upgrading stereo system

I have a 2008 rwd mercedes c300 and I recently took out my original radio and screen to upgrade it with the new model radio with nav and dvd and flip up display screen, I managed to get the radio plugged up but having trouble plugging up the flip up screen. Any ideas?

Your car probably does not have the proper harness installed which includes the plugs for the flip up screen. You also must install the correct ventilation ducts which cool the COMAND unit, otherwise it can overheat.
