He quoted me $3,000 installed for the command aps, which is not the same as multimedia package..
What you will get is command system with hard-drive-based navigation, dvd playback & voice control..
However, you will not get harman/kardon logic 7 DSS system & 6-disk CD/MP3 changer..

Wether you get the DVD changer or not is just a matter of choice, the head unit with changer is somewhat more expensive, but the only difference between the two is the HU.
And the final price for all my parts including PCMCIA reader and map DVD was around $2000.
If you buy the parts from www.ebay.de you might end up at the same price.

I could add the IPOD interface, but I am more interested in the front, rear, and side view camera that can be installed and controlled with the Comand HU with APS (NAV).
however, I looked at UMI and I was very wary of the fact that I have not seen anyone say they can update the maps on it. Has anyone been able to update the MAPs?

Yeah, I was in contact with him before decided to get UMI instead of command aps..

depending on where you get the parts, you can do it under $4k even with the dealer installing the Axial blower fan and performing the MOST Configuration and limited SCN coding. You should be able to install a lot of the system yourself. There are threads in different forums about parts, installation Q&A, etc.
The only issue I have is to get a local service shop to configure the IC to display NAV data, as the dealer would not as MB said no. But I can get that done anyway.

A bit strange as the first devices were sold quite some time ago. Either the currently available devices have quite an old map database or if later devices have a more recent database, then the older ones are lacking an update that should really be available.
This isn't critical yet but pretty soon first buyers are expecting updates. Other navi devices have updates more frequently.

On another forum, some of the posters were saying they contacted MBZ directly and still could not get an answer on how to perform a MAP update or the availability of a MAP update. Seems to me since MBZ and some dealers are pushing UMI pretty hard, that an update should be available. I spoke to MBZ NA about the UMI, and they told em that MBZ Germany is working on upgrading UMI to allow voice control, but they had no date when that would be ready. That would be a good feature to add, along with the NAV MAP updates.

Wow stupid mb dealer ship told me it was cheaper to buy the adapter come to find out there isn't one? MB salesperson lied and ripped me off big time. He told me it was only 600 on eBay I'm pissed

Wait... there's a front and side view cams?? how come nobody has done these mods (assuming it's as easy to do as the rear-cam mod). I'd be all over this.

There is. It's called the Becker Map Pilot, you can get it from ebay for around $200. You need to install the wiring harness too, if yours did not come preinstalled. Not sure how much that is.
