Kevin,
Thanks for the heads up and photo's. We are waiting in anticipation over what our's will look like. Hopefully the '04's will be the same, but with the preset situation fixed.

Kevin,

I was wondering if your nav offered an "enlarged intersection view". Basically, I know if the map view and the turn arrow indicators, but at intersections that are more complex, a close-up view of the actual intersection layout can be very helpful. In the Pioneer and Magellan systems, this close-up of the intersection view appears as you approach an intersection where you have to make a turn as directed by the nav system. Does your nav offer a view like this? I know that the 3-D bird's eye would do this but since your version doesn't have the 3-D view, is there some 2-D overhead version view with this kind of close-up as you approach a turn?

Actually, I think that Kevin did post a turn...that appears to be a common European roundabout and it is indicating a left turn out of the roundabout. It would be interesting to see a normal intersection graphic.

KevinR: thanks for the pictures.

Do you have the an Audio Input (RCA) in your glove box?

I've seen it posted somwhere here and I believe it's only for the Euro version.

KevinR

Etenn,

You're right, it's an "European roundabout" I post you a normal intersection and later an complex one.

03BABY!,

There is one Audio Input (RCA) in the glove box and video input if you have TV option (I don’t take this option)

is ur nokia phone and ur car have blue-tooth ?
how does the blue-tooth work on the car?

KevinR

Actually the command isn't Bluetooth. But apparently for the end 2003, the MB phone will be Bluetooth then command system too I think.

Kevin, your probably don't know that they have been thousands of posts speculating about the w211 dvd nav, and your the first confirmed person on this board with one. We've yet to see this system in the U.S., but I've got to believe that if your April build has this comand, than our's will also.

Is the DVD in the trunk? Does the slot in the dash play dvd's, MP3 encoded cd's?

Thanks,
David

I've seen a unit that looks the same as Kevin's unit on the CL600 and S55 AMG on my dealership's sales floor (with the screen off). The reason I noticed it was because the screen was rectangular instead of the square screen of the old cd based navs. Has anyone seen this on higher end mercedes models?

KevinR

Your right the DVD is in the trunk (one DVD for Europe).
The slot in the dash play DVD (My dealer said me the quality is better with the TV option). When you play DVD you can see the movie under 5 or 10 KMH. In higher speed you can only listen the movie.
Unfortunately no MP3.

03BABY!

Thanks KevinR. I hope that our replacement cars will have these as well. At least the RCA audio part would be nice.

The slot in the dash play VCD?

KevinR
