Alrighty, COMAND is cool and all, but if it's not available for retrofit for the april build 211's, this may be a good alternative....

i personally think that touchscreen is what's missing from the MB Nav.....or it'd be nice to have both button and touchscreen options......

it might look nice, but it will be very hard to make sure it looks good in the interior. its a luxury car, i dont know if it would look good at all, but those are nice

I agree - you should have a touch screen and also buttons. However, to install this unit, you would have to trash the whole installed audio system - not too cool. However, it makes you wonder if an after market unit can be this nice, why not the MB Comand? How hard could it be?

I bought the Magellan Nav 750M. It is not as nice as a built in nav, but it works very well. It is transportable from car to car. It provides directions by voice and a screen for maps. A hard drive is used to store information for most of the USA.

I had the Command in a previous vehicle. I also experienced the Magellan in a rentral car. By far the Magellan seemed to be more accurate and most importantly much more comprehensive to use. Never had to read a manual.

I had the command also. The Magellan address entry is far superior and faster than Command. Route finding is about the same. I like the directional arrow on the screen better in the Command.

can you post a picture of how you mounted the Magellan in your car? My father-in-law just purchased one for his clk430 cabrio!

I have not mounted it. I use the voice commands 95% of the time. I pick up the hand unit on the rare occasion I need to see the map. Magellan web site has many mounting options.
