Hello Scott, thank you so much Sir for the time you put into your W204 LCD videos. I watched each several times, made the coat hanger tools and disassembled my entire C63AMG entertainment console in minutes. My display couldn't handle the Florida sun. I was hoping that it was just the elastomer on the LCD delaminating from the heat. I tore it apart and reseated the LCD, but still have the same messed up picture. Presently enjoying the hunt for a replacement display. My dealer wanted to replace the entire assembly for US $2,200 including 3, Three, yes 1, 2 , 3 hours labor for what you do in a 9 minute video. I really feel for the people who actually pay for that service. Again, Thank You......

+Rick Nelson Rick that's great news. I also feel sorry for the people who hand over large wads of cash to dealers. However they must not be thinking too deeply about what's going on. If you get a chance have a look at the new introduction video I made where i try to explain the tax effectiveness of doing these thing yourself. There's some good on board video footage to. It's about credibility as i do a few motorcycle videos and at least the viewers can see I know how to ride. When I explain how to set up front suspension it may give them some confidence the information will be ok. Send the link around if you think it's worthy. Regards, scott

Hi Scott. Camera is now in and working! So happy. I piggy-backed off the cig lighter via block connector. As a wireless system I cannot tell, picture is flawless. Turned out to be more work than first thought because of needing power both sides but im happy. And, of course, many thanks for your help! Couldnt have done it on my own. Look forward to your next mod ! :)

Thanks Scott. I removed the glove box. Easy access to ciggerette lighter. Pink cable (switched 12v so I believe) and brown (ground i believe). I dont think splicing them up will cause canbus errors so I am going to do that. HU is currently out and ive plugged and routed the cable through to the glove box area. Nearly there!

Thank you for your great videos! liked them and subscribed. It seems the W204 COMAND System is not available in RSA. Any advice getting hold of one? I have a 2009 C350. Thank you so much Scott!

Hello my friend , I am Brazilian and I liked much of his video , I'm sorry writing, u have some information about the description of this retractable display, do not think it anywhere?

ill give that a go thanks. it seems to be a loose connection because sometimes it all works fine and other times it doesnt link to the speedo cluster. ill let you know how I get on.

There is a aftermarket big screen stereo gps for the unit

Is there a way to disable the automatic flip-up/down of the screen when you turn on/off the ignition?

EXCELLENT video!! Thank you Scott !!!!!!!!!!

Update: New screen is in and looking beautiful! Line gone and very clear as its a new screen unlike old one which was cleaned with chemicals and blurry in comparison. I did have some issues with the ribbon connection on the screen but resolved after a while. Just need to make sure contact is fully made and put the connection block on top of it to hold it in place. Be very careful an slow with the ribbon as its fragile to say the least. Wouldnt have been able to do it without Scott. Thanks!!!!

Well that's great news. As I said us Mercedes driving sports motorcyclists have to look after each other! I've have to the brake fluid flush and bleed shortly on the W204 C320CDI so that was going to be the next epic video.

You've got me beaten on that one. I haven't heard of that issue. Do you think it may be something to do with the new LCD screen? I'm assuming the camera and LCD are all working as they should? You could try the old trick of disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes.

Still waiting for LCD screen to arrive - any day now. Can imagine it will be a breeze to install thanks to you. Rear camera - I had a look behind the head unit for where I can connect positive and negative to but couldnt work it out. The back was easy because of your great how-to but front I am not sure where to tap into.

Says on a forum that the light in the glove box is switched so that may also be an option. Found that interesting as its easier to get to but not sure of its validity.

LCD screen will be arriving soon so that will be easy to replace thanks to you! camera - could not work out where to tap into for 12v switched power and ground. Had a look bhind the HU the other day but couldnt work it out. Dont want to splice into something I am not sure about. Would appreciate any help! Thanks!!!

That's good news. Glad I could help out. I assume it was the LG screen you bought and it plugged straight in?

Thanks nuddaaa ... I appreciate your comment. Hopefully you'll save a heap of money if your screen fails.

Great tutorial. Do you think it's possible to swap the lcd assembly to a touch screen one? It may not be possible though since there's no USB input in the rear. Unless the USB media interface cable can be used for this? What are your thoughts?

@ScottElliott152

Thanks Jim ... I think to convert to a touch screen would be a very complex project and require different software. Maybe some others with more knowledge on the subject could chime in. No usb input as you say. There's a product called Kivic One that mirrors your iPad onto the MB display so that's an option. Maybe MB have avoided the touchscreen from a safety point of view. It's easier to control things from the console knob while driving than fiddling with a touchscreen. Kind regards, Scott

Hi Mr Scott. I installed the camera and changed screen and now my command stuff sometimes shows in Speedo cluster sometimes doesn't. I have checked for loose cables but can't see something. Do you know what it may be? Thanks for this!

I can see all the comments at my end. The comments are publicly visible according to the settings. The glove box light is switched to the key on and ignition position so that's an option. I've used that light in my W639 Vito for a switched power supply. I to would stay away from the wiring behind the HU. I checked every wire there with my multimeter. The COMAND is switched by a control module so you don't want to risk damaging that. Stick with the cigar lighter socket or glove box light.

Thanks for the great videos. I may give the reversing camera a go at some point. I was just wondering whether you have had any cause to remove the long mesh inserts on top of the dashboard. One of them has a rattle in my car that I want to try and sort out but I am not sure how to remove them. Thanks also for the link for glove box removal - I need to take mine out to sort another rattle that drives me mad.

Thanks for your kind words. I have removed the rear mesh grilles but not the front. I'd be confident the front grilles clip into place. Use a plastic trim tool or a knife with some heat shrink tubing on it to gently prise upwards and see if it comes out. The trim tool kit is a really handy thing to have. You can get them off eBay out of HK for less than $10. Kind regards Scott.

MrScott52 Thanks Scott. I have since read on a forum that you need to first remove the trim from the A pillar. This allows the mesh grills on the dash to move sideways (towards the doors) - I guess they must use clips that slot in from the side, not up / down. I am going to go ahead and buy a set of trim tools as you suggest as I will need them to remove the trim on the A pillar. Something like this: goo.gl/yfihVj Also just watched your ATF video. Great stuff!

I do have a central lock module problem I guess for the same car, as the key keep forgetting the program and it doesn't work from far, and I did check the key with the professional guy, and he said its fine and the problem could be from the door module, so I was wondering if you have faced same problem or any videos about it Thanks for the help you providing on your channel

Hi Koulis, It sounds like the problem is with the circuit board. You would not be able to purchase a new one from Mercedes as they only sell complete assemblies. first thing would be to take the car to an independent workshop with the STAR system who can plug it in and read the fault codes and do the tests available in the STAR system. You may be able to reset the control unit. Then I think you have two options ... try to get the board repaired by an electronic technician as it may be a simple component that needs replacing or buy a used monitor/display assembly from a breaking yard on eBay or online. I can't think of any other solutions. Someone else reading this may have some ideas. Good luck and I hope you can get it repaired without too much expense. kind regards, Scott

You can buy replacement LCD screens like this: www.aliexpress.com/item/32724544421.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4c2f4f22aefXp2&algo_pvid=e4eadb70-1d35-416c-8ab5-d9f0cc6db607&algo_expid=e4eadb70-1d35-416c-8ab5-d9f0cc6db607-0&btsid=0ab6f81615973080996246963e2827&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ It will cost a lot of money for labour to have it replaced and I doubt the Mercedes dealer would do it as they will only change out full assembly's. It's not sensible to spend a fortune on what is old outdated technology. If it was me I'd replace the whole unit with a plug and play modern Android unit like this: www.aliexpress.com/item/32980912211.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.514f67eaW4DTHa&algo_pvid=d5a1310d-bf40-40f5-8fb1-d5714ac7a425&algo_expid=d5a1310d-bf40-40f5-8fb1-d5714ac7a425-18&btsid=0ab6fb8815973083285615070efbcc&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

@@ScottElliott152 Thanks for your prompt response! I was afraid of commenting on an old video at first. That would be replacing the screen following your DIY video hey? I see from your location is in Australia. I am myself is located in Perth, WA. Do you know if there is any shop that could do the fitment? TIA

@@ailhamtiara Yes it would be. Just google "car stereo perth" and you'll find an audio installer who should be able to remove the old unit and install an android plug and play system. Don't bother replacing the screen as it will cost you more than a new unit. Remember you pay around $150 to $180 per hour for labour these days and it doesn't take long to accrue several hours. Also you end up paying for the time they need to learn what to do on an unfamiliar car. You might have to get them to watch the video if they're not familiar with the W204 Mercedes.

i have a such an annoying issue with my car Mercedes c200 2010. in cold temps the screen goes white. drive it for a bit it starts flickering. vertical coloured lines come on screen and then eventually flicks and becomes normal. it has just hit summer now and yesterday same thing happened. screen never came back on. today went to my car. still the same issue and will not fix itself. ive always had the issue in winter but now its happen in hot weather and the screen completely wont fix.....i spoke to Mercedes and they said 500$ for them to look at the car and they said they have only had problems with flickering and never seen my problem. i checked merc forms and so many people talk about the same problem and have replaced the screen but its still having issues.........so not sure if i should take everything out and buy a screen or give it to merc so they can see if they can fix it.....theres literally been no solution and i dont know what to do......

Hello, Scott. I'm having a problem with my display: it's black. It folds up and down, the music/radio whatever works fine, but the display won't lit on. Previously, the display would turn off and on randomly for few seconds, but this time it won't turn on anymore. Any ideas on what could be the cause? Thanks.

Horatiu. It may be the LCD screen has failed. You can buy a new or used LG screen on eBay reasonably cheaply. www.ebay.com.au/itm/USED-Mercedes-Benz-NTG4-W204-C300-C350-C63-GLK350-Navigation-Comand-LCD-Screen-/271755111880?hash=item3f45ddedc8 Also read the comments on this video as there maybe other reasons.

I don't show the whole process but you should be able to work it out as it's straight forward. The LCD unplugs from the printed circuit board. Regards, Scott

​@@ScottElliott152 Bought it for 7k with 90k miles back in 2016. Great "deal" at the time, and I gave it no thought why these German cars depreciate so quickly. Over the next 3 years, I sunk in another 3k to fix/replace the intake manifold, power steering fluid reservoir, lights, parasitic battery drain, an unfixable oil leak, etc. Yet I couldn't give the car up because the ride was simply too enjoyable. Great comfort in the seats (I have lower back issues so this was amazing), a dead quiet ride even on the highway, and handled like a dream. Once the display went out, I cut my losses. Leasing a Mercedes is really the only realistic option these days.

If you mean the Harman Kardon sound system that's the factory fitted multi media. It's now very out of date and difficult to retro fit. I'd buy the Chinese Android 10.25" screen head unit you see on eBay or AliExpress. Very affordable and they get good reviews. Do some searching for the w204 Mercedes.

Hi Scott, You make hard work of that when all you need to do is pull Fuse 11 out of the fuse box when it is in the service position as you call it, You don't even need to remove the housing from the dash it take about 3 mins to do it that way then repair the screen refit and replace the fuse. Don't forget Fuse 11 it is next to the green relay under the bonnet drivers side fuse box. We offer a repair service and we also supply LCD's for self fit please see: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-W204-C-CLASS-SAT-NAV-LCD-SCREEN-REPAIR-SERVICE-A2048204197-A2C53282736-/310807755395?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

You've got me beaten on that one. I haven't heard of that issue. Do you think it may be something to do with the new LCD screen? I'm assuming the camera and LCD are all working as they should? You could try the old trick of disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes.
