Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio Replacement – Command Upgrades

Posted on February 25th, 2013 in News, Product Information, Uncategorized by :: No Comments

Upgrading or replacing a Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio has traditionally been a difficult, expensive process. Getting a replacement radio from Mercedes Benz if your Command radio died or broke was equally expensive ($5000 with a generous 90 day warranty). Fortunately Driven Audio in Abbotsford BC,  now has a solution designed to fully integrate a modern radio with iPhone, iPod, MirrorLink, USB, Bluetooth, SiriusXM and Navigation into your Mercedes-Benz dash, without the added expense of changing amplifiers and speakers! We can even add a backup camera to your Mercedes Benz.

Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio Replacement Module

Interface to replace Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio

Driven Audio is now offering the world’s first radio replacement module to work with many Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio equiped vehicles on the M.O.S.T network.

Many Mercedes radios from 2003 to 2008 vehicles,  don’t have Bluetooth or they have outdated Bluetooth that may not be compatible with today’s phones.  And when the radio breaks, the factory replacement can cost $4,000 to $5,000.

In many cases, the factory cost to replace the  radio can be between 10% to 40% of the total value of the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio Upgrade Kit

With our module, the replacement cost is drastically reduced.  The kits price plus the cost of an aftermarket radio and installation is all that is required.  And this provides the vehicle owner updated features such as App control, iPhone/Android control and updated Bluetooth, depending on the radio. The kit works with radios from Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC and others.

It works on the M.O.S.T. fiber optic system used by Mercedes-Benz Command Radio systems.  “Typically if you were to remove a factory Mercedes radio to add an aftermarket radio you would also need to replace speakers and an amplifier, creating, again, an expensive install.  The module permits users to replace the radio but retain the factory amplifier and speakers, said Derek Schmiedl, who was heavily involved in the development and quality control of the interface.

The interface accepts the analog audio outputs of  a new aftermarket radio, and converts them to an optical signal compatible with the M.O.S.T. protocols used in the audio system from Mercedes-Benz,” thus relieving the client of an expensive install replacing the amplifier, speakers, and subwoofer,” said Schmiedl.

The Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio upgrade module  is compatible with the following Mercedes Benz vehicles with a factory MOST fiber optic amplifier:

2005-2008 CLS
2003-2008 E
2004-2006 S
2004-2006 CL
2005-2008 SL
2005-2008 SLK WITH MOST FIBER OPTIC AMP ONLY

To find out about upgrading from your Mercedes-Benz COMAND Radio to a new full featured radio, please visit our facility at 2139 Clearbrook Rd in Abbotsford, BC.
