I have ordered a new W164 ML 350 with the standard audio 20 system.
I bought a used comand from a friend in very good condition which has been originaly factory installed in his W164 model.
Do I just plug everything in and comand works OR do I have to visit workshop for any programing ?
Thank's friends.

Well finally I found the answer to the above question myself. I Installed the comand aps to my car and I realised that I had to visit an MB dealer to make it work. They just pluged in the diagnostic program and in a minute it was working. I have to go again next week in order to make further programming so as to have the navi directions on the instrument cluster too.
Of course the comand APS doesn't play mp3 or dvd movies so checking on e-bay I found an adaptor which you connect to the comand and you can then plug an external dvd mp3 etc player. The pricefor adaptor and dvd mp3 player was around 400 EUR by a German dealer and it seems that you can control dvd from the comand unit. What I don't know is if I have to use a second adaptor for tv tuner or if there is a mercedes tuner that can be used.
Any ideas or suggestions my friends ???

Hi Thanos are you from Greece?

I think you you don't need to install only MB tuner.

Hi Andreas,
yes I come from Greece. I know that I can install many tuners but the problem is that I want to control tuner's functions from the comand unit.
