C250 CDI BE Sport
Noob to MB but love the DIY
Hi guys im getting my first MB, W204 C250 CDI BlueEff reg March 2010!!
Upgrade from a VW POLO 1.4 LOL big upgrade
Car arrives June 2nd already planned many changes...
Got the car cheap but lost the extras... so...
Already planned upgrades:
T10 LED bulb upgrade:
Number Plate Lights
Boot Lights
Ceiling Lights
Front Lights
Any others I can find... tips?
This is the sort of thing:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_3886wt_760
Front Fog to Philips Crystal Vision H7 4300K blue (unless it already has leds)
Car has the standard APS 20
Want to upgrade to the comand...
And change door speakers + add sub
Questions:
There are a lot of comands knocking around ebay from Lithuania for £700ish
Are these legit if anyone knows? and is there a specific one I want... e.g. with 6 cd changer... or any model numbs?
(car has parktronic if that makes a diff?)
Is the centre digital dial going to show the right stuff?
Does it have the Linguistics in the unit?
Will i need more buttons on the steering wheel?
8 speakers = Front 2 x tweeters 2 x door Rear 2 x Coax
Correct if wrong
Does the APS 20 system have a separate amp for the speakers? (im guessing not) Will the power cut it for upgraded door speakers? Or just add an amp?
Sub seems easy it appears for the cdi's the bat is in the boot... just need to tap rear speaker wires (best place to find? back of comand or anywhere else?)
Rear view camera, the kenwood CCD-2000 seems to be good value,
Will it plug straight into the comand? or do i need adaptors to get it to come on when in reverse?
Lots of q's sorry, but i like to plan before i try
Poss illuminated door sills
Poss Quad exhaust
I will do a full right up as soon as I make the money to buy the parts
(End of June may get comand)
Will listen to any other upgrade suggestions... interior or exterior
But I will not touch the engine
Thanks in advance
