fanatic, do you have a C55, if so, could you please show some pics of the finished product, and any other pics you might have. I have a C55, and i want to do a kvt-915, and nav, or alpine, eitherway i would like to see how the dash looks when installed. Also, is the "teleAid" affected by this???

I would like to contribute my experience in this conversion. Going from 463 COMAND to 203 vehicle.
1/ Changed the angle of the gyroscope on the COMAND from 15 degrees to 25 degrees. (Grey to Yellow clip) - can be done manually with protractor.
2/ Remove front SAM (3 screws) (wipers at top of wiping motion). Requires a mini ratchet tool with 90 degrees head and T20 bit. Carefully removed foam stuffing in thin plastic bag -> leads to ****pit
3/ Remove drivers side fuse box cover.
4/ Remove instrument cluster (needs to be done for GPS antenna anyway).
=========================================
- Run cable from SAM to area where COMAND will be installed. Side driver fuse area is a good place to catch the cable feed.
- clip wire into front SAM in position 24 at pin 3. This position (24) is reserved for auto levelling circuit so if you have Xenon from factory then it might require some extra work to get the extra wire in.
The underside of the SAM is clearly labelled as are the pin positions.
Housing = A 038 545 48 28
MCP Pin = A 013 545 76 26
- on the COMAND side you crimp a MQS pin (well known here) and insert this wire into PIN 6 of C2.
=================================
=================================
Since you dont have COMAND then I suggest you plug the speed wire into the kenwood.
