Command/Navigation package
Anyone went without this package? I have it on my ML350 and thought the navigation did not work that well, I ended up using google map on my phone all the time. And I am using my iphone for music, so I am thinking of skipping it and just get the rear view camera. Will I be missing any other features without it?

Now, if you get the wider screen regardless, the value of the package may slightly diminish (especially since the rearview camera can be added a la carte).

Besides the screen, there is a bit of lag when moving through the menus on a non Nav Command car. The reason being is because of the speed of the internal hard drive. I would try both, W205 cars are all the same, and then decide.

I actually really like the voice command. So far I have only used it to tell the car to make a phone call to a named person. Nonetheless, it is great to push one button on the wheel and then just say "call [name]". This is much easier than scrolling through a list of names by hand.

I got it, apps and internet is laggy. And internet radio is currently not supported, rendering it useless. The nice big screen is nice, my cla loaner has a small one and its annoying.

2006, E350, 142k miles.
I bought ML350, 2007 today. (I had 190E, 300E and have an E320).
When I start the car, I just see a vehicle icon and a compass on main console. No maps or directions. What is the issue? Do I need to buy a separate CD for navigation? Sorry, if it is a stupid question.
Any help will be appreciated.
