Hi guys and gals,

I just purchased and imported an R63 from Canada!

My wife and I are excited about not have to get the traditional minivan just yet, but my wife wants an upgraded infotainment system. It seems that there are only two companies that have almost plug-and-play infotainment system. Below I have the links and my opinion of pros and cons of each. Anyone who has any experience with these companies would be much appreciated.

Our main wants are for an integrated backup camera (one of the few options this R63 did not come with), Bluetooth capabilities, a decent 3-D navigation, integration with the existing steering wheel controls, and if possible integration with the oem rear entertainment system.

Pros: - This company is located in Germany and seems to have better customer service
- They have a 30 day return policy with customer satisfaction guaranteed.
- They have a 3 year warranty
- The system can be fully integrated with the Harmon Kardon amplifier/sub-woofer by adding an additional interface for a little more money.

Cons: - The unit does not look like the oem unit.
- Although I have not gotten confirmation yet, I don't think there newest head units are compatible with the W251. I know the Aurora 2 is compatible, but it is not their newest system.

Pros: - The units look completely oem and blends in with the dash seamlessly.
- Their most up to date unit is available for the W251 (includes dual core processor, large hard drive, etc)

Cons: - There is no return policy unless the system shipped is not the correct unit or is not working properly. This company is from China and it seems that these companies have a different culture than most Western companies that are more consumer friendly.
- There is only a 1 year warranty.
- The systems they offer do not integrate with the Harmon Kardon amplifier/ subwoofer. It would require installing an aftermarket amplifier to run the oem subwoofer.

Anyone's input who has had any experience with either company would be very much appreciated. Otherwise, I guess I'll end up being the guinea pig.

Please do not comment about "Made in China products" unless you have had direct experience with this company. I have already searched this forum as well as others with plenty of negative comments about Chinese companies, but non of these posters had any "real" experience with the company in question.

Thank you
