Hi

I have a 2003 ML270, Ive a Comand unit, Im wondering if these cables are for a phone unit? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9cLw3oM8105T09SSU4zazhOYzg - if not what are they?

Thanks

I have a 2004 ML with COMAND, so will take a look in mine. However I don't have permission to view the pic?

Ive done a lot and lot of searching tonight and it looks like al ML's have this section of the loom. But not between the seat and Comand nor from this loom to the phone holder. What I find so odd about Mercedes is that they have spent on part of the loom and they have invested in and provided the Comand with phone features ready, yet the bits they leave off probably save them pennies in the grand scheme of bulk buying and mass production of cars. It makes you question the thinking and what other corners they may have cut that save no more than 50p. I cant imagine they sold many of the overpriced retro kits and I'd be surprised if future sales was their intention?

But save 50p multiple times on one model of car, and sell a million of them, and it starts to add up.
