No work at all. If the parts are the same, then it is up to members to do what they want as far as getting the console through me or at the site. Might make more sense through the site if they are the same part. Alot of people wanted Euro console and it was easy to get here and fairly cheap. Just an offer to help out. To be honest I find MB in Europe easier to deal with than in US. They order me whatever parts I want and never question it. Changed out Airboxes no issue. They even install them. When I was in US, the dealer (in MD was always a pain saying we can't do this or that for company policy reason etc etc)

Guys, finally got some standard postal rates for shipping of the consoles to the US. They are as follows:
1. Priority post - delivery 2 weeks - insured up to max value of $70.00 - $32.93
2. Standard post - delivery 3 weeks - not insured - $18.84
So these rates are much better. Here is the English website for Czech post with respect to shipping fees. US is country code 57 or 7 depending on shipping insured or non-insured. There are 20.8 Kc = $1 USD. http://www.cpost.cz/en/sluzby/baliky...arcel-id26833/
I have found them to be very good on shipping. I have attached the PDF rate sheet which you will need to increase the size of when launched as the text is very small. Let me know if this works for you guys.

Understand but at these rates I guess it is to be expected. Just as FYI, this is registered parcel so they will track etc. Let me know if this is go, no-go for you on the console as I will be placing confirmed orders for the guys by weeks end to allow everyone sometime to respond.
Thanks,
Dave

I am more than likely in unless something unexpected happens this week. I will PM you by Friday to let you know for sure. Very much appreciate you taking on this task for the benefit of us here in NA who according to MB must hate leather appointments in our $70K cars!

Although I think I could get one through a USA dealer if I had the VIN of a European car on which this particular console is standard equipment, I don't have that. Therefore, Dave, I'm in. And thanks for doing this. My right arm owes you.

Ok, for giggles I went by the MB dealer today to look at E class cars. All of the 2010 sedans had far different consoles than our C63's. Not even remotely similar. All of the E coupes had the stitched leather consoles, but without the sliding panel over the cupholders like the one Dave has posted about here. Is there an option on the E sedans that gives them the different consoles and maybe some E sedans don't have that option?

What'd the dealer think of you coming in and buying a dozen consoles? You're out of your mind?
I was thinking of having you send me a dozen and making a little money on the installs over here in So Cal. I've got to believe a lot of folks would want that upgrade if given easy access.

The service manager thinks we are all nuts as he actually likes the US spec console better than Euro version. He knows what to expect as in the past I placed order for 5 ROTW airbox sets at one time for friends back in the US before the console thing. They are actually a very cool dealership without all the snob-crap I have seen at dealerships in the US I dealt with. The dealership has a full-blown cafe and restaurant in the dealership - don't see that too often in the US. Free meal while you wait for the service to be done on your car. http://www.praha.mercedes-benz.cz/o-nas/galerie/
If you want to do the sale/install thing, I can set you up with him for direct purchase.

I'm chompin' at the bit. Any of those consoles arrive yet?
