Hi All
Can anyone tell me if i can swap my old non bluetooth Comand head unit for the latest MERCEDES ML 164 AUDIO 20 CD. NEW. PART NUMBER A 164 870 58 94 MODEL MF2840

And if i do, will the bluetooth work without buying the bluetooth bit that fits in the centre armrest where the old nokia kit goes?

My ML is a 2006 320 CDi Sport.

Yes, but you need

a) to rewire the antenna power
b) Add a bluetooth antenna
c) Link to the existing microphones
d) a way of splitting the antenna to the 2 antenna ports
e) re-wire the AUX lead or iPod lead if you have that

There is a kit to do this

Comand Online Ltd :: Mercedes SatNav/COMAND :: COMAND Retrofit parts :: W164 ML/GL & W251 R :: A/B/CLC/ML/GL/R COMAND NTG2.5 (Hard Disk) retrofit kit - cars with phone.

Any existing phone, CD changer, TV system, Harmon Kardon sound system or Rear Seat entertainment (ML/GL/R) wont work with the new NTG2.5 systems. In your case it's an Audio-20 so couldnt support TV/RSE in anycase.

Pls also note that the bluetooth bit for the existing phone system is under £200.

Comand Online Ltd :: Mercedes Phone/Bluetooth :: ViseeO MB-2 (formerly MBU2000) UHI Bluetooth for Mercedes Benz

So probably cheaper/easier just to buy that unless you have a very cheap source of the new units.
