Can comeone please let me know the meaning of "MM"
also, just wondering how much did all of these cost you? and where did you get them?
I am hoping to spec my car soon and debating if I should get Audio20 and do the Command myself OR order it together with Command which is a very expensive option...

MM is the US name for Comand
I work at a MB dealer this is why I got a really nice price on the parts, somewhere around $2000.
The factory option cost $4175 here in Sweden

Everything done except for:
GPS retrofit antenna install, Central Vent display switch - delayed by shipping
Axial Blower Motor - still cannot find the mounting holes - the pics in the procedure for install has me lost, i just cannot find that angle!
If anyone with NAV happens to drop the 3 screws on the lower Instrument Cluster cover, can you take a pic of where the fan is, so I can get the proper perspective, please?

Otherwise without the Axial Blower I could have used my existing harness with a slight mod to my display power harness to accommodate the difference between the Audio 20 display and the Nav Monitor.
I plan to let my dealer do the MOST config and code versioning as required.
I spent about $1500 USD (I used a combination of new and used components.)
I did the installation myself.
In the US cars, the Front SAM fuse box, it is Fuse 11 for the display and Fuse 26 for the Radio/Comand
The power harness for the 5" display has 2 connectors and for the 7"display has one connector.

Does command come with logic 7 system or logic 7 is part of the Harman-Karden package??
If retrofit command means having logic 7 system, I wonder how it will sound with APS20..

MM
The US price for the MM package which includes the Harman-Karden speakers, amps and grilles was about $2950 US as I recall.
