Any New Features I Can Get

Hey guys, I have just about every feature available to the w203. I got parktronic (still working on it), folding mirrors, TV tuner, Nokia Phone Kit, heated seats, xenons. Is there any other features that are available for the C class in any other country?

The TV tuner was not too hard. THe antennas are mounted in teh rear glass. Hardly visible. These wires are routed to the rear trunk on right side below the Nokia Phone PSE. THe tuner fits here also. Please see the photo I attached earlier. Next, one ground, one power from rear SAM module, and then main wire is routed to COmand unit. Steve had a ready made cable so I just had to plug in everything. I didn't have to cut anything at all. THe cable fits in the rear of the comand system. Basically it's the sound and video signals to the comand. The comands "TV" button must be activated also. I had mine activated later on though. Actually, i did a swap with steve for the bottom part of the comand unit. The comand unit has 2 parts to it. The upper part is the acutal drive and and the bottom part is the main electronics with Radio tuner and all connectors on rear.

I did not retrofit seats. I don't know of anyone doing that in the w203 yet. Maybe someone has done it though. I know it's pretty easy in the 202 though except the part of installing the heating elements in the seats.

Heated rear seats are available in some scenarios I do believe.

Some time ago someone posted a pic of buttons/features that are installed next to the shifter. Might want to check with our *down under* members on here.

The Seats would be a great add for the w203 sedan
Heated ...and Steve could do a set of Cooled seats!(VeryNice)!!
Also do You have a rear Sun shade?
How about C32 front brakes?
C32 sway bars?AMG body kit?AMG exhaust?Clear Fogs?

Question for you. Do you think you will get any of your money back after you added all those mods when you sell your car? Even if you decide to sell them seperatly I know you will still lose a bunch of money. Is it still worth it? All the mods that I have made to me car have been inexpensive but make the car look much better than stock (e.g., new rims , chrome pieces all of which are not authentic). I hate to see the guy who lives in no name USA or the OC where there is no market for them.

The Kelly Blue book lists the Nav add for 550.00if the car has it
and $500.00for video/dvd
So I think on Some options Yes you can recover some of the costs

You most likely will not recover much from even the rims unless you go thru the hassle of selling them yourself to another owner.

heated rear seats are not available in the 203 in any country. THe cooled seats are also NOT available in any 203 in any country. As far as the buttons near the shifter, I believe they are all taxi related features. Keyless go and distronic are also NOT available. Also, I don't really care to recover my cost on the features I have added as long as I have the pleasure of using them as long as I have the car. I am going to keep it a very long time. I keep my cars around 7-9 years on average.
