PB, the frequencies are the same, but the channels are C#@P!!! so i never use it anyway.
Would you suggest i go ahead and buy them?? Again, I have a Euro COMAND.

Polar Bear

I can't suggest you purchase that since I am not 100% sure. It looks right to me, but I you might want to wait for someone to chime in that has done the installation and knows.

MB211

Looks like it should work....

OK..there is more than 1 type of AGW????
Anyone want an APS??

Polar Bear

The AGWs that I am aware of are the Euro (and possibly Rest of World (RoW)) tunes that can be configured for a different set of frequencies and have two tuners actually in them - one for audio and one for traffic info. The other is the US version, which contains one tuner and is restricted to WeatherBand and AM/FM frequencies for the US. There may be more. And the ones above probably have Harmon/Kardon and non-Harmon/Kardon variants.

I feel the tears welling up...Hk and non HK??? What was i thinking??!!
How would I find which one I may need?

If you currently have Sound System audio with option code 810, you should by the HK AGW, if you don't have 810, buy the basic AGW.

Hi DB, sorry, how would I know that? I bought her used

philfna

Can you look up the VIN, and here:

It should show if you have 810 or not...Phil

ap10046

Thanks Philfna, I will do that.

ap10046

If i do eventually decide its not worth it and want to sell it off, would anyone be interested in buying it off me?

ap10046

I tried the Russian thing and this is what came up.
I still don't know which AGW i need??

Datacard for VIN WDB2110616A333027 is not found
1) VIN was misspelled in the request form; (I checked 3 times)
2) VIN was erroneously read from vehicle body or documents;
3) VIN is not of an original vehicle and was forged by criminals; (Yep..nice one!!)
4) The vehicle was produced in late 2005 or 2006, and is not included yet in our database (09/2003 mfg)

Diesel Benz

No 810 on that car. But I thought this was a US car but it isn't, perhaps there was someone else from the US asking the same. Anyway, the standard dual tuner AGW for this car.

ap10046

Hi DB, I did eventually find the Datacard in the trunk, you are right, no 810.
I thought the dual tuner was for the nav bit, right? If I dont want nav, would the single tuner work?
Also, last question, sorry, but would you have a typical AGW part number, that I should be looking for?
Thank you much

Diesel Benz

You are right about the dual tuner, but I don't know if the standard one would work with the Comand head unit alone.

You can find some part numbers (latest ones excluded) here:

i may be able to get a COMAND 20 CC with the agw and the harness from a friend whose 6 cd changer is not working and he isn't willing to spend on a new one.
So it works out good for us both, hopefully?!

ap10046

what about adding an aux input on the comand, if and when it fits ok?

ap10046

Ok, I can confirm, the COMAND APS is a direct plug and play fitment for w211's having the Audio20 Cassette. It literally takes 10 minutes.

Diesel Benz

Comand should be AUX input capable. You should just need the wiring harness with the 3.5 mm plug adapter at the other end.
