Possible navigation upgrade for 2003 s55

What is involved in upgrading the navigation system on a 2003 s class to a MOST system from a 2004+ s class?

What are the risks? How much will it cost? How much could I sell my current nav unit for on ebay? How much rewiring is involved? What are the specific differences in functionality between the two models? Can the earlier one be unlocked to play dvds as the later one can in this youtube video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbthWTy-DFU&NR=1

Thanks again, sorry for the other confusing post.

The MOST COMAND is much improved -- DVD nav, better interface, faster nav, DVD audio. A US COMAND will not be able to be converted to display DVD video. You need a Euro-COMAND for that.
