Navigation in C55 question
My brother is looking into a very low mileage c55 (20k on it) but does not have nav in it. Is it possible to replace the non nav head unit with a stock nav unit and have it work?
Thanks for any responses

And it's an easy DIY. The later v2 (not sure how you tell, I sourced mine from MBenzNL) play MP3 discs. The CD Changer remains active as well.

You can use a radio out of a G-Class as well. It will have the rearview camera turned on though, so you can either add a camera or you'll get a blank screen when you go into reverse. The camera can also be disabled with STAR.

Yeah, I used an aftermarket on mine. Just have to run the camera video wires to the radio connector. I found out how to do it on here somewhere.

Yes and you just pop out the old DVD, pop in the new one, then wait a few minutes as it goes through an update procedure.

Well, that's just too damn easy. It would be nice to finally have a Nav System with my home on it since I live in a recent development. Thanks Viper

I have the 2012 nav dvd software that I burn on double layer dvds that I can send you for $50 shipped...I acquired this last year at some point because my 2010 disc burned up after like 6 months so I got the software and started making my own discs and they have been going good with no heat issues since last summer!
