Smile Great Navigation Installation Experience

After many unsuccessful, and frustrating, attempts on E-Bay to win bids on a navigation unit for my wife’s 2001 ML 320, I found a great web site that sells them outright. The price including the disk was about the same or less than my loosing bids on E-Bay; and certainly much less than the same part numbers from your friendly Mercedes dealer. Acutally, I was bidding on CD driven units on E-Bay, and I was able to get a DVD unit instead for about the same price. In addition, the fellow on the other end was able to not only provide me with excellent printed installation instructions with pictures, he was also able to give me verbal help over the telephone – that kind of service is hard to fine these days. We now have an excellent DVD navigation system that works just fine, thanks to Sammy at mbdoctor.com

If you don't mind me asking...how much did you pay for the unit? I'm in the market also.

Price for Nav unit

Sorry, I think I will not tell you the price because I "horse traded" a single CD player for the extra cables and splitter our ML did not have -- you should probably just contact Sammy either by phone or e-mail: 212-660-2905 or http://www.mbdoctor.com/
