Steve was here!
I had Steve install a 2005 US Comand, Sirius satellite and navigation in my 2003 E320 last week. The install is terrific. Steve did a great job. You can't tell that the new Comand wasn't a factory install.
Steve is very impressive.
Special thanks to Steve and Wanda for making this whole experience very easy.

For pricing, contact steve@mbenznl.com. He and his sister Wanda were a dream to work with. For pictures, I'll see what I can do, but it looks just like a 2005 E with Comand. The satellite receiver is under the panel(?) (hat rack) behind the back seats. So far, I have not had any trouble with signal dropouts and it certainly is better that drilling through the trunk.
It does have a DVD drive as part of the US Comand, but it will NOT play video. It is a data only DVD drive. This allows me to write over 4GB of MP3 files to a DVD and play that through the Comand.

Both US and Euro COMAND have a DVD drive above the screen. Only the Euro COMAND can play DVD video while the US COMAND can play mp3 burned onto a DVD. Navigation is a separate DVD drive in the trunk.

Yes. Steve removed my Audio 50 stereo and installed a 2005 US-Spec Comand, satellite and navigation. The whole job took about 5 hours. Contact steve@mbenznl.com for pricing and timing. Steve is currently in Los Angeles.
