Navigation Add On

Hello,

I am new here. We just purchased a 2004 500E with 24k miles. The vehicle is in the dealer for open recalls and service.

My wife currently has a 2001 C-320 and she loves it like it is her child.

At this time the 500E does not have navigation or parktronics.

I asked the service manager how much it would be to add the navigation kit and I am awaiting his answer.


My questions are:

Has anyone experienced adding navigation and/or parktronics to their vehicle?
If so, what had to be done? Is it a kit? Does a DVD player have to be added, etc?
What was the approximate cost?

The vehicle has the stock Bose system w/ 6 CD changer.

Thanks and I look forward to your answers.

nav can be added rather easy (without having anything stuck on your dash)...parktronic is quite a bit of work but can be added to teh car as well - several people on this forum had that done already.

Hello,

The dealer just quoted me $2500.00 to install the DVD Nav; $2000 for the kit and $500 for labor.

This sounds extremely high!

Does anyone know where I can purchase the MB DVD Nav. kit from a reputable dealer?

Thank you,

I myself offer the 211 nav drives for 1250USD (excl. a possible 150USD charge for possibly required brackets & trunkliner and excl. navigation software but including installation & versioncoding - depending on where you live).

As I will be in new jersey for 3 days to do some installs next week - you might want to email us (info@MBenzNL.com) if/when interested.
