HOWTO: Install COMAND in a facelifted CLK cabriolet

Detailed below are the steps I took to install COMAND into my facelifted A208 CL!20

cabriolet"

A short note on the type of COMAND to obtain#

Always$ if at all possible %et the newest COMAND for yo&r type of'ehicle" (he installationwill be a lot easier if yo&r &nit was desi%ned foryo&r type of car" I obtained the A208 820 ))8* &nit which is the latestone a'ailable for a 208CL" (here are others"

(here is a &sef&l article on COMAND installs showin% the rele'antCOMAND part n&mbers

I &sed the pins i=d ordered and crimped and soldered pins @$8$* and 40" I then assembled

the C2connector by slidin% the one part into the other"My car had a C connector with the two CAN7 wires connected to pins 4 and 2" On my car

theseare colo&red lack and lack,9hite" C&t both these off$ notin% which one was in whichposition"

for this" I also soldered a wire to C2pin @" this is re&ired for the speed p&lse" 9itho&t ityo&r COMAND wont &pdate yo&r position asyo& dri'e" If yo& ha'e a wire in pin 4 of yo&r A

+n order to install the COMAND in other cars, you need to do the following: #

a> urchase a COMAND system that is without CAN, or one from aM' + suggest one from an M', as it tends to ha)e the latestfeatures!

b> ?se the wiring description abo)e to supply powerwa$eup to the M%fibre optic CD player if you ha)e one!

c> Ensure speed signal from car is connected to connector A pin 6 ANDto pin 9 of the C0 connector!

d> Connect re)ersing signal to connector C0 pin 67 if you can!e> Connect pin 0 from connector A to cars O%D++ diagnostic

connector pin 62 if you dont ha)e a diagnostic connector, ma$eone up it will need F on pin 69, ground on pin 8 and COMAND on pin62! Then the M% dealer will be able to configure the car if he tells

COMAND that it
