TV Tuner for CLK???
I've added a Euro Command to my 2006 W209 CLK350 and now want to add a TV Tuner. I've read that W211 and W220 TV Tuners will work in a W209, could anyone confirm? Will the following models work in my car?
A 211 820 05 97
A 211 820 14 97
A 211 870 27 62
A 221 870 19 89
Also, I understand that i need to purchase the power wiring harness for the TV Tuner - does the harness include the MOST cables? Could anyone confirm if I need to add an additoinal MOST cable from the amplifier to the TV Tuner and then TV Tuner going back to the Command?
Finally, does ANYONE have the part number for the wiring harness?
Thank you!

220 tuners will NOT work. The one you need has a brown FAKRA connector on the tuner itself I believe it's the 1497 you need. Wiring a MOST based tuner is pretty simple. You can use the Satellite radio Fiber optics to plug into the tuner first. Next, you'll need the power connector. It has 4 wires on it. Power (constant), ground, turn on, and antenna power. You can use the satellite radio power connector for this as well. You will have to get a amplified antenna with the correct connector also. You will have to run a FAKRA coax wire to the front of the car and plug it to the green fakra connector behind the comand unit.

Also, using the Satellite radio fiber optics, you mean that i take the optical input from my amplifier and connect it to TV Tuner optical in first, and then another optical cable from TV Tuner out to the amplifier in, right?
By the way, could you let me know where I can purchase the satellite radio fiber optic and satellite radio power connector? What are their part numbers?
Thanks!

Finally, I think I can just tap into power lines of the amplifier but for the optical lines, can I just use another optical line from the amplifier to the TV Tuner (to add it to the ring). It seems like this way I can simply avoid running wires from the trunk to the front Command.
Anyone??? Thanks.
