Need Help with Upgrades! 99 ML430

Well, my brother is giving me his 100k miles ML430. There's alot of broken things in this car and it haven't been tune up for the last 15000 miles when the meter tells you to.

First of all, I want to know what upgrades are there and their pricing.

Here's what is broken:
1. The window center controll, in the middle where all the windows are controll. The thing is broken and all the buttons fell down the holes.
2. The drivers side mirror is broken and I want to replace it with those newer model side windows with the blinkers.
3. My front passenger seat heat is broken, my brother said he unplug the wires by mistake, when he tried to change the window controller, and don't know where it goes.
3. The car squeeks so much when driving.
4. I want the navigation system in there, and just want to know if it's possible to get it.
5. How much is tune-up, break/spring repairs, etc?

And can you guys name some places that you buy parts for the ML without going to Mercedes Directly. Looking forward for yours answers. Thanks

Don't know much about tuning up the ML's cause I'm trying to learn myself on my ML320. But I do know that buying tuneup type parts can be purchased online from http://www.gprparts.com/
for reasonable prices. Good luck!
