NTG2.5 Retrofit for R230

[mbnerd]

Have seen quite a few posts about this topic for various models other than mine and I have a couple of basic questions:

1. Where do you get hold of the unit?
2. How much do they cost?

Hi

This is a very significant retrofit. I have done it (alongside adding DAB, TV, Comfort Phone, Harmon Kardon, Media Interface) to my 04 car.

a) The units are very hard to get, except new from MB
b) If the car has BOSE it has to be replaced by HK - amplifiers, speakers etc
c) If the car has COMAND 2.0, then you need a new cluster and a new dashboard trim and upholder
d) New plastic mounting work for the COMAND needed
e) If you want to keep TV or add DAB using inbuilt aerials, then need to take the dashboard out to replace the antenna amplifiers
f) MI means a new lower glovebox section $$$
g) A load of trim stuff also.

etc etc etc

Nice as it would be I think the outlay would be too much but really appreciate the details. May consider the DAB and Bluetooth adapter options though.

Thanks
