I was gonna go with Steve, but his price of $2500 is quite steep. When the time comes that I want to get the HID's I will contact him again. I hope the price on those will be good.

Let us know if it was truely Plug & Play or if it turns out to be "Plug & Pray"...

BTW, how does this guy have so many of them? And how does he say they fit the '08s? ...and no exchanges, no bad reviews, and no complaints? I hope it all works out, but I remain suspicious.

There was a thread about this guy before, and a lot of guys decided to steer away from him.. sounded like a scammer.. but he's got no bad writeups as of late..

keep us posted 2manytoys... and let us know all about how the transaction goes.

This guy has so many units, I have always wondered where they all come from as well. I have seen so many false statements on alot of his auctions over time. I am very skeptical of this guy too.

2many, let us know how your install goes.

Yea, he has a few of them, but look at his reviews. All high end car parts, mostly Euro. Looks like he is some kind of importer.

You might end up getting a Japanese COMAND which is of no use in the US.

Anyhow, let us know how it works out for you.

"This head unit is the EURO VERSION and can be used in the U.S.A. Instead of the SAT button in the US Version Cars, this has the VIDEO button. This button allows you to play DVD while IN MOTION"

Anything is possible.. Gotta have some faith.

$1000 for a euro comand? Sounds too good to be true. I sure hope things work out for you. Give us a review after you have it installed.

Indeed--sounds too good to be true, not to mention a total LACK of post sale support

I'd be VERY leery of so low a price, especially since the listing basically tells you that once they have your money you are on your own and should basically f*ck off.
Remember, if something seems too good to be true it likely is......

.............actually, that price is not uncommon. There is another guy MBDOCTOR.COM who sells for that price and sometimes lower. Here is the LINK . The advantages are that you have on-line odering and if you are able to send them back your original head unit, you can sometimes negotiate for an even better price over the phone. I purchased my Euro Comand from him and it works perfectly. The problem lies in knowing how to instal it and some programming with star diagnosis maybe neccessary even when those things were working previous to the comand installation.

Your navigation drive is a separate unit that is located in your trunk. If you vehicle came with the navigation system installed, you don't need to swap it out when you swap your COMAND with the Euro one.

Ok called the guy, I asked for him, he was like why do you wanna talk to him? I was like I bought something from him on ebay. he was like why do you need to talk to him, I explained I bought something from him. He then hung up.

I called back and he let the machine pick up. It said his name on the machine.
some other guy then picked up and denyed anything about Ebay. I was like OMG, are you serious?

I sent a nice email to ebay and sent them a link to this page for them to see he ripped off others on here. To think I almost got ripped! :p

Thanks guys for your input!!!! You saved my ***! Espially MARK CUMMINS
