If you have a Comand head unit the socket of
the radio is different from the other head units.
Comand 2.0/2.5
Mercedes cars can have two different layouts of
optical network. That is why the D2B optical kit
contains two different optical harnesses (labels
on them will help). The #22 belongs to the cars
with Comand (made by Bosch) head units and
#21 to the others.(3. and 4.) Unplug the
connector of the optical harness from the head
unit and connect it to the #21/22 socket of the
optical harness of the Ice>Link Gateway 500. If
there is no factory fitted optical cable connected
to the Head Unit, you should connect the given
#23 optical loop to the spare female connector of
the #22 optical cable.
(5.) Connect the #21/22 A connector to the back
of head unit.
(6.) Plug the last flying connector of your optical
harness to the Gateway Lite D2B interface, with
this step you are connected to the D2B optical
ring.
Finally connect each cable according to the
numbers in the first picture. Lead away the cables
where the devices will be placed. (E.g the glove
compartment or the center console).
Test the Gateway Lite with your car audio, making
sure all connections are correct and that you have
full functionality.
Note: If during testing you notice any changes
or inconsistencies in the way the car’s
electrical system operates, disconnect the
Gateway product immediately and consult your
dealer.
Take care not to trap any wires and cables or the
