command or avn2454

i saw jc230k's post of his eclipse avn2454 nav unit..

and i was damn intrigued by it..

im going to either purchase a command unit or the avn2454 nav unit...

which one do you think i should get? i do plan on adding a amp/sub later.

btw i drive a w203 05 ss. so the command unit i would be getting would be a dvd based one...

I have a toyota version of the AVN in my lexus and I love it. It's an awesome system, touch screen also and map is very detailed with building shapes too. But when it boils down to it, I would never lose that mercedes benz factory appearance and functionality. THe DVD based system is much more superior than the one installed in previous classes. Screen is larger also. Go with the Benzo one!

Go aftermarket if you can stand the look.

i say command, it will look so much better in your car then an aftermarket unit. Personally i feel the aftermarket head units look ugly as hell in a benz.

Have you guys even seen the AVN2454? It looks completely stock and built in. Also, Kenwood has a 7015 (i think that's the number) that has a similar OEM look.

So the Lexus is a Fujitsu/Eclipse unit? Anyone can verify that?
