ohhhh , does it make a difference that its come out a g wagen ?

[SportsCoupeRich]

not sure! that what i want to find out - it looks reasonably the same so anyone got any ideas?

What is the part no for the 203 command?

You can use a comand from a g wagon but not advisable as you would have to change I think the gyro etc due to different mounting positions as someone told me a while ago....

Much better to get a proper unit

I presume you are getting a European Comand.


A203 827 5242 = Europe

A203 827 5342 = USA

A203 827 5442 = Japan

Hope this helps.

ta splang. How much would i have to pay do yuo think for a used comand?

[splang]

Well, I paid £1300 for a COMAND and a Mercedes OEM CD changer - this was the price which included all cables, looms, GPS antennae etc and installation instructions...

I got mine from Steve (www.mbenznl.com)
He was excellent and even helped me over the phone with the installation... and you do get a warrenty with it - unlike the german ebay units!!

I have seen some on ebay for about £1400 ish installed for you ... may be worth a look? This seems to carry a 12 month warranty.

Good luck

Steve

thanks, something to think about there. Seems a cheaper way is to buy the stuff yourself and fit for about £700 all in...is this realistic?

Maybe - you might be risking it buying from Germany though if the unit is duff - good luck though!!

I dont mind giving advice on fitting by phone etc... - or you can pop up !!

thatnks splang! We'll see - i'm kind of a safe not sorry guy so will likely fork out the 1k for a ebay fitter.

Although i'm still fighting the urge of a boxster....
