2003 W209 CLK 320
Mercedes COMAND MCS II Connections/PinOuts (PLEASE HELP!)

Hi everyone,
I have a 2003 W209 CLK 320 and before 2 years I had made retrofit the center console of the car. My car had from the factory the Comand 2.0 DX and I had changed it with the audio 20.

Last week I had found on ebay a used Comand mcs II (USA model) in very good price and I bought that.

Now I have the new device but I can't connect it with the car, cause the pinouts are in different positions.


Does anyone have a pinout assignment / wiring diagram for this device?

I will appreciate your help!



Thanks in advance

I have the actual wiring diagrams if necessary, but take a look here in the meantime:

Just realized you had audio 20 retrofitted! nice! not easy though! then you will just need a quadlock connector and move around pins, shouldn't be too hard. The link megacrazy sent you is great. But this might be more beneficial:

It's doable either way. What I don't get is why bother with an unit that's pretty much obsolete at this point. Go aftermarket.

Form over functionality for some people. They wanna keep the factory look.

And to the OP, that thing was used? Looks brand new to me!

Personally I retrofitted command 2.0 I just find aftermarket HU really deteriorate the car's value in my eye. Its just my opinion. To each their own. I now have AUX, which is all I need. sure Bluetooth connectivity would be amazing. but I'd give that up to keep my BOSE amp and the factory look.

There is no way new technology deteriorates the car's value. Having all the functionality of a PC +GPS in your dash does not compare to being happy cause you have an AUX cable. If you only use the radio though, all this become moot haha.

Like i said, too each their own. I was specific about value deteriorating as in the look of a car with an after market HU not its functionality. Again i was clear about it being my opinion. Believe me i drove a 2015 dacia with bluetooth for a couple days. COOLEST **** EVER. Maybe im a bit too ocd with my car haha

Hi guys,
thanks for your interesting and your help. I appreciate it!
I have already checked the articles at mwstewart.co.uk but this is not what Im looking for.
As DanielFD says had already retrofitted my center console from comand 2.0 to audio 20 (facelift models) and I use a quadlock on the wiring connections.

I need a wiring diagram like that, cause some pins are in different positions on the quadlock and need to change them to make the comand mcs II work.


This diagram is for the audio 20. I need the similar or something like that for the comand mcs II.

megacrazy can you help me on this?


Thank you
