Installing NAV system from 2000 ml350 in 98 ml 320
I have the opportunity to purchase the nav system from a 2000 ml350. I want to install it in my ml320 that has the Bose system, is this possibile, and what are the instructions if anyone has done this before. I appreciate any help the experts can provide.

Let's get the right info, first.
ML350's are only available from '03 - '05, in which case the MCS are wired via Fiber Optic.
We'll need to know what year is your ML320 and even though it is equipped with Bose it may not be via Fiber Optic.
If your ML320 has Bose but no Fiber Optic then you're much better off investing in an aftermarket navi system with all the convenient stuff that the factory nav don't have (BT/backup cam/USB/etc....) and not to mention ease of future map updates.

I failed to see in the subject line you indicated that your ML320 is a '98.
It will not work. You'll need: GPS antenna and cabling. Look at the back of the nav unit and compare to yours and see what your original do not have to supplement.
