Where is the article or the picture. This is useless without any evidence...

I have heard that the 500 will get the 7-spd tranny & both cars will have the DVD Navigation. I have also heard that they both will also have the updated C-class dash cluster and center console controls.

2005 upgrades

I'm ready to order a CLK 320 now but I want to have the DVD Nav. Do you think if I ordered the car now, I could retrofit the DVD Nav later? Will it fit? I looked at the C-Class center console but couldn't see how it was different from the current 2004 CLK. What are the differences? Thanks for all the info guys!

Unfortunately, no. The electrical architechture is totally different.
