wah can AUTOFOLD for w211 one ah!

Haha......I'm trying to make one...

hi bro, can pm me the damage as well for a w204. thanks

Sorry to make you feel uncomfortable while I'll consider to change my business model so it's a bit embarrassing/sensitive at this moment to advise which workshop will take care of the installation. As matter of facts, I have done a lots of retrofit for the bros here with such arrangement and no one voice any bad comments here. Thus, believe what I tried tell to is to advise the workshop after the order has been confirmed by having deposit instead of not telling you the workshop. Hopefully I can have your kind understanding that No matter how I'm not trying to do anything dishonest. Cheers, Ricky

Hi can pm me the price for W204 :becky: thank you

For that you have to check with CnC leh...lol! :becky:

Hi, can quote me the demage for w204? Tq

Yea I dont think I know of anyone who has done comand installation with this guy b4. E-mail up and down a few times but always have questions unanswered or cannot this and that always got extra costs here and there built in. Very fustrating to be honest. Also ricky are the units brand new or refurbished ? Can any bros here voice up if you have done comand installation with ricky here maybe help put this matter to rest once and for all. Ricky to be truthful most guys here will want C.O.D (Cash on delivery) as the amt we are dealing with is not small so we will tend to be more cautious esp if you done have a local workshop we can go to incase any issues arise.

Bros rssid, I have found the communication with you as far as the Comand retrofit concerned while truly I could not meet your requirement as you wanted to watch an installation with other buyer before you decided to retrofit. Another issue was the price you're asking for also I could not comply with. Thus, what I can do is offering the Comand Retrofit with a more reasonable price (20% to 30% lower than other installer in this forum) with additional items like VIM or Backup Camera for fee. I'm terribly I could not help for the retrofit of your ride. However, appreciate very much for your kind advice. Cheers, Ricky

Ricky, why not come to our this month gtg 31 July at kallang? Is good to show face so that the forumers here can get to know you & yr products better.

Bros, let's lighten up a little & give Ricky a chance to set up a legit business that may benefit this merc community. I have not met Rick but he did PM me his offer to fix my command though a little late as I already had mine done. I must admit that his offer was attractive. The way I see it, his asking for a deposit can be explained by the fact that he is based in HK. For him to fly all the way here & risk being played out if the buyer changed his mind is a big loss, hence a small deposit to show good faith & sincerity is necessary to him. If bros here are not comfortable with this arrangement, well... there's camber53. Frankly, there's no need for a workshop to fix this command. Camber did it in my home in 2 hrs. His boot is the workshop. Changi or anywhere doesn't really matter. Just my 2 cents.

Bro, thank you!

Yes, I based at Hong Kong but almost visit Singapore on monthly basis for the retrofit business.

Nevethless, as this brother said that suggest approaching local installer if you feel uncomfortable with my arrangement for a small deposit at SG$500.

Thus, the difference you have to pay about $1.2K-1.8K if you choose local installer while actually you're buying the same thing. So far I have got one case reported that there is problem with the DVD drive and we have arranged parts for replacement and just waiting for customer's car return for swapping the parts.

Promotional Prices will be posted very soonest at the front page of the thread, surely LOWEST at Singapore! Hopefully bros here can enjoy the features of the Comand at a cheap price!

Cheers, Ricky

Hi All Bros. I got my Comand APS through Ricky and here is my Field Report! I got my E-calss coupe in May this year and I contacted Ricky through this forum shortly after I got my ride. We made an appointment to meet at the hotel he was staying in when he came to Singapore about 1 week after our initial contact. I paid him a deposit of S$500.00 with his promise to come back around early June to do the installation. Early in June he sms me to say he was coming and whether I could meet him at Changi Airport for the instal. I guess he was only transit through Singapore so he did not have a hotel. Anyway, he fitted the Comand APS quite professionally. It was a bit painful to see him removing all the components from my brand new ride, but, he did it professionally and I learnt he actually worked in a Mercedes Benz dealership in Canada which is where he picked up his skills. After the instal was complete, we took the new system for a test drive and had some problems with the navigation. After some trouble shooting, he found that is was a fualty VIM (Video in Motion), which allows watching DVDs even while the car is moving. He replaced the VIM and eveything worked fine. Total time for instal and troubleshooting: 2.5 hours. Now, over 1.5 months later, I LOVE it!:becky: Unfortunately, through no fault of Ricky's, one of my DVD's is stuck in the player. I have contacted Ricky and he has promised to replace the Changer mechanism when he is next in Singapore. I truly appreciate Ricky's help as I do not entirely believe it is his fault or the changers fault as the disc I used had been known to give problems even in my house DVD player as well! I think it was too thick or something like that. Anyway, this is my experience using Ricky's services. My son loves the dvd and he is always asking me to play his favorite Thomas and Friends disc! The other disc slots from 2 - 6 work perfectly fine). The navigation is really something else! Having used other systems in the past from my previous Nissan ride, I am amazed that the MB system can continue to navigate even in the KPE or CTE tunnels as well as in underground carparks! I really do not understand how it does it!:shocked: Hope the bros here find this report useful! :becky:
