Many thanks to Steve (MBENZNL) for offering the solution kit to make possible this installation.
This car had radio ......
Then it had a the audio gateway installed
iPOD kit under airbag / above glovebox (notice the cables on the crossbar)
And then the COMAND installed all for the love of music ....
Some cluster functions

The best senario is factory installed. Very few people have the option to retrofit a system. Most dealers and audio shops would state "it can't be done". I applaud your efforts.

I applaud your efforts.Considering the 20" rims and custom suspension work also on the car I think that the owner was open minded and seems to appreciate the iPOD system more than most.
Its must be pretty annoying to buy a car and have no decent music. The COMAND option is dictated by the iPOD kit and unlike the USA the car is not prewired.
