Question 04 CL, DVD Based Nav. MOre info?

I was just looking into the new 2004 CL's and they're supposed to come with a DVD based Navigation system. Are these equipped in any current MB's? Any pictures or more info? My question is, is the whole COMAND interface different? I've always disliked the MB COMAND system, even on the current model cars.

Also, if you all didnt know, the added features on 04 CL's are:
Sirius Satellite Radio.
Tire pressure monitoring system - Standard on all CL's.
7-Speed auto transmission - standard on 500
Bose Sound with Dolby 5.1 and two additional speakers added to rear.
Keyless Go chip card is now integrated into SmartKey.

The COMAND will be the same as the 2003 Replacment E-Class COMAND (DVD) equipped vehicles. You can find out more as well as see the pictures by checking out the E-Class forum and doing a search.

LOL. True. That is the way they get people to trade up.

Actually out of all the new things, the only thing I would be interested in is the DVD nav and Keyless go chip in the Key.

Sirrus, I could care less about. The tire pressue monitoring system is way too buggy and error prone. Everyone that has it wishes they didn't becuase it starts to bother them when they need to re-set it all the time. The 7-Speed doesn't apply to the AMG's yet. The Bose sound upgrade I am still waiting to hear.

Most in the forums have commented on certain errors that cause the need to reset often. While the reset is not hard, it is apparently irritating.
