hmm so would you think this idea would be feasible: Having a a small amplifer placed in the compartment where the fridge would be. Having this connected to the rear dvd and then to the command aux input, and connecting this to the battery?
for me it all sounds daring i have no idea of how to wire this stuff, im at last resort.

See the online manual here:
http://www4.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars...ensystem3.html
Page 89 has a section titled "Audio AUX" where it says:
"You can connect an external audio source (AUX) to COMAND. Please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for further information."
I see what you're trying to do as a workaround to give you the ability to play the RSE audio through the system's speakers. The question is how easily you can extract the audio from the RSE system. Obviously you have audio out connections from the headphone jacks so maybe those can be split. Or, perhaps there's a secondary audio out on the RSE that is usually used to connect it to COMAND with the 810 option your vehicle doesn't have. You may not need an amp as long as the volume on the audio output from the RSE is high enough since any incoming AUX signal will be amplified and have volume control through COMAND.
