Hi All
Most know we've been working on getting an integrated DAB solution for NTG1/NTG2 COMAND systems, and thank you to the 2 forum members who have beta-tested it
Well, its now ready. Launch date is 1st October, but obviously we have some units already.
The car needs to have COMAND and no CDC as the device emulates a CD changer to display station names, station information etc, and this version works with NTG1/NTG2 systems.
Look at Comand Online Ltd :: Other Mercedes Retrofits :: Mercedes DAB retrofit kits :: in2Digi integrated DAB radio interface kit for Mercedes NTG1/NTG2 vehicles. for more info
It comes with a stick-on amplified antenna, but it can be integrated with existing merc windscreen TV antenna (for instance side windows on a W164 ML or W203 C estate, and rear in others) but that requires a MB antenna amp and a long cable, so you don't even have to have a visible antenna (although its small and reasonable looking). It has a 3.5mm AUX in also, which may be useful for connecting a MP3 player
I dont mind saying the sound quality is brilliant, and i'm sure others will back me up on that.
The product is designed and built in the UK, which is nice as of course we have direct access to the actual people who write the software if there are any issues.
The cost of the product is £499, plus fitting, although I know Comand Europe will do some vastly reduced fitting charges for the first few forum members that want it installed. I'd expect around £599 as the normal fitted charge.
The developer will be working on the version for NTG2.5/NTG3/NTG4 next, which means that you should be able to move this unit from your NTG1/NTG2 car to a newer car when you change your car. All going well, I'd expect support for NTG4.5 after that, and then other manufacturers but we're not in control of the future roadmap
Thanks
Richard
