I have a early 03 and it has the head unit with the tape Im looking to upgrade it. First question is it something your average person can do? Also I has anyone found them cheaper than Ebay? Last can I buy them in steps like the head unit first and then the nav?

cheaper then on ebay?!?!?! I don't think you will find these units any cheaper then the ones offered on Ebay (as most of those sellers got "their hands on the units" cheap)

Ebay ones will be the cheapest, but you are taking a gamble.

Dont know what your mechanical skills are but if You are NOT above average working on cars..I Would NOT recommend you do the project

Also (IF) The car is wired for the Nav...as several of the 03 were not

You can install a US OR Euro Comand head unit...Then add a MB TV Unit
Several options to pick from

Contact Steve @ www.MBENZNL.com re the Nav Unit..He Will Install the Nav
Also he WILL Warranty the Nav

Ebay is a Gamble....MBENZNL is Not!

it is not just taking a gamble...there is a rather large certainty it is buying stolen goods (german television has some interesting documentaries about 1) navigation units 2) ebay 3) eastern european sellers & 4) ploice rooms full with impounded units)

How do I know if my car is prewired for the nav . I think with the right directions I could install it myself.

you say you have an early 03, but your info says you have a 2004 E320? I'm pretty sure all 2004s are pre-wired to have navi

greetingz,
May I ask an innocent question? If stolen units are purportedly being sold on Ebay, why hasn't Ebay blocked these vendors?

Thats the question i been meaning to ask for a long time.
I sold an imitation watch AS AN IMITATION and ebay took off the listing in hours without any questions..
