Question US Comand System?

I'm newbie to this bb, I just stopped by my MB dealer and requested a NAV system on my 99 CLK 430. Not possible, they said. I see this Comand system on previous posts, can I get some details? Part listing? Someone that can do this? Can I do it myself?

Thanks in Advance.

Welcome to MBWorld!

The guys at your dealership are complete bone heads, because yes, you can install a COMAND in a 99 CLK430, just they are too lazy to do it them selves, yes it is doable, but people ask Steve the Benz God to do it. Contact MBenzNL on the forums, that's Steve or you can email him at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com. I believe the part number is A 208 820 38 89. Good luck, and once again, welcome!

Can you do it yourself? It looks like Steve only works the East Coast...or LA...to which Seattle is quite a distance.
