First thing would be to pull the exsisting radio to see just what is in the back of it. | ||

richarda Member Date registered: Mar 2007 Location: Vehicle(s): Posts: 16 | RE: Retrofitting a COMAND Hi The COMAND wiring is different to the standard Audio wiring. The 'C' plug is replaced by C1 and C2 (much smaller plugs) Theres an adapter available from www.comandonline.co.uk to make your life easy now The problem on older ML is finding the speed signal - also, always use a COMAND with part number A163 820 xx xx - you need the A163 part, as its for the ML and it works with non interior-canbus cars like the ML ps, the instructions you quote above are from my retrofit document at www.mercupgrades.com - but those are not the ML instructions, so don't use them! Start with the ML instructions and work with them instead. Cheers Richard Edited by richarda 12/10/2007 4:01 PM | ||

Check out wolfgang's site for some extra material...... I suggest using my DIY as it will make the mod a no-brainer. http://www.whnet.com/4x4/radios.html PS: I have also done the TV-Tuner, VES (Video Entertainment System), and Sony PS2 Playstation retrofit. Here is the DIY for the Comand Retrofit to any ML http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=262&posts=17&start=1
Just follow my retrofit in the DIY after doing the speed signal retrofit instructions from wolfgang's website.
