I think you will need to buy a new EU Comand unit, but the wires are same.


hmmmm, importing a Mercedes into Germany?? Just sounds fishy.

...you need a new euro comand and swap it out (plug & play) as there are no european maps that work with the US "comand" (which actually is an MCS II)...radio frequencies are different and phone controller is different as well (incase you get one with MHI installed)...

You might have to swap the headlights as well to get it to pass german TUV.

greetingz,
