... are always a good time.
Audio / Navigation / Entertainment etc..

Saw this from MBdoctor.com

Any ideas? Easy plug and play for these things? Is it worth it?

Since I will be buying a house in SF soon I wont be able to upgrade to another car for awhile. My C32 is a keeper now. Not that that is a bad thing.

Thanks folks!

personally, if you're thinking of upgrading your audio/NAV, i'd stay very far away from anything Mercedes/OEM. Our NAV is one of the worst I've ever used. My Mom has a Luxus from 2001 and her NAV is about 10 years more advanced then the MB one. Sorry I can't give you any recommendations, maybe check out the regular W203 forum too.

Good Luck with you house too Miguel!

I would have to agree with our system being out dated. But if you want to stay stock you could go with MBdoctor or Steve at MBenzNL. I like Steve's support a little better because he includes the tools and all the required plugs with his set up. Nice instructions to. The Euro model tells what songs are playing and the artist's which is nice.

The after market systems are really nice and with the installation kits they turn out really nice looking to. I believe some even have the steering wheel control module. Im thinking about the same thing and Im on the fence. My 2005 nav doesnt have some of the features I had in my Euro 2004 nav. And Oregon is going to pass the hands free law soon so a Bluetooth system is a must at this point. The Mercedes system requires a lot of equipment and expence versus some of the new after market system are included???
