Hi, i have retrofitted comand, but im not 100% satisfied over the color matching to the rest of the panels. Is it possible to change the face cover and do someone have a part number? (For black)


Thanks

Nuru

It is possible, but you will probably have to determine what your part number is and ask the dealers what is the part number for Black.

Here is a Comand HU Pn A 204 870 34 96 and the face plate is black
Maybe if you contact the dealer you can get them to provide you a part number?

Yes, I was thinking along those lines too, is this the plate with all the buttons for the phone and radio and disc including the pcmcia port? I was thinking what it would look like in aluminum? All the trim I have is aluminum in the car. Can anyone of our tech savy forum members photoshop the stock black plate into aluminum? that would be very much appreciated....

Remember that cars with code 810 (MY2010) have the newer charcoal grey panels, both HU and air outlet.
Mixing these up with black wont look good.

Hey Ronjr, thanks for the photoshop, can you just do the panel up to the radio buttons only? forget about the command faceplate and the part with the a/c vents. many thanks.

Well I've seen enough. I'm going to go wash my eyes out now....OMG.

Nuru

Yeah, that is pretty stunning.

It looks... um...



...oh, pardon... feeling a little... *BARF*...

Where can i see if i have code 810?

I think my car is a 08/09? I have the new deeper Cluster, and all panels are more "matte" then others i have seen?

I could find part no.A 204 870 34 96 on trademotion.com? Any picture of it?

matthew121170

Now replacing the mate black with the same color wood trim would not be too bad, but i've never seen that anyplace.

here is a pic of one with a Monitor on top of it.

Hi,

Did a quick google search and found this company:
http://www.bitrim.com/
They have a nice dash insert.

ericwu

Thanks for the info. I will check it and want to get a set of piano black for my w204.

Davide

Did someone have a part number for the new face plate with the more matte black?

Thanks

Nuru

The faceplate of the Comand is visible below the display, which is ontop of the Comand Unit, i just do not have one handy of just the faceplate from a full front view perspective. Now unless what you are calling the faceplate is not the front plate on the Comand unit, which surrounds the buttons and CD and memory card slots, if that is not it, then you got me.

Davide

I have searched the EPC but the only thing i could find is the entire head unit..
Is it possible that mercedes dont sell it?

vic viper

Old HU - flat black
New HU (2010->) charcoal grey

Davide

thanks vic, but do you have a part nr. for the plate?

Only thing i can find in EPC is the entire Head unit..?

Det går inte att köpa själva panelen löst, man måste tyvärr byta hela huvudenheten om man vill ändra färg.

Some don't like the true answer if they expect a cheaper option existing.
