My Previousl CLK sport had no command but had the merc ipod kit installed so I did think i would have been a problem with the SLK.

Obviously I was so wrong
Well, I'm starting to get worried now... I have a C200K in London, and am in the process of getting an SLK for my time stateside (don't even start - pounds to dollars, I can get a 350 stateside for the same price in $ as I spend in pounds in London - and don't get me started on petrol and road tax)....

Point though is that I have a Gateway 500 in my non-comand C with a A10 head, and it works great. I was going to go the same route with the SLK, but now I'm second guessing my decision given that with the comand I'll have AUX input.

Has anyone successfully installed a v3 Gateway in an SLK? I know for the C we used MB phone install details to work out the proper placement in the fiber ring - I'd assume the same documents exist for a SLK?
