Thanks for the comment. Happy to help out. I'm on a bit of mission to show it's not that difficult to be a DIY'er on these cars. Cheers Scott.

Hi Scott, Thanks for showing this process, I originally got so far as removing the screws and sensed the flip screen assembly was loose, but was wary about applying too much pulling force. Your video clearly shows it requires a combined outward and upward direction pulling motion. I'll give it a go in my endeavours to gain access and solve a 'behind the dash' rattle thats been annoying me for some time. Really appreciate the trouble you have gone to to answer other peoples problems. Cheers

Thanks Scott for your amazing video, we managed to replace the screen in less than an hour! (The silver plug at back took a while to keep in place). Thanks so much for taking the time to help others.

You're doing a fantastic job, that I am sure will be much appreciated by many other merc owners. I just hope your car stands up to the repeated dismantling procedures that you must undertake to demonstrate the process, I'm sure it requires a few 'takes' to get them ready to upload.

Scott, Good info. Installing the more modern Android system may be above my "pay grade" ! Will go for the older screen replacement since I'm still firmly entrenched in the 20th century. Thanks for the feedback. Saw you were a RRacer at one point...I used to manhandle GXSR's in the day with middle of the pack results.

thank you for this videoguide. LCD fixed.. Merc sweden wanted 1700$ to fix this, ebay 80$ ;) of course the comand knob also stopped working which your other video helped with too. Again, a massive thanks!!

👍Many thanks for the quick help! I am very grateful to you. Best regards

I bought a set of those trim tools for about $7 ... very handy. I'm not familiar with the estate tailgate but I'd guess there will be a couple of torx screws inside either side of the release switch.

That is mercedes, you can solve any problem by yourself! Great video!

Thanks Rob ... I appreciate the kind words. Happy to help. Kind regards, Scott

Incidentally my HD reversing camera has now arrived and I'm currently in the process of understanding how to completely remove the trim from inside the (Estate) tail gate without damaging it. It clearly wants to stay put, so I've since bought a set of nylon trim removal levers, also from Hong Kong to help with popping out the hidden trim retaining clips.

mate... it looks like you;ve saved me a fair few quid here... many thanks!

LOL ... yes so do I. Most of the things I'm videoing are things I'm doing anyway so I think the car will survive. But I admit at times there have been a couple of "takes" to get the method across.

Hi Scott.... you seem to know a lot about Mercedes electronics among other things. I have a question that I really need answered, and I'm just no wanting to give up on this, because really think it CAN be done with the right knowledge and direction...... Here goes.... I have a 2009 C300 4matic sport with the standard radio (non Harmon Kardon) with the little "fixed" screen.... all I want to do is, get my current system to recognize the upgraded OEM flip up screen I've purchased 2nd hand. I can't get the screen to flip up and down, although I KNOW the screen motor works, so it's not a motor problem.... I had to replace the center air vent panel as well because, as you know, the two buttons that raise and lower the screen manually are integrated in to the HK airvent panel..... I also went a step further and bought a OEM HK receiver AND amplifier, thinking that maybe it's a whole integrated systems, but I really don't think I need that..... just knowing a way to get this new screen to talk to my current receiver. I have a guy who is working on this for me who owns a shop locally here in Boise.... but he simply doesn't have the time (and possibly the knowledge) to do all the research, but I think if I could give him a "way" from someone as knowledgeable as yourself, maybe he could do this. Thanks.

Good news is I've worked out how to remove the screen from the unit. It's quite easy. If you have a screen failure you'll be able to buy a new LG screen cheaply from HK and install into the Mercedes unit. I've made a short video and will be uploading soon.

I undid the 2 x external torx screws above the reg plate and released the outer trim retaining clips from the inside trim, but it still remained firmly held, so I'm assuming there are more screws to be located hidden under the tailgate trim.

welche von den 8 Pins im schwarzen Stecker treiben den Motor an? which of the 8 pins in the black connector drive the motor from the display?

This was a great video. Since my display fold up screen comes on for a few seconds than goes black, I was wondering if there is another solution other than buying a new unit? Could it be a light out or something? Thanks

Scott, Thanks for another excellent video , you have literally saved me thousands , with your scroll video and gearbox service ,and hopefully this tutorial. I have one question though , is there any way to get the cover to flip up if it now does not flip up at all , the radio does work though. I dont want to force it up, it seems quite stiff.

Scott, Hopefully you will get this. Great video BTW. My pop up monitor (same C300 as in vid) began to blink on and off with radio ON, then a small whiff of smoke out top left of screen and hot insulation smell. Screen then went black to stay but functions , radio, et. al. still work, just no screen image so Command knob useless..can still see radio station on dash small screen via steering wheel buttons. My question. I took apart the unit..can't see any obvious heat damage on circuit board so do you think the LCD screen failed or can it still be the circuit board?

My 2010 c350 that button on the cover usually when you press it the Nav open and mine don't. I have to use the volume round buttom to open the Nav screen. Any idea how to fix that. Look's to me some wire mignt be lose or broken inside

My screen just went out a few mins ago, i heard there may be a fuse in the back of our unit (same display (2008 C350) harmon kardon)

Hi Scott, can you tell me where I can get all that complete equipment? the same that you show in the video ... and how much does it cost? greetings and thanks

Hi Scott These videos are so helpful. Thanks so much. I have a 2009 C63 and the command screen constantly opens and closes all night long when I park it. I was just wondering if you had some ideas to try and fix it.

Do you need to get a new unit reprogrammed or is just plug and play? Thanks again

Hello! I came across your channel because i have been looking for some info on command monitor LCD replacement. Mine is stained and i would like to replace it. Where could i buy one? I am a new friend btw. Thanks for sharing!

Another question. I'm using a Bluetooth dongle to share music from iPhone to ntg4. He's connected in the 1.5mm jack. But the sound is lower than the radio. Do you think it's possible to increase the sound volume for the aux only by the menu ?

Great video bro! Thank you! Cheers!

Hi Scott, thanks for the vid. Looks like.it could be a massive help moving forwards. Having issues with my screen at the moment. It's flickering and flashing like something is loose somewhere. Have been told it's possibly on the way out meaning possible complete screen replacement. Is this something you've come across before. Would show video but won't allow me too. Also had a 2012 cbr600rr in the xray limited edition colours, bloody awsome.bike

Hello mate, great tutorial. got few questions. I have w204 2007reg, but it has basic stereo with aux cable. as you mentioned slots for USB and ipod. If I want to have them will it work on my basic stereo, or I have to get Sat/nax stereo system just like yours? any help would be appreciated. Is it possible to replace basic stereo system to satnav flip screen system?

Can I remove my stock radio and upgrade to this flip out ?

hi scott a quick question please where did you buy that screen from or was that originally on the Mercedes

Hey i have problem with the comand unit i have the same Like your iT doesnt power Up ? its always starts Up but now i starting the car iT doesnt power Up anymore

Hi Scott! You help me a lot with your videos and for this i want to give a big thank to you. I want to ask about my mercedes , w204 year 2007 with mavigation system but installed has the small disply, can i upgrade it with the big one , connections is plug ang play or this is not imppossible? Thanks a lot

Hi, Great videos of DIY of mercedes. I have a same model 2010 cgi c200 and my car don't have a 3.5mm jack. I checked in the glove box at passenger seat, there's a holder for it but it's not there. It is just covered with a cap, it is just a hole. Do you think I will be able to just attach a 3.5mm jack ( or female audio port ) in there as me being novice person for DIY. (i know computer harware/software only). I did had a 2008 c200 kompressor and it did had a 3.5mm female jack in glove box and now i got this cgi c200 which didn't have it. Don't understand why in 2010 they removed it.

Thankyou Nikola

I have Audio 20 the old version, not this one with lcd screen. but does this fit in my model ? If I want to change or is it a special cable harness for each of the two screens who is available?

Great video, but how do you remove the COMMAND Monitor Assembly if won't open? I've tried the fuses and trying to reset the system, but nothing is work. Thought if I could take it out, I might be able to find the problem. Thanks again.

Great video. Can the LCD screen be made to stay fixed in the open position?

Hi, I'm subscribing your channel, thank you for sharing your skills. and I have a question. Can I install the popup screen and command system into lower level benz model that doesn't have no popup screen system?

Thanks for the great videos mate. I have audio 20 on my MB and i'm now confident (thanks to your videos) that i can now install Comand on my own. This however has to be activated by a MB dealer so as to get the route displayed in the multifunction steering wheel display. Might you know any workarounds for this? How i could do it myself. Thanks

Hello Scott. Great video. I´ve changed my unit by myself cause Mercedes wanted to have approx. 300€. But, after installing the new display it functions but the backlight turns on and off. Is it possible that the new unit must be configered so that the backlight stops flashing and functions permanently?

Any chance of upgrading the whole dashboard ??

Anyway to make it so display doesn’t come up when you start car?

Hi How do you remove the SAT NAV disk and where is it located? Thanks
