Audio system upgrade for my E350 coupe
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone can help me out as regards the upgrade of my existing Audio 20 to a COMAND system for E350 Coupe. I searched a couple of threads but found no answer since a lot of them were only about upgrades of existing COMAND systems. However, I am looking at a full replacement of my Audio 20 system with COMAND or whichever is available for a possible retro-fitment.
Any help as regards the above will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I did upgrade from audio 20 to comand. Process was not from easy ones.
I bought it from ebay for 500 GB with no changer. (europe maps 2012 inside) additional 200 GB was installing cost. It is expensive , because electric guy needs to change scheme,which supplies power to comand unit ( build new one) + you may need to order new frame for comand display.

Yikes! Can it be done at a regular MB workshop? How much time did the whole replacement take? The reason why I want to change my Audio 20 is that it is very slow when scrolling songs on the USB drive and even while lags while changing songs! It gets irritating after some time! I wonder if only my car has this problem since I have seen no-one else posting about this issue.
To make new scheme it will take about 2-3 hours,depends on worker, whether he did this before or not. When they were doing mine, they did it for first time. To replace audio20 to comand approximately 5-7 mins. Last part to Build in new functions to ECU, it takes around 5 mins as well.
