tuner you get 2 audio/Video inputs.
DVD's look great on the COMAND Screen! Steve Krabbenborg can get you pricing on the TV tuners.

QUESTION

Can I connect more than one source to the Command? In other words, can I have a DVD player PLUS sirius/xm at the same time ?or is there only ONE aux in input?
