This might be a silly question, but how exactly does the MB gps for comand see up through the dashboard? I use a seperate gps system at the mo and it always needs a clear view of the sky. What is the difference with the MB antenna. I'm looking to retrofit comand soon.

So ... new car coming on Tuesday :bannana: ... no COMAND (:() ... yet :devil: .... but, in the meantime I intend to use the XDA mini, with TomTom, and a bluetooth GPS receiver, (which is the only bit I'm missing.) Hundreds of these little gadgets on fleabay nowadays ... does anybody use one...

:o I bought the dummy GPS antenna below... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5863345828&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 ...with the intention of sticking on my CLK to complete the look of my COMAND install, however, upon doing a bit of playing around with it on...

I've fitted COMAND to my CLK! I'm very pleased with this and it looks completely OEM, apart from the lack of a GPS antenna on the roof. What's the collective opinion on fitting a dummy antenna? Lame? Cool? Waste of time? Such an antenna could be something like...

when putting a gps aerial under the dash where is the best place to locate it? thanks :)

Hi This is my first post so hello :-) I’m having trouble identifying what roof mounted GPS/GSM antenna my UK 2003 ML 270 CDI needs. From the document “Retrofitting COMMAND 2.0 DX to Mercedes Benz ML W163 Vehicles” it suggests I need the 163 820 15 75 MY 2002+ combined GPS phone antenna...

Recently indulged in the world of Sat Nav (TomTom 5) and travelled to Crawley last week only to notice the following regarding my speed. Car: V230 Car speedo: 70mph GPS speed: 62mph I was a bit surprised.. but it seemed the faster i went, the larger the gap between my car speed and that...

I've got the TomTom Bluetooth GPS Receiver in one car.. working with a PDA and now have an option of getting a Holux GPS cradle to work with my XDA2 phone. However on closer inspection the two SiRF chipsets are different types. I wonder if anyone has any experience of comparing the functionality...

I'll be needing an ariel for my DAB radio, and a GPS ariel wouldn't hurt either. I'm just wondering if there is a single antenna that would kill two birds with one stone? Would also be handy to have a GRPS antenna for a mobile phone in it too... I know im asking too much! :rolleyes:

Anyone know anyone who has one of these yet? www.gpsinforad.co.uk Seems to be a bargain at only £80!

i have a command 2.0 in a w203. looking for a dashboard antenna. perchased one from the dealer but the connection end does not fit as it is round, i require a square connection. what is the right part number, is it possible to purchase a converter thanks in advance

Hi I have decided that its high time that I tidy up my dashboard. Rather than have two GPS blob's (excuse my technical terms), I want to split it, to give me two feeds, one to APS 30 Sat Nav and the other to my Origin B2. I remember reading that this is possible, but can't find the...

I have a 2000 ml and am retrofiting comand. The wire is behind the head unit for the GPS aerial but i am now concerned that this doesnt actually have an aeriel on the end of it! There is no aerial on the roof just a grommet? may be it is not an external aerial? Does anyone know if i need to...

Has anybody cut and joined a GPS antennae cable? Am I right in presuming the cable is like any other COAX cable and is easy to join? Solder and heatshrink? Anybody know of a source for GPS splitters or connectors? I suspect there are more than one type of connector, any idea what they...

Live in the US and can't get full functionality out of this unit since they never made map disks for the good ol' U - S of A. For what I can do with it, it works great! Trying to scrounge up enough for a full fledged COMAND 2.0 to retrofit into my W202. Make me an offer! PM or e-mail to...
