Ive recently bought a 2004 E320 cdi saloon.

Its currenty got the following in terms of electronics:

APS50 navigation
6 CD changer
Harman Kardon


Ive just bought a Comand and DVD drive for it.

I know the retro fit is a lot simpler due to the car having HK audio. It also has the correct boot lining.

Can anyone who has done this let me know what needs to be done.

Ill follow up with a HOW TO, like my Audio20 to APS50 one.

Thanks

I understand you are also changing the Audio 50APS head unit to a Comand. I believe the main difference is that the Audio 50 APS has the GPS coax connector while you would connect this cable to the new navigation DVD drive at the trunk with Comand. There should be a connector at the trunk where the guide instructs to use a splitter. Euro cars without Tele-Aid do not need the splitter.
 
Thanks, thats exactly the info I needed!
 
Did the 6 cd changer under the radio still work with the comand ntg1?
