How much did it cost to add nav by Steve? I'm willing to pay up to 2,600 dollars. Is that reasonable?

1300USD is just about what it takes to get an OEM MB US spec comand installed in your car...and some possible additional airfares...

You'll be completely satisfied with Steve. I live in Virginia, so I drove up to NYC to get mine installed on his last trip. He did such a great job in less than 45 minutes and he did it on La Guardia's parking lot !!!!! That was awesome !!!!!
You'll be very happy with him and his magic.
He installed it on my C230 Coupe so if you want to see some pictures let me know or if you work/live near Alexandria or Downtown DC I can show it to you.

Good luck !!!


PS: Does Comand sounds even better (louder) than the Audio 10 or is just my imagination???

Actually, I would like to see it. Judging from all the people on this forum, I trust Steve's work. I go to Georgetown. If you can't send me pictures, I can drive over there to see it.

Is the US version still non-DVD base? If so, I'll wait and see if they'll switch to DVD base so that all I need is one disc for the whole US of A.

What are the differences between the Euro Command system and the factory installed version?
