If last year is any guide, this July should start the 05 production.

No - due to a changed fiber optic protocol (MOST versus D2B) the MOST based DVD comands are not compatible with the older D2B based cars (unless you want to change the wiring in the car along with the control units for CD changer, phonesystem, voice recognition, Bose sound, tele aid).

Steve,

I'm assuming that those people who order the 2005 model without COMAND will be able to retrofit the DVD nav. The reason I ask is that apparently the 320 wont be getting DVD nav and I'm not spending the extra cash for a 500 just for the navigation system.

Any info on this would be helpful.

Cheers,

Del

I just can't see the 500 getting the DVD nav and the 320 not getting it. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Bear in mind, those aren't the only 2 models of CLK that Mercedes do around the world - there are many more different models, particularly here in the UK where the 500 is not popular at all due to high fuel prices.
