Know what I like more than Aston Martins? Knowledge.
Danny Zabolotny Tav needs a set of bookshelves in that garage. For the knawwledge.
i sense.....
jealousy????
omar aman You didn't sense the joke tho
My grandma had a 2000 S500 and the Bose system was AMAZING. It beats my family's 2014 Escalade Bose, and pretty much everything else I've heard stock. Deep bass, no distortion, super high volumes, and amazing imaging. It really kicked ass for being 16 years old. Good luck with the car.
I daily a 2001 SL with that same Bose system and all of my friends always freak over the quality - those Merc Bose systems were the sh*t.
Love the vids on the Aston Martin, but the S class intrigues me even more. I love the series. Keep em coming
I enjoyed this video. Keep up the Good work. I love seeing you update older cars and I hope you continue doing it.
Nice install, hope to see more of the ultimate daily driver.
Freddy you gotta get the updated 2003 to 2006 bi xenon headlights and updated grille to transform the entire front end and also while you are at it the 2003 to 06 led tail lights
The car already has the tails, and I will be installing the new headlights.
cool AMG bumpers will also transform the cars look no AMG badges lol
APiDA Online There are some really nice aftermarket headlights on ebay. I like those that look like the w221 but they are like 500 bucks
Ирена Керанова nothing beats the original headlights those aftermarket ones look very cheap from a mile away
Man its a small world.. Sitting here enjoying you nice W220 videos and I guess Im the guy from Sweden with the speed module you mention.. Let me know if I can do ANYTHING to help out with your W220.
CKMCardesign i am looking up everything i can on the w220 i need a ton of help if you could message me somehow !
@@josesantiago5325 Send me an mail.
I still use my sat Nav in my 2004 s class you can buy the update disc from eBay really cheap. I just don't like things hanging around on the window and wires too ... Love the video can't wait to see more of the s class 👍
Excellent and humorous presentation. Thank
There is so much value in knowledge and u have proven that. Its not what you have makes you who u are but rather who you are that gives it value
That is an Albanian artist I am crying from laughter!!!!!!!
Gkiekas crazy right?? Hahaha
albanianbenz Yeeeeesss what the fuck I would never expect that!!!
Gkiekas yea the same thing me
looking if someone commented thos
hahahahahah damnnn i didnt expect that LOL
I appreciate that you can do the work yourself...how many of us cannot? Looks great and cant wait to see what else you have in store!
That turned out great and it looks great to. Nice up grade!!
Great upgrade. Nero's My Eyes - what a great tune!
Thanks for sharing that build and great work!
Very informative. Ive just bought another w220 & have ideas for upgrades. Great reliable comfortable cars are so little money. Your an ideal presenter. Subscribed now 👍
Holy crap, never thought about tape to bluetooth solution. Dude, you're clever! Subscription earned
Thanks for this video man process went smooth !!!
Your videos are some of the best DIY's on youtube. I am a W210 driver, and I really won some insights on your retrofit. You should probably add things like "W220", "Comand" "Mopf" and stuff like that in the description for people to find it better. I would be also interested in a video on how you solder in the auxiliary jack.
Greetings from Germany, fellow Benz-Connaisseur!
Nice looks so much better than before
If you do the AMG body kit, plz don't use the AMG badges!
uncreativename why not? It would be the same as the amg sport pkg bc he has the exhaust and the body kit, he has the right to badge.
Medo Gabr the only hing that matters is engine.
What do you mean why not. Are you dumb. It's not a AMG S class.
Mercedes has watered down the AMG brand with bullshit like AMG packages
Best video Ive ever seen. Very Detailed
T, put a pool noodle (long pool float that feels like rubberized foam) between the Merc and the Aston. You can suspend it from the ceiling with fishing line. That will save you from any door dings.
GREAT INFO! Thanks for the great demo!
Very cool man! Looks great!
i watch you videos all the time love your job.
Looks 1000 tons better now!
you should do a nice silver or brushed aluminum for the wood grain areas. I think that would look really cool.
Not in an S Class bro
LodgedAbyss dare to be different
shamwow47PSN I have an 03 sl55. Came with a cheap carbon fiber vinyl sticker over the wood. Just yesterday I was thinking about doing that
shamwow47PSN brushed aluminium 🤫. Nice idea. I have the light colour wood & don’t like it. So that’s a great modern upgrade. Thanks 👍
Kudos mate! Great job
That looks great!
Watching this video makes me want to add bluetooth/aux port in my 07 Mazdaspeed6. Using only the radio and CDs is getting old. Thanks man! Love your videos! I wish you still had your 3000gt lol. Keep up the good work!
darren monteith really there's no aux in a 07 speed 6? that sucks. nice car anyways. if you're into diy there's a good selection of guides and what not. forum.mazda6club.com/mazdaspeed6/225354-how-3-5mm-stereo-bose-system.html#/topics/225354?_k=eh8tm5
darren monteith Just get a highly rated FM transmitter off Amazon
Use AuxMod, i'm pretty sure your radio should have a connection for it. It can then be connected to bluetooth or what you want.
more benz videos please!!!!!!!!
PLEASE
hahahaha that cd had Albanian songs (I'm Albanian) :D
The wood doesn't match. That really, REALLY bothers me lol
Same
Great Vid!! I wish I had seen this prior to 2 weeks ago. I have the same car, I bought a Jensen receiver, steering wheel adapter, and rear view camera; I spent over $500 for installation and parts.....I still need to purchase a 5 channel amp because of lost sound!
Dexter
How and where did you get it done at
Love how you kept the stock look. Dont know about cost, but replacing the wood grain with brushed aluminum or metal would look pretty nice in my opinion.
You can use shelf liners to do the wood trim, so many options of wood styles, brushed aluminum, carbon fiber, or even zebra style if you want.
Maher
DUDE you can wire 3.5 jack from the TV module on the back ( left side of trunk) wire it in the the back seats to the front use the TV button and you will have the best quality sound that is the way i did i can send you pictures if you want...
K sure. sent it to my email. asktavarish@gmail.com.
Sent!!! if you have any questions email me back or any tips on the w220 or even parts i work on them...
Could I ask for it too?
K that's so cool can use post it to ur channel the pics
Hi KA PLEASE Can i have it too?
There are still new navigation CDs for those old COMAND systems. I use a 2015/2016 Mercedes-DVD in my 2005 W211 COMAND NTG1.
please complete this project. I have same year vehicle and the dated dash/radio is the only thing that sucks in the car. Also, since you now have three difference woods in the dash, you said you had an idea to fix that. Looking forward to hearing your idea for this ultimate everyday driver!!!
Dude that thing NEEDS some AMG wheels...
I second this! AMG wheels are classy and fitting. Nothing is more gaudy than an old luxury car with huge/blingy/non-matching aftermarket wheels.
You are totally correct, after putting the AMG 19 inch Staggered made the car alot sporty. Also very grand and classy at the same time. The factory 17 inch makes it look like a Grandpa Car.
good video man, thanks for sharing.
I'm so stoked you are doing these videos on your 2000 MB S500. I also owned 2003 S500 Designo, only drawback is that Airmatic Suspension System. Other than it's a great car. A friend of mine also own 2001 S500 AMG Sport with almost 200k miles, the car runs great.
You should probably redo the wood trim Piano Black like the Range Rover Supercharged. Bring a different look to your car. Then add some classic AMG rims to the car. That would make it pop.
Keep up the good work. I love your videos. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Nice up grade!
Nice! Looks great. Another Nero fan... I knew there had to be at least ONE more out there.....
Holy mismatched wood batman.....
I saw a guys car that had his trim hydro-dipped. He did a matte finish wood. It looked awesome cause it had a lot of wood grain detail. It looked legit.
Great video!!! You should update the navigation system and change to "AMG" Kit ,Badges , and Wheels!!! Also a cherry wood dash would be great.
You're awesome, man... liked and subscribed...
I was afraid you were going to install those horrible aftermarket radios. it's good you went with MB parts.
I love the original radio in these s classes
That dashboard looks so much better now. But please, do something with those headlights! I think you should get a pair of the clear ones, the ones from the newer models. Anyway, love this videos Freddy!
I did the same on my daily driver, a 2001 S320 CDI W220. I bought most of the things in a junkyard. The comand plus the wood trims cost me 100€, and I bought via ebay the bluetooth adapter
+Tavarish it's an Albanian traditional music singer
One thing that you should probably consider is that MB uses the GPS to determine the correct time and date. I don't know for sure if you can set the time and date manually, but it's something that might be annoying. Someone I know has a 2000 MB S500 aswell (fantastic car by the way) so that's how I know this.
Great video by the way.
dont forget us when you have 1M subs
I can watch W220 videos all day
You must must must match the wood bro. However thanks for this I have the 2001 s430 and definitely going to do this upgrade now.
Btc 450, I love that thing.
great video
I kinda want one of these now for a Daily Driver.
Hey. You can easily remove that protective scratched stuff from the screen. Anything with Ammonia like windex will do it. Just takes some time. And of course, this is the same reason not to use anything with Ammonia for normal use around the car!
You should connect the tv input, it's more than likely RCA, so with a hdmi to rca adapter you could pipe your phone in pretty easily. Chromecast or screencast would even be doable.
My 2004 9-3 has a similar MOST based system, it's such a pain if I ever wanted to go aftermarket. So I just retrofitted the colour screen and TEL 2 system, and because MOST is setup in a loop if there is anything not connected right the whole thing won't work. Never bothered retrofitting NAV because like the Merc its out of date plus there is no maps for Australia.
me kenget e zemres means with songs of the heart
Wow ,u are very knowledgeable...
The nav can be update, my 2007 w211 have the same system. You can download the new maps Wright them on a cd an you are ready.
All this work, and still not as good as one of the newer aftermarket systems, which when installed properly, can look and behave very OEM.
That Dani CD was Albanian.
Also I have a bluetooth cassette in my car. It fits flush into the tape deck and has no wires
Nice job well done. Shame about the wood but like you said, that can be sorted. Are you going to get it dipped?
Hi Tavaris, I see this is over 4 years old but still useful. The link to the pinout diagram seems to be broken or lost. Can you provide the updated link to the wiring diagram/pinout so I can follow in your footsteps with the upgrade of my 2001 D2B Comand unit to a 2003 Comand 2.0 unit, please. thanks
You should do the wood grain in a matt or satin finish.
sound man channel does a good upgrade on a 98 SL drop top. he takes over existing bose controls with a wet audio blue tooth brodcaster thingy.
Dani is an Albanian Singer Im albanian too Hi from Kosovo Southeastern Europe Love your vids keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻 keep the CD tho hes a great singer 👌🏻
kushtrim uka ca bone vlla edhe un shqipe nga durrsi sh krenar per ket cd e danit mbohet qefi qe edhe ti shef dhe pelqen videot e makinave my insta @albaniancars_makinatshqiptare
🇦🇱💪🏽💪🏽🇦🇱
very helpful
Nice job. Where did you go to research all of the pin-out/wire color info?
You should paint the trims silver/grey/brushed aluminium. It will make the interior look modern and sporty.
Dont forget the gearshift if you are gonna change all the "wood" details👍
Did you ever notice if the aftermarket sound system draws power when the car is turned off? I think the system I installed in my SL65 is drawing current and preventing the car from going into sleep mode.
Nice. I wonder if you can flash the system to modify the OS for some added functionality? Could at least add some wallpapers to make it look a bit less bland even if you don't plan to use the GPS.
Nice man
Amazing bRo ..... ItZ suPeRb
You should retrofit distronic into that car!!! That would be sick!
Thank you very much :)
I followed your video and guide and it worked perfectly. But i wanna know is how you got the steering wheel to work with the radio.
Nice upgrade. Could you have fit an aftermarket 2-din touchscreen unit onto the S500 or was this 2003 headunit the only option you had?
How did you change the interior from beige to black?? Do you have a video on that? Your install looks great! Love it
Ford Taurus look... Well you certainly don't want that! Hahahaha!
Wish you would post a parts list with part numbers and contact info for suppliers. For example, how to buy blue tooth parts?
mars voltaaaaaa!!!!!!! i like you even more now!!!
Get the navigation. Your almost complete. Plus why use a small screen when you got a bigger one you can use for the navigation. Keep up the good work
Hahaha you stumbled upon an Albanian CD hahaha jesus go figure last thing I expected to find in your channel!!! Amazing work as always btw and congrats on Aston Martin!! Planning on keeping or flipping it like other deals you have done?
Hi Tavarish, nice video. Is there a specific place where you find your parts? I have a 2005 mb S430 project car that needs a lot of work... do you have any guidance or suggestions?
The mismatched wood is driving me crazy!!!
You should send the wood grain on the shift knob out as well
Would you recommend any digital lcd’s for a 90’s model?
I need the wireless Bluetooth part you installed.
Cool! Cassette deck!
Hey tavarish could you please help me out? I am wondering if i do not want to use the bluetooth function, can I just wire in a direct aux to the c2 connector and not use the ground loop isolator? I heard that you lose some audio quality with that isolator and I would rather not use it, but I also dont want a ton of hissing. I figured if I dont use the bluetooth adapter I shouldnt get a ton of buzzing noise. So the question is if I just wire it direct with aux will i get a ton of buzzing?
Will the auxiliary connection you mention support a back up camera on the unit you installed?
Do you have a video on how to wire up the bluetooth adapter on the old command?
