help a lady out! 2006 ml350, need navigation
i bought an ml350 but shortly realized there is not a dvd slot for navigation. i would like nav, i am a realtor so very convenient to have it. do i just get the dvd nav drive or should i upgrade to an after market 2008 version with bluetooth and gps nav.....is that even a compatible option?
I am a female so definitely need input on this. I have someone that is handy and could change it out if it is compatible but I want to do the legwork on this first.
please advise.

my preference would be to use a Galaxy Note 2 phone as your phone and Google voice directions.

That doesn't address the car navigation issue, I have an iPhone with map quest voice GPS....I am looking to make the navigation on my Mercedes viable.

Well I have had cars including the ml350 with navigation but I always end up using google directions as they are best.

Don't bother the 60-08 navigation suck in my opinion. The interface is very outdated and the maps are not great at all. If you're going to upgrade get an 09+ navi or simply a Tom-Tom/Garmin.

I have an 08, and sorry to say, that even with updated maps its not intuitive. Its also not very accurate for house numbers. Agree to use Garmin or get an Android with windshield mount.
