Aftermarket GPS unit, input please.
Hey guys, I was searching for an aftermarket GPS unit and came across this:
http://www.cargpsvideo.com/benz-c-cl...p856.html#show
Have any of you had any experience with this company? I like the OEM look they have, but I'm a little skeptic as to their legitimacy. Any input will be greatly appreciated, or if you know of another that looks close to the factory unit. Thanks in advance!

I have a unit similar to what you've posted. I love the oem look and it was plug and play.
Here's a link to the US distributor that I ordered from for $675 shipped and got it in 2 weeks.

It's plug and play. Navigation software is on SD card that you plug into the unit. My unit came with everything included, gps antenna and mini mic for bluetooth.

Yes but I ordered it from crazyaudiocraze.com, not from the wholesale website that nismo is asking about. It's a great unit for the price and it looks oem when installed.

WOW, this looks like just what I've been looking for.
Anyone know if this would plug and play with my Bose system...probably not, huh?
So, it sounds like the steering wheel controls and bluetooth are built in (and included)? But, will need to purchase the SD card for the GPS. Does this sound right?
Yes, post pix please.

I am in the process of trying to clarify with the Chinese site.
They respond quickly to emails
I think they have the images reversed.
The image they show for the A - B - Sprinter class looks to be the same unit that caraudiocraze is showing for the C230

Here's the reply I got from cargps after my query about reversed images..
Hi
We dont have reversed at present
This one is OK for you car http://www.cargpsnavi.com/benz-c-clc...ayer_p856.html
I would be leery about ordering from them. Their website looks like a template setup.
If you go to their website, click on the Dropship tab. Looks like they forgot to remove that when setting it up

Wow.. This is nice. 
Has a lot of function and so much you can work in it. Online access? Heck, I think I can just visit the forum in my car now.
I need some updates from someone who had installed it. Pictures please.
