That will fit properly, etc.....

I want it to look "factory", but be a newer updated better system...

Anyone have any ideas?

bump...


ANY Responses are welcome!

No clue....I don't even have COMAND.

Try PMing mbenznl for any ideas he may have.

For anyone who is interrested, here is a link to a very nice system from Pioneer which has Nav, Radio of course, CD, DVD, and XM, which is a must for me...

I have seen the system in person, and it looke great, but I need to find out if the steering controls for the channel, and volume will adaapt. If not this unit accepts voice commands for control, which is also a nice feature...

Anyway, I'd like to keep the "MB" gear intact, but I need some functionality...

I think if I can get it installed perfectly, it will be fine...

Check out this thread. I updated my NAV to the most state of the art Alpine DVD based system. It is completely integrated with OEM NAV screen and works great.

i've also heard that that the eclipse unit by fujitsu is a great alternative. it's got a hard drive and automatically rips any cd you put into it and stores it in memory.

i'm actually looking to get the eclipse one too. the avn2454 i believe. I did some research on the other aftermarket navis and this seems to be the best one. plays dvds too which a lot of the other ones u have to get another unit to play video dvds.

How do you adapt the Unit to the double din opening in the MB? My Tweeter installer says that it would have to be a custom fab job....

..."my tweeter installer"... ?

...but soon, he'll be on to installing midranges. Then in a few years, assistant Woofer installer...

there's a double din adaptor made just for mecedes. Do a search on it, there's a site that sells it for a few bucks i remember.

Thanks Dkim.....

pioneer and eclipse make pretty good ones

Yea man I did the pioneer avic n2 cost me about 2,200 installed with nav traffic. (tells u how many cars are on the highway ect.
