Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX

I was thinking of replacing the current head with a Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX.
Crutchfield said they didn't recommend the unit for 230 Mercedes because they don't have the adapter or instillation kit.
The earlier pioneer is available for $800 instead of the current model for $1200. The current model came out in February Any advice?
The pioneer unit can handle a second video input (the first would be a backup camera). Was thinking about locating a

Night vision
night vision camera in the front of the car behind the grill.
It looks like the camera could fit behind the star, but I'd need to cut a hole in the mesh behind the star. The grills don't seem expensive, but is it important that I leave the original grill intact?
It would be nice to feed the night vision and navigation maps into a heads up display. Has anyone done this?
For a heads up display I was thinking of a Kiric, (Navdy went out of business).
