My only gripe with my cls...
I own a 2006 cls500, with about 65K miles, and have done simple modifications, but am trying to keep it stock as possible. I love the look, power, suspension, and interior. My only gripe is the boring Mercedes COMMAND entertainment system. I am thinking about a DIY install that involves a Chines GPS system, but not sure about it.
My car may or may not have fiber optic (haven't yet check if there is an amplifier in the trunk), which would add considerably to the install time and the cost. Here is one unit I have considered:

What do you all think? Keep the car stock or go for the entertainment mod??

This was one of the first things I wanted to do when I got the car.. just never got around to doing it... They came a long way since then, there's a module that works with the fiber optics now so you don't have to bypass it. I was considering getting something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-in...460.0.0.iJxQy3

Yea it’s Ali express though I’m sure you can find the same thing cheaper from another seller. I think I had them down to around 450 total with the fiber optic module when I was shopping these.
