Hi I know there are some other posts about this but I could not see any relating to costs. I am looking to buy a C220 sport 09 plate. I have seen a manual one but I don't think it comes with cruise control. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have this retrofitted? Are there any...

Hey guys, I'm looking into Distronic for quite some time and there is literally nothing available online that would lead to the solution. I wanted to ask if someone has ever retrofitted Distronic in his W211 by any chance. Thank you!

Please can anyone tell me if its possible to retrofit an auto dim interior mirror to a CLS. If it is possible - do you know who could supply and fit the item? - preferably in the South of England. Thank you.

While I was in an MB shop for used spare parts,the shop owner gave me 4 lights for the 4 doors of my W124 sedan to install them,he told me the wiring is there ready for these lights. I know the wiring was not there. I decided to retrofit the drivers courtesy door light only as a start. After...

Just thought that I would share this info with anyone thinking of retrofitting comand NTG 2.5 to their cars. It seems that at long last Mercedes are catching up with the huge trafficing of Comand units. The newer NTG 2.5 comand units are theft protected. If you attempt to install one that is...

Hi! I think I've asked this before (and didn't get any replies if I recall) but I thought I'd have a go once again. I have a W168 petrol car which is one of the last manufactured of the old design (2004). From reading other threads here on the forum I've come to understand that probably the...

Hi all, I just wanted to share. Here is my new project.... I was using my Creative Zen PMC with the aux input only. I was switching it on, selecting a playlist and putting it in to the glow box for the rest of the journey. It's a little bit bulky device: I know that this device has a video...

Afternoon All Sorry for asking a question that has probably been posted like a million times before. But in my defense I only bought the Merc yesterday! Basically it's a C180SE 2002/52 (W203) which is for the misses. It didn't have the COMMAND fitted however, just the standard single CD...

I have read very good reviews on Alfie / Comand.co.uk and Braybrooks but all are down South. Can anyone put me in touch with a competent Mercedes Electrician closely familiar with COMAND or telephone pre-wire? I am in Cumbria and happy to look at the North up to Glasgow. Thanks __________________

Hi! I've read this thread; http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=8644 about fitting an Cruise Control afterwards. Since I do not know where to look and what I need I wonder if someone can tell me what the requirements might be for my specific car? Is it easy to fit yourself or is it...

Bought an SLK in December without Command. Having driven SLK's with it, I really did feel I was missing out! After getting a decent bonus at work, I took the plunge this month and got Command retro-fitted. At the risk of being told I've been stitched, I thought I'd share the process in case...
