2005 Mercedes C230 Sport Sedan (W203)
w203 Euro Comand (2005+)

Hey Guys,

I just got a US spec comand unit, so my old Euro spec unit is up for sale. Taking offers. If you feel more comfortable, I can make an eBay auction with a buy-it-now of the price of your offer that we agree on, if you want to feel safer on the transaction. My eBay user ID is nickgailloux.


A few notes:
- There is some damage to the mounting holes that occured before I bought the unit, but the unit still mounts perfectly flush and does not come out at all.
- Does not come with nav disk or antenna

Its plug & play with a US or Euro spec car, though if you have a CD changer installed then you'd need StarDiagnose programming. If you dont have a changer installed, then you may or may not need programming.

The nav will not work unless you have a hacked disc, or are using this in Europe!

I would not suggest buying this until you familiarize yourself with the differences between the Euro and US nav units, there are many threads on it, and more info at www.mbenznl.com.

Once you get a nav disc and antenna, it will work in Europe. Or you can try to hack a nav disc to work properly. (If anyone knows about how to do this, I'd like to know).

Havent had much response, so I'm flexible on the price. If you're even remotely interested in this, please PM me and we'll discuss a good price.

I think it's really a shame that there are people on these forums who have probably read this thread who hacked their disk to work with the euro command and simply refuse to post any info.

Do you know who the original author is? I'd like to find out how to do this, because I would like to buy a Euro command, but I'm not going to spend the cash until I have a way to get it working.

This is still for sale. Though I've had a few questions about this, no one has made an official offer. I'll lower the price to $650. Or make me an offer. Currently this is collecting dust, and I need money right now, so I'm open to someone taking advantage of my financial situation.
