With the COMAND retrofit, you are correct. Steve MBenzNL took the faceplate off my COMAND and transfered all the buttons to another faceplate. That replacement had the top extended with a strip [plastic? foam?] on top, blended in and painted, the same size as the piece of aluminum that was cut out between the two DIN openings. Scorche I think it is, is the person who made that faceplate. He's active on MBWorld.com (and other places I'm sure). Dunno if he will help anyone doing the COMAND on their own by providing that faceplate @ a cost, but you can ask.
