I would love to do this but was told that retro-fitting command would cost me upwards of 5,ooo usd through my dealership. (MB of Tampa) I had a CLK55 before w/ command and know I didn't pay more than $1800 as an option- I understand the labor may be intense but not for $5k. Is this total b.s. that I am being fed by the parts dept.? If so, what should this run me? If it isn't more than $2500 I would do it immediately. I considered going aftermarket for the navi but would rather keep it looking as stock as possible inside.
Needless to say, if anyone near Tampa/Miami knows of where I can get this done (right) please let me know. Thanks alot.

Who is this Steve guy?
I looked at the website you posted. He seems to know a lot about Mercedes.
I don't have a CLK, just W201 190E. Would he be able to do stuff for my car?
I'm just in the W208 boards because this is my favorite Mercedes.

Steve thing...
I have emailed this guy several times, and asked several questionsthat I hoped he'd respond to. Others seem to give him lots of props, but I have never heard a word from him. Would like to see if he can help me with a steering wheel, but...Just saying to be careful.

try to be patient getting ahold of him, and if all else fails, post a message for him on the forum - he'll see it

Steve. The man... The legend... The myth?
If anyone knows how to get ahold of him or if he reads this, pm me, PLEASE! I would really like to get this knocked out asap. Again I really appreciate everyone's help. (makes things alot easier) If anyone could help me posting shots of my car I would appreciate it. I keep getting a message that they exceed the 1 BYTE and therefore are too large- even when loaded individual. I really am a pretty bright guy, but when it comes to technology I am an absolute moron.

I've e-mailed Steve, but no response yet. I guess he's tought to get a hold of. I'll keep waiting to see if he replies.
If he can do a COMAND install in my W201, that'd be so sweet!
