I gotta say that the euro headunit with the tv tuner is by far the best mod ever. Even better than the engine stuff. We've driven over 2,000 miles in the E over the last 4 days and the ability to watch TV, DVD's, XM, and 1,000 MP3's per disc has been awesome.

During our mad 20 hour straight drive from Tally to NH, we had nearly non-stop network reception the entire time we were on I-95. Caught Will and Grace, Leno, Conan, and ALL the trashy judge shows. Definitely a great mod. Thanks again Steve.

how much? was it an easy installl?

Derik is right, I got my Euro unit back in Feb. and it is awesome. I love the stealthyness ( if that's a word) of it, none of those funky screens sitting up so high that anyone driving next to you can see what your watching. The price is $1500.00 if you exchange your US Command and $2500.00 if you buy it outright. It took about 20-25 minutes to install.

Hammer Down!

Ian - I love those brabus wheels on your SL. What are the wheels on your e55? Very nice too! What size?

Can you use the steering wheel controls to go to radio presets?

If you want this from Steve, you would need to call or email like NOW.....here is the email I got from him a few days ago.

May be too late

Not only does it do the radio presets but it displays the Chapters of the DVD and lets you change them, it displays the MP3 file name and lets you change them, and it displays the tv channel and lets you change channels- all with the steering wheel controls. The Euro folks have us beat on this one.

Doesn't the picture disappear at the front (only sound remains) when you drive over 3mph, to start again when you come to a complete stop?

Josh K

Not if you buy it from Steve ;0)

IanSL55

Thanks! I love the Brabus too! On my E55... Carlsson 1/16 Ultralights. 19's... The ride in my SL on the 20's is somewhat harsh... I think the 19's are the way to go w/ a daily driver.

I will chime in with how pleased I am with the DVD/TV/NAV installation Steve did for me in November on my E500. Works like a charm - I can record satellite TV at home on DVD recorder to subsequently view on the road (my wife likes that), or watch broadcast TV, or listen to MP3, in addition to the GPS navigation capabilities. And yes . . . all accessible from the steering wheel controls.

Amazing job, Steve (and Wanda thanks again for co-ordinating everything). Not cheap, but worth it. I felt I really got what I paid for.

Can someone throw up a couple of pics....this unit sounds incredible.

Really wanna see it.

Thanks in advance.

I have to agree with DerekFSU. Euro Comand is probably the BEST mod one could do to the W211. I had mine installed on Saturday by Scorchie, which took him less than 30 mins. Couldn't believe how clear the screen is and with the Logic7 activated...it makes you feel like you're in the theatres. Here are pics of my Euro Comand.

Will the Sirius radio work with the Euro head unit? If so, which button controls it? I do not see a "Sat" button.

04E55 AMG

I was thinking the same thing. I do not see the SAT button that we have on the US version. Do you lose the Sirius function?

darren_dallas

No, the Sirius sat option is not available and does not work with the Euro-spec head unit.

DerekFSU

The Europeans do not have access to sat radio thus no sat radio button. I have XM but it goes into the 1 of 2 (I think) aux inputs. It has to be controlled via the XM Controller or the remote control. It's the only thing that is not controlled via the steering wheel.

Is there a video OUTPUT so that I could add some headrest screens and have the in dash stuff play back on them? I'm not a fan of headrest screens, but with my baby due in 2 months, its only a matter of time before I need to sit through countless Dora the Explorer and Wiggles DVD's to chill him out.

DerekFSU:

Does the system look stock?

I'm wondering about the placement of the antenna for TV; where is that located?

DerekFSU

Don't know about the video output. The system is stock, euro stock. The only visual difference is a few button ID's. The TV antenna look like 2 old style cell phone antennas that attach to the inside corners of the rear windows.

MBenzNL

good to hear that the TV/DVD is to be enjoyed on roadtrips...that is the main purpose.

Both the euro comand and the mercedes TV tuners we offer are OEM mercedes parts...the TV tuner can be installed in combination with an aftermarket 4way diversity antenna that can be installed out of sight against the inside of the rear window or per original mercedes antenna amplifiers that support the TV...the aftermarket antenna option is slightly cheaper...reception might differ a bit from the OEM amplifiers...

medici 78: We also offer original mercedes rear monitors...these monitors require a pre 2005 center console and look like THIS.

Everything from comand to TV tuner and rear monitor is fully serviceable through the mercedes stardiagnose system...

greetingz,
