I am adding bluetooth, ipod, and back up camera to the factory COMAND unit.

Anyone know how to remove the center console to access the head unit? I understand it comes out as one unit and there are 6 screws.

Thanks.

OK, after hours of fruitless searching and even paying for this information, I figured it out. If you have a w215 and need to gain access to the head unit, send me a message. Thanks.

what kind of unit are you adding?

Was it hard to change out the Head Unit to add Ipod and backup camera support to the stock unit? How well does it work? I'd like to hear more about it.

This info and other such data is available on the MB Star Manual Library for the CL (also includes the S model). If anyone is interested in a copy, email me.

I see, I'm just curious to if this can be added to the stock comand system.

Jud Chapin

I doubt it. It's just a DVD.

So you cant add Ipod compatibility or Aux or rear camera to the stock Comand system?

Dension makes an iPod adapter that will work with the stock COMAND unit. The model you need depends on the year. Check enfigcarstereo.com

Alright, what do I search for on the website? I typed in a couple different keywords and no response.

I installed a back up camera, sat radio, and ipod (audio video) in my CL.

It was not difficult overall but it was tricky to remove the console to get access behind the command unit. But, once you've done it is pretty easy.

The back up camera and videos play on the head unit screen and the camera came mounted on a license plate frame.

The satellite radio is Sirius and works with SAT button on the command.

Let me know if you need more info- drop me an email or post.

Yes I'd like more information.

What version COMAND do you have?

What did you do or use to achieve this? How are you able to install backup camera and ipod connect at the same time?

Have you looked into the night vision mod?

More info on how you installed it or who installed it? Do you have videos or pictures of it in use or the install?

Pull up the compatibility chart and find your model:

Then search for the correct model number on Google or Enfig.
