DvD Drive for GPS/NAV

Where do I find the DVD Drive for my Pre-installed GPS?
Well I know the Dealer LOL, but they will kill me in price.
I been looking all over ebay and I also Google it, but no luck. Maybe I'm calling the piece the wrong thing trying to search for it.

I have an ML350 08 and the nav system does not recognize newer communities and streets. Can I get a DVD on ebay to update my system? Do they come out every year? Also I need a puck for my bluetooth. The salesperson said they were easy to find but they cost $500. Can I buy one of those on ebay as well? I am new to this forum so not sure where to post this.

Got my bluetooth puck from eBay (used) for less than half the price that the dealer charges for a new one.

For those that are reading this later.... The reason so many MB bluetooth pucks are available cheap on ebay, is they are made QUICKLY obsolete when new phones and phone firmware comes out. Almost all are not updateable by the end user, so you have to throw it out or sell it on ebay and get a new one. The WHOLE PURPOSE of the Viseeo MB2, is that you can update it yourself when new things come out (includes the software and cables to do it at home) and also has more features, is compatible with all phones, and has better sound quality and a mic control on it... the best part.... IT IS NEARLY HALF of dealer price for the MB puck.

Maybe. The one I got works well with the iPhone 4S and my wife's Samsung phone. No problems with downloading the phones contacts.

Exactly.... it is hit and miss. There are dozens of MB puck part numbers. They work until the "next" phone comes out or software gets updated that requires some change. Then you have to throw it out (or sell it to some unsuspecting ebay user) and get a new one.
OR just get a MB2 and be done.
