Hi everyone, long time reader, first real post. mj50, did that setup go in the '03 C240? I was wondering because the climate control looks different. Was that part of the comfort package? It's a great look. Do you have any daytime pics?

greetingz,

Wanda, you and Steve both deserve a LONG vacation. 6 months would probably work perfect for me!...LOL

I'm not sure when I'll actually be ready for it all, but like I said, hopefully sooner than later.

This is not a major issue, but just curious if there's a way around it...
When Euro COMAND is giving direction to make a turn after 300ft for example, it actually speaks in yards although actual length is in feet. Is that because it's Euro COMAND?? If so, why only yards while everything else displays in miles?? Just a happy curious guy...

One of the main reasons I was planning on Euro Comand!...LOL...Listening to a females voice would probably make me more patient hearing directions.

Then again, unlike you guys, I'm not married so I don't know if my tune will change later on!...LOL.

Nice Korean CDs, a friend of mine has the exact same CD, although I've never listened to it. I recognize the colour on the jewel case though. Must be popular.

I'm impressed of the AUX Input installation. Would you conisder it as an easy installation?

It looks great! I must get the command installed next. The 2005 Euro looks good but I'm leaning towards the MCS2 US version because of the double DVD but that not a problem if I install a DVD player like you did. I have to do a little more research. Anyway, yours looks awesome.
