For those of you without NAV, now you may have an alternative.. at least those of you in Europe..

The retrofit is intended for the A-, B- and C-class in Europe as far as I can tell. Looks like an US NAV with similar functionality is the StreetPilot c550.

PS. Hey Mark, that Siemens NAV was only for the very first MLs, the 98s and 99s. I believe it was the first NAV MBUSA offered. Then came the MY2000 W220 with COMAND 2.5 and the MY2000 M-Class with MCS 1.

I Installed Several of the GEN 1 nav on the Early MLs...Cant forget the Old MLs...lol
Also The A class can be retrofitted with a REAL Nav/comand as I Will be doing it on my A ...the dash is set up for double din Easy retrofit!
And a LOT more user friendly!

Hey guys, I wouldn't understand this as competition to an integrated system like the COMAND. 
MB probably brought this because of the upcoming Nokia 330.
