Talking New Comand Installation, Thanks Steve !

Just finished installing a Comand system in my 2000 CLK cabriolet. Did this all by myself ! Well, not really by myself - did it with long distance help and support from Steve (MBenzNL). System was purchased from Steve, and delivered from the Netherlands in 2 days ! Complete install took me about 4 hours, and would have been a lot less if I knew what I was doing ! The system is great ! Thanks Steve !!

p.s. If you have been thinking of doing this mod, go for it !!

Thumbs up

How much was the system? I've been saving up a car fund and the first thing I was going to get was rims, but I think I would rather have the command system. The rims could wait since I atleast have 17" AMG's (not too bad but could be better ).

MBENZNL, I'm pretty sure I want to do it. I will check back with you the end of this month to try and set it up for your next NY trip.

Thanks.

Steve,

Let me know as well when the dates are for the NY or Boston Trip. We gotta fix my system since it was ruined by the morons that installed the CD deck.

Regards,

Saji

Doing iy myself ...

Yea, I'm glad it did it. Learned a bit of how my CLK is put together on the inside, so would now be more confident doing other small mods (i.e. lit sills are next!). If you are comfortable with minor "handy work", and can follow instructions, it's really not that hard. Steve provided clear instructions, and was able to quickly answer the few questions I had. If he's in your area, you can have him do it, but if not; go for it ! Just make sure you have a few hours, are in a good mood for a project, and plenty of water (it was aroud 92 this morning here!)

The euro command that everyone is getting for their CLK from Steve. So the euro command plays DVD/CD/Radio, and have navigation system?

The euro comand has radio/CD/navigation and supports incar phone and TV...to make the TV feature active, additional parts are required...the comand istelf does not display TV or DVD.

No W211 comands (yet)...still looking for a goo ddeal on a W211 DVD based comand and a donorcar to give it a try on (which is probably going to be a E200CDI of the taxi company I used to work for).

SoCalCLK: mail me...I will be in your area in about a week from now...the number of left over comands (I have stored in california) is getting close to zero.

I will post more info about a possible next eastcoast trip on the board...

greetingz,
