I have a 2001 Mercedes CL500 that Is FULLY FIBER OPTIC. The button to the right of TAPE on my factory radio is blank/ not being used. Is there any way to add USB to work off that button? My CD CHANGER stopped working too, but I play all my music through USB anyway
Extremely low chances ... this comand here was the worst thing I ever worked on, and one died sporadically ... For a W163 you can get a pocket and a 1DIN Audio 10 CD There your boy darie can hook you up no problem, have like 10 on stock Or maybe an APS BT-2
Thank you for the video. In other videos you mentioned that the 5v csr8645 had significant issues with ground loops. I encountered them too and added a filter cap and isolator which worked as intended. But the module still stutteres on the differential output. Actually you can't listen anything without artifacts. The 12v module works just fine... Is it just my module or how did you solve the issue?
There are actually 2 ways you can pick up noise; the 2nd of which my past self wasn't aware of actually until relatively recently -- the bt module transmits at quite high power its acknowledgements -- and you can easily pick those up with your audio wires Using a shielded cable (or shielding your wires with some aluminium foil) goes a very long way usually In this radio, with the volume at max and music playing at O volume, there is a clearly audible ticking ... but at that volume inside the S Klasse, you'd be looking at concert levels of loudness, so, it's quite acceptable
Hi Darieee, would appreciate you assistance or anyone that has knowledge on this unit. I have a strange issue with my comand 2.5d and i would appreciate if you can advise me on how to test this unit out of the car. Specifically, which pins to connect to, to power on the unit and have the display working while its out of the car. I currently have NO backlight on my unit, i can see the warning message very dimly when it powers on. I'm not sure if its wired in properly as it is a retrofit on my w220 that didnt come with Nav.
So after screwing withit for two days and figuring out the solder points. Im disappointed in quality. I was trying to keep the original stereo and sound quality. After it playing for a little bit, feels like static builds up. I didnt disconnect the capacitors on the back board. Cutting where you marked with x x on the backboard made the sound dissapear completely, cutting at micro chip made more sense. If i send you the stereo from ebay, can you figure out how to play it from CD? Ill send BT module also. I want the same quality as if cd music is playing.
oh I remember this unit .. was an absolute nightmare to work on .. the main issue I had was not being able to test stuff properly .. I could only power the radio section, not the display : was flying blind all the way .. which, for a radio wasn't a big deal is buying a YATOUR adapter an option for this model ??
Thanks for replies. I have decided to install an android stereo 10.1inch. 89 bucks. I have another bose amp that supports subwoofer from 2001 ml320 and ill just cut everything out and JB weld it. Thanks for replies. Do you have a website? Or you just do this for fun? Cause you mentioned that it was for a client...
Hi, I purchased Xtrons TE706PL Android Head Unit. It comes with very outdated BT board "BC6 Bluetooth module on Aliexpress" I was wondering if its possible to have it replaced with CSR8675. Thank you
I don't really know about those, but in many cases, if you manage to find a blue board only module that is exactly the same shape, chances are it's pin compatible; for that you'll have to search the entire aliexpress/ebay.com sites though .. some are quite unpopular Look for (from best to weakest but still bluetooth 4.0 so good sounding): CSR64215 / CSRA64215 / CSR8645 / CSR8635 / CSR8630
not really 😂 usually I'd offer to have you ship it over, I'd do the mod, and I'd ship it back but I'm insanely full with shit right now, so, unless you're writing from a mental institution and able to pay 800€, yeah 😳
Hi Darieee, Did you use the VCC-port on the CSR8645 or the regular batt-port? In two weeks I will do the install as well on a S-Class W220. Thanks for the info so far!
I am also unaware of what a casette preamplifier is - i am new to all of this and im rather surprised i was able to get it semi-working in the first place. would the casette preamplfier cause any problem? I will try and add an additional ground for the speakers
pfff, to be honest I don't know what to say I only moded one of those radios way back in the day, the tape needed triggering every 30 minutes, I ended up not offering it again
that's exactly how it works - however .. unfortunately I no longer offer this service for the 2.5D is there perhaps any other radio I could help you with ?
hey man - if you have this particular radio - I unfortunately don't offer mods for it anymore; it's too hard to work with and too hard for me to test in-vitro on my bench since the display and radio sections are controlled separately .. I've had issues where people's display cables weren't seated properly and they had to reship me the radio .. stuff like that - a lot of issues overall
unfortunately this mod hasn't worked out too well; you need to select the tape every half hour ... I'm no longer offering mods on this model I do do other ones - do check my channel
@@Darieee I'm experiencing an issue where a tape got stuck in my deck. The unit is stuck open but will not eject tape. Any idea on how I can extract it? I'm trying to avoid having to buy a COMAND unit. But they're less the $100 nowadays. Just don't want to buy a whole new unit if I can salvage mine.
@@Darieee that's what I was thinking. Im not the best at tinkering with stuff. But there's only one way to learn and the cost of a new unit is reasonable.
dear
where i want to connect the 5v (for Bluetooth module)on main board.you only shown the right and left circuit in main board

mmmm, I'm afraid I can't in any way help you ☹️
yatour had D2B adapters a few years back ... so ... maybe look for those
Hi mate will it work if i just wire an aux cable to point 37 and 6?
I cant figure out where to connect the ground wire from the 3.5mm jack wire. When i connect the ground next to 5v supply, my stereo shuts off
any big metal part should also work fine
Can you do a tutorial for the command 2.0 in the W163?
Extremely low chances ... this comand here was the worst thing I ever worked on, and one died sporadically ...
For a W163 you can get a pocket and a 1DIN Audio 10 CD

Kurze Frage mein Lieber. Kann ich dir ein radio schicken? Würde mir sehr über Bluetooth in meinem W220 mit Command 2.5 freuen.
moin, leider baue ich dieses Model nicht mehr um .. finde es einfach zu riskant :(
@@Darieee Schade! Schade hab ein recht exklusiven W220 Brabus wünsche mit echt eine elegantere Bluetooth Lösung als ein Bluetooth FM transmitter
ja .. kann's verstehen :( tut mir wirklich Leid
Is there also an easyer way?
Bruder, baba test song. Ljubav is die Macht.

Nah, no website - I just list my stuff on ebay & ebay-kleinanzeige and find people that way

Darieee do you know if there is somewhere I can get a custom board made? I can't find anything that would fit same pin out.
I don't .. also doesn't seem worth it - you'd have to lay out a board for a 60+ pin Radio SMD chip + it's support components ...
Hi Can you put the device on this radio Mercedes w211
Is it possible to add Bluetooth to the Comand system on the face-lift W220?
pppprobably ?
Any chance you have a tutorial on how to do that? 😄
not really 😂
usually I'd offer to have you ship it over, I'd do the mod, and I'd ship it back
but I'm insanely full with shit right now, so, unless you're writing from a mental institution and able to pay 800€, yeah 😳
Is there a noise when you press the gas?
no idea .. I never drove the car this radio went into
Doesnt MB make a bluetooth adapter that goes where the 2000s phone cradle is?
they might, but it might also only support bluetooth telephony and not music
@@Darieee correct. Thanks.
Hi Darieee,
Did you use the VCC-port on the CSR8645 or the regular batt-port?
In two weeks I will do the install as well on a S-Class W220.
Thanks for the info so far!
I honestly don't remember .. this was all a very long time ago
@@Darieee Alright! Thanks for your comment. I will check it out ;).
so i just completed this. It works, but the sound quality is terrible - static and just sounds off. is there any way to fix that?
yes .. it sounds like you have a grounding issue ... do check that
@@Darieee I have the ground attached to the board. i was wondering if i needed a second ground for the L & R speakers
ground for the 5v but no ground for sound
I am also unaware of what a casette preamplifier is - i am new to all of this and im rather surprised i was able to get it semi-working in the first place. would the casette preamplfier cause any problem? I will try and add an additional ground for the speakers
pfff, to be honest I don't know what to say
I only moded one of those radios way back in the day, the tape needed triggering every 30 minutes, I ended up not offering it again
Do you provide service. If I send you my unit can you blue tooth and return it
that's exactly how it works - however ..
unfortunately I no longer offer this service for the 2.5D
is there perhaps any other radio I could help you with ?
Baust du das auch ein?
Was würde mich das kosten Wenn ich dir mein command zukommen lasse?
Diese Modell nicht - hab viele Probleme damit gehabt .. Audio 10 CD baue ich noch um, APS BT-2 auch
Wo hast du ground angeschlossen für Bluetooth?
Auch auf ground?
You do this as a business?? Can I send you my COMAND unit and you can do this service?
hey man - if you have this particular radio - I unfortunately don't offer mods for it anymore; it's too hard to work with and too hard for me to test in-vitro on my bench
since the display and radio sections are controlled separately .. I've had issues where people's display cables weren't seated properly and they had to reship me the radio .. stuff like that - a lot of issues overall
Can I pay you to add this on my unit?
unfortunately this mod hasn't worked out too well; you need to select the tape every half hour ...

I do do other ones - do check my channel

@@MisterCee41510 yeah, should be doable if you open it up
the cassette is easily accessible and I think the cover even pops off with no screws 🤘
