Ok I have installed a comand unit it is the right one for my ML A163 part number. I used a loom adaptor. What I cant figure out is if I need the speed signal to the C connector and if I do where do I get it from. Also I am having problems finding any satellites using an aftermarket aeriel. Any help from someone who knows would be greatly appreciated.

Your a member of the forum and they are nice people, only one way to find if they will or not.
I hope you get your Comand sorted soon.
Oakley, i'm from comand europe - on a ML, assuming you have a W163 unit, which you say you have, then speed signal is on the A connector (pin 1 from memory), so you don't need to connect it. If you are using a W208 unit in a ML, then the 208 unit is expecting it on the C2 connector, so then you'd need to link it.
Buy a clarion aerial with the HRS (grey) connector - they are pretty good.
It takes a good few minutes to find satellites after a power on - you may not have given it enough time.

Thanks for your help. All wired up but now have a weird problem. My comand goes into night mode when the lights are turned on with the ignition key in position 1 and 2 but goes back into day mode when key turned to 3 ( engine running) seems to be working backwards ?
Have you tried it at night. I suspect once engine running it is using the light sensor to determine day/night *or* the coding is wrong and it doesnt realise its in a W163 ?
