Just wanted to say thank you to everyone's advice on my COMAND instal.
MY2000 ML 430

As we know Mercedes Uk say they are not possible and are as un helpful as possible.

After buying the last piece of the jigsaw on Saturday I now have a working COMAND system, and to be fair it is great :bannana:

There is a chap at Wandsworth (Chelsea Mercedes) called SAJ who was very helpful in fact.

Just f.y.i I bought the COMAND on ebay from Germany for £300, so it is acheivable. The parts were a further £200 but all in all it will probably add that in value when I come to sell the car

Thanks Steve it was useful having another ML guy to pester.

I am now considering the TV option but I'll give everyone a months grace before I start pestering for advice !

no probs .. tv is easy peasy on the ML (well relatively :D )

My thanks go to Richard (ibex.co.uk) & Frank (pandora) for their unending patience when I did mine. Just glad I can pass a bit on.

Richard is the daddy of COMAND. I bugged the hell out of him and he was an enormous help. There is no way I would have been able to buy the parts without the part numbers, which Richard supplied.

Hi,

Good to hear you got a succesfull instal on your ML. I just did the same thing, but I cant get the NAVI part to work. The unit isnt picking up any GPS signal! What can it be? Do I need to give it to mercedes and get them to run a diagnostic on it?

Many thanks

Pete
