I've been reading a lot lately and it doesn't seem anyone really specializes in MB in the Florida area <besides the rip-off-er-ship). The dealers I am not even sure I would want adding options to my car. I'm in Sarasota and drove 2 hours up to Gainesville because the MB dealer told me they could integrate SIRIUS and after HOURS they called back to say they couldn't do it ... I emailed one of the MB geniuses in Houston and he said he would fly in to integrate my SIRIUS and give me power fold mirrors but i'm not really wanting to pay for the expenses to fly in .. Maybe if enough people were interested he could justify the trip?

Seems to me like all the MB geniuses are in California... Road trip maybe?

Good luck!

Here is a link to the guy in Houston who from what I read could do it with 1 hand tied behind his back. Also it will give you ideas of the cost. You should pay him to do your COMAND, that way I can get him to do my stuff while he's in Florida..

I'll agree with you about DUVAL, great dealership inless you drove 2 hours and realize you received a typical service writer answer "Oh yeah we can put SIRIUS in that thing, we do it all the time" ............. Then I drive 2 hours back with no SIRIUS .....

If Steve will come to Florida i am definitely in for

1.) SIRIUS Integration
2.) Power fold mirrors
3.) 6 disk changer
4.) Illuminated door sills.

Hard to say what else I can think of by the time this happens.. If he doesn't make it to FL, i would likely take a road trip to Houston.

I think the Mio is great. We had the smaller portable one (digiwalker) on a trip a couple of months ago and I couldn't believe how accurate and fast-responding it was. Granted, I haven't used one of the street navigation GPS's in a couple of years though, so maybe they're all that good.

Have you seen how the COMAND Nav works? Also how it displays the turns in the instrument cluser? Take a look
