The next MBenzNL (US) installation trip is scheduled for October/November. This trip will go to Seoul, Sydney, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, either New York or Boston and maybe to Washington – other destinations might be possible but somehow I think this will take enough time already.

Like last time we offer a couple of modifications at a special discount price – these specials are ONLY valid for the upcoming trip and ONLY when deposits are received before September 28 AND valid for those who order a self install kit before that same September 28.

For the W209 we offer the following specials:
- refurbished eurospec D2B comand (for the 209s up to 2005): 1450USD incl 3 months warranty (normally 1600USD)
- new 2003 US spec D2B comand (for the 209s up to 2005): 1850USD incl 12 month warranty (normally 2000USD)
- new 2004 US spec D2B SAT-compatible comand (for the 209s up to 2005): 2000USD incl. 12 months warranty (normally 2200USD)
- new 2005 US spec MOST based DVD “comand” (MCS II) for the 2005 and up 209s: 2100USD incl. 12 months warranty (normally 2500USD)
- AMG trunklid spoilers (for coupe and conv - new BUT stuck on a car before...limited quantity and colors available) for 175USD (shipped, excl. installation)

Furthermore we still offer the usual modifications (mail us for pricing):
- power folding sidemirrors with headlight switch…the 209 has the ability to autofold the mirrors when locking the car
- euro anti blind spot (convex) mirror glasses with auto diming driverside feature
- new MOST based CD changer for the 2005s and up (with or without MP3 playback)
- refurbished or new D2B based CD changers for the 209s up to 2005
- UHI and/or MHI (integrated) phonekits
- updated taillights in red/clear or red/smoked
- wood/leather steering wheels (different color combinations available)
…and whatever else that was offered by Mercedes as optional equipment…

Most of the people here are familiar with us and the way we work…for those who aren’t, please do a search on MBenzNL to read up on experiences that people had with us in the past.
Feel free to email us with whatever question you have or with possible orders: info@MBenzNL.com

greetingz,

 

Hi Steve - Currently have a 2004 CLK 500 cab with the V60 (TDMA) phone with Lingutronic. Would like to move to a GSM based phone - perhaps the V600. Some questions for you:

Will the UHI and/or MHI (integrated) phonekits work with the V600 and what other phones will it work with? Do the phones have to be Mercedes versions (such as the MB version of the V600)?

According to my Mercedes dealer, the my system can't be upgraded to GSM - will your kits make it work, and will the antenna work correctly with GSM or will it need to be switched out (I don't want an additional antenna)?

Will all COMMAND features/Lingutronic still work?

Is the - UHI and/or MHI (integrated) phonekits Mercedes parts or aftermarket?

What are the parts/installation costs?

When would you be in LA?

Thanks,
Gard

 

1) what is new???
2) yes it will work and will work with your antenna
3) yes
4) mercedes - we bareky ever use/sell aftermarket parts
5) mail us
6) don't know other then OCTOBER

To you ever go to texas? if so, when would you say you'd come around? Dallas / fort worth area.

 

Steve does go to TX every once in a while, but I don't expect him to go there during his upcoming trip...

greetingz,

BigSis

 

Just a reminder, guys and girls! Steve's upcoming US trip will start soon (Seoul and Sydney will have to wait till later...) - and all deposits have to be sent before September 28!

This will leave us with some days to gather some last parts and get them shipped to the USA in time. We prefer not to get the same problems with our shipment(s) as the last couple of times - when people actually confirm their order too late, having us end up with postponing the shipment until one or two days before Steve actually leaves, and then get a call from FedEx that our shipment is being held by customs.

Steve prefers to start working on some installs right after his arrival - but that is something he can't do if the goods are still in Memphis.

Flight to and from the USA has been booked as well: my brother will arrive in San Francisco on October 4 and will leave on the 27th again. He will do installs in SF, LA, Chicago, Toronto, East Coast (NY and / or Boston, DC - maybe VA - and Miami). Exact dates of when he will be in what specific area will ALSO depend on how soon we can get the deposits - as this will give us an idea of how much time is needed for all the installs.

Thanks - and if you do intend to get some mods done by MBenzNL, don't wait too long.

greetingz,

BigSis

 

East coast people leave your deposits so he can make a pit stop on the east coast!!!

 

...the specials are no longer available (09/28 now) as we are packing up to get parts shipped out in time...again the number of confirmed orders on the eastcoast is dissapointing...ah well, anyways: WANT SOMETHING INSTALLED - CONFIRM YOUR ORDER NOW.

greetingz,

 

MBenzNL,

any chance that you will visit South East Asia region? I'm thinking of getting the COMAND from you but I'm worried that the local workshops can't install the COMAND, not to mention Daimler/Chrysler workshop.

 

YES! Steve will go to Seoul and Hong Kong some time in November. If you want to get some more info, or even have Steve install some mods for your, please send us an email: info@MBenzNL.com.

greetingz,

BigSis

 

steve,my brother have difficulties installing the rear tail lights.
do you have any idea how to install it?required bending bending?is it?

u have any pics of installing the rear W209 tail lights?thnx

 

It seems that some people from east coast received the confirmation mail from Steve. But not me. I sent out the order mails a few times but did not hear anything yet.
Please email me at jibeeny@yahoo.com

 

do you have any black spoilers?

 

thanks steve! got the spoiler yesterday. Perfect fit and the paint matches perfectly. Car looks awesome. Now just need 19" wheels, lowering suspension, navigation, brabus bodykit, dual exhaust, supercharger, and a fistful of cash.

 

Dkim, post some pictures for us to see..... Sent you a PM.

 

check me out! Oh and i Zaino

 

my other zaino-ed baby. Too bad it's up on ebay for sale

 

dkim,

Nice ride man...... I want to Zaino my car too but just haven't had the chance..... Hey I have a set of renntech springz that are perfect for your car.... would you be interested?

 

xtain, thanks man...i'm still shopping for springs. I havent done the research on them yet. I want about a 1.5" drop all around. I'm gonna be putting on 19" s eventually. I dont like the look of the rear fender covering part of the wheel. I'll look into it and keep your springs in mind.

thanks

 

yeah man no worries. The renntech springz are the best on the market and will give you a very agressive stance without having the SLAMMED look. It will give you about a 1/2 finger gap all the way around........ let me know...
