Universal Media Interface UMI price in Canada and USA
I went to the local dealer today and I asked them about upgrading the stranded audio system 20 to the accessory Media interface to have the GPS enabled into my GLK
at the beginning the dealer have no idea about what I was talking about, they even told me it is not possible even though its in the catalog they have
Any way after 30 min searching on their computer they give me a quote for the accessory which they weren't sure about for $2010 + taxes and 4 hr labor
The price is so expensive, I wonder anyone in Canada had the accessory installed on their GLK or possible for any other MB model
and if someone knows what is the price in their local dealer whether in Canada or even in the US
any comment is appreciated
Cheers !

350 GLK, C280
The option for the nav is $2790 when installed by the factory. This includes the rear view camera but that only adds a $200 camera (probably less than $100 to MB). Why would you think the dealer would charge less? Actually $2010 plus 4hrs at $100 / hr is cheaper than ordering it in the initial build.
Best bet is to find a wrecked GLK and pull it from there.

That's a little expensive to me.
Buy a stand alone GPS unit, which works better IMHO, for much much cheaper price.
If you insist to go with OEM look then you can try this route:

I think you are asking about MB's Nav+4 UMI system..... it's an add-on to the existing Audio20 system. Even has free Traffic! Used to be $2k+... and then installation. The cheapest out there at the moment is $840. from a MB dealer in Florida.... not sure whether they will ship to Canada, but there are ways around that. LOL! Unfortunately, it will still utilize the 5" screen, my reason for not purchasing one. I've considered lots of alternatives, but always fall back to my trusty, and better, Garmin. I've found a great little vent mounting device that holds the 5" Garmin in relative view, attaching to the air vent, and can be angled in mutiple directions...

I check the link and the guy did a pretty good job in converting the entertainment center, and I am actually consider his step as an option but if something coming from MB, its gonna be more professional than DIY

, is it $840 for the hardware or for everything with installation ? I have friends who lives in FL I might be able to do something about that

Dam... sorry. Forgot to post the link!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...8a0394&vxp=mtr
It's an Ebay item that MB Melbourne has been selling... Most of the other Fleabay items for Nav+4 are about $1250. Install is on you own. Or, I've heard that the instructions are on the USA MB mechanics site(can't remember the name offhand) but you could download the install from there. Not that hard if you're capable of removing the head unit and adapting some cables... they only fit one way... and no interacting with MB Germany to recode, etc.
Just plug in GLK Nav+4 on Fleabay...
