No, it’s a lot more than that. As I understand it, Comand units create much more heat so need specific cooling fans and ducting and the whole process, while, doable, is complex. Speak to the guys at https://www.commandonline.co.uk/ for more info. @Alfie

On a W208 it is pretty much plug and play although you will need to find the speed pulse and wire that into a loom adaptor. Plus a GPS antenna.

We have the loom adapters and also a genuine W208 comand unit that came out of a channel islands car that had only covered 17,000 miles.

Email your full vin number to sales@comandonline.co.uk and we can quote you.

The fibre ring should be properly coded on the comand and also the instrument cluster will need coding to display the navigation instructions.
