ugly.

I have to tell you, the best integration of such a system into a car/dashboard right now - is on the Cadillac CTS. The nav on that car is unbelievably good.

Not impressed. Not easy to read. It needs much bigger screen and less fancy NAV - need NAV for driving, not entertainment.

Anyone else notice thats pretty much a preview of the 2010 E class interior. Minus the wood/leather wheel, the leather wrapped dash and probably that choice of wood tone, that looks to be close to what the production 2010 E class will look like. So for all those that were complaining about the test mule photos..how you like them apples?

There is another video posted in AMG forum. It looks much "cleaner" and easier to use. Still a few months of UI design to finalize. Anyway it deserves to be watched - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQL0tqLCjcQ

2010 GLK 4Matic Steel Gray
i just saw some pics from the LA autoshow of the Concept Fascination displaying the new COMAND interface, which leads me to think that the 2010 E-Class might be the first model to receive it.

Top Gear recently did a review on the new iDrive which came out with the 7-series. It also features a lot of the "connected" features... stuff like the ability to send addresses to your navi via the Internet, etc. Pretty interesting stuff that they are coming up with. Makes me wonder why I can't hook up my COMAND to my WiFi and update the address book.

If you have the Navi & Tele-aid optionis on your W204 you have the ability to send addresses to your navi via the internet, it's called "search & send".

C180K 2011 COMAND, AMG, Dynamic Xenon, Business Pack, H&K Audio and +
Looks really sweet. if this comes out in C as well in future I will for sure get this myCOMAND in my new C. Most options I am not intrested in , like internet/email ..

The best part is Physical NAV view and the Media Library with art cover of the songs.
