Command....wash. dc
Hello folks,
I wanted to say thanks for a wonderful forum you all have here. I have been reading quite alot, but rarely post. If it wasn't for the board I wouldn't have discovered Steve.
I recently had a command with the TV option and aux installed by Steve MBenzNL on my C32.
Steve was Great to work with, and he has my vote on any future mods to my car
Now that I have the Mod bug any recommendations from you all?
One last thing, wheres the rest of the C32 owners living in wash dc metro area?......would be nice to have a get together as those nice folks from Caly seem to have

MBenzNL,
I have the US version of the Command. I would love to have a TV in my car. Can you make this happen?
Thanks,

Hello Carl,
How do we go about getting us owners together for a meet?,
I really want to see those mods you have on your car
I got the mod bug, and I'm always open to suggestions for more speed. Would be cool if we could make it happen.

Showing the command to you , wouldn't be a problem. I can call Bensitto, and have him meet us so you would be able to see command with TV tuner. I live in Rockville, so we aren't that far apart Maybe if we set a date in the near future we could get some more C32's out. Would be cool to see everyones rides

COMAND external amps
Steve, am I correct in believing it is possible to add tv/ or at least video input, to my Canadian COMAND. Also, I have the non-bose version and wanted to add a good external amp. Is there any way to get "line-level" outputs from this unit? -I really want to get some quality hi-fi out of this thing, even if I have to go into it and solder them myself 
TIA

Steve, What about just VIDEO INPUT
If I don't necessarily want the TV tuner, but I do want the ability for video input (CD/VCR or Rear Camera so I can see my friends with the flashing red/blue lights before they see me
) and/or the ability to add an amp @ line-level inputs on an American/Canadian Unit (No-Bose), can I do this???

These modifications take time though...time is something I hardly have...nevertheless I hope to have both items available soon...
