Kenwood DNX9140
I am about install above aftermarket unit instead of COMMAND and I have a few technical questions.
Due to I have fiber optic, I am going replace HK amplifier with JBL MS-08. It's first step in process and I cannot skip it.
Questions:
1. I am wondering if my rear view camera is going work with new device - I have input on new device but I was told that on new cars, camera is recognized as 'antenna' on main system.
2. I was told that I need replace AM/FM antenna due to some comparability. What's my second option ?
3. any other advice before I pull trigger
The car is 2008 ML320 CDI

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'd rather post on this than start a new one. This is also my choice on a replacement aftermarket double din head unit. Hope you won't mind follow up questions on this:
1. How is the Kenwood DNX9140 doing? Scale of 1-10?
2. Since the NAVI system loaded on it is a GARMIN, I'm wondering if you can load other maps on it like Asian and European maps just like I do on stand alone GARMIN Navigation devices through an SD Card?
3. Does it have a provision for entering data through an SD card?
4. Does it charge your iPod or iPhone while they are docked/connected?
Let us know. There might be other Benz owners who have installed the same. MANy TIA! Cheers!
