So does the Merc nav system play regular ol' CD's or do you still need a changer. I apologize for my ignorance but I'm getting confused here.

good question !!!

has detail quality of maps improved with the new 2004 navigation CD's ??

those with older NAV CD's and updgraded to new CD's, what's the verdict ?

is it the software, or is it a newer 2.0 COMAND hardware upgrade in the 2004's ???

Installing EURO COMAND at end of this month, and want to ensure I get the lastest version (if hardware was upgraded).

Steve ??

greetingz,
This is the first question one needs to ask before considering going aftermarket. It's alot more complicated that you'd think.
