Talking New to the Message Board. Hi! I'm Jason

Hi all. I was told by a friend that this is a very useful board for exchanging ideas and answering problems with fellow enthusiasts.

This is my car ...
www.cardomain.com/id/jting2

I just wanted to see if anyone has information on upgrading your navigation. I have a 2000 S500 and think the navigation is not all that great. I'm coming out of an SC430 (the nav was awesome in that car).

If you can, please post a picture of your upgraded navi.

Thanks!
Jason

Thumbs up Welcome to MBWorld!

Nice ride man! I like the ride height you have on your car. How did you lower your car? Any rubbing issues? Love the side skirt l.e.d. lights. Where did you get them?

Trust me, you're not the only one who hates Mercedes's Comand navigation, it's a piece of ****.

If you thought Lexus had a kickass Navi system, you should try Hondas!

Gorgeous. Most definitely. You might want to get the brabus fog light bulbs to match the xenon and side skirt lights? maybe piaa bulbs or something. i'm curious, what did you use to drop the car and what year is that?

Thanks for the comments. I actually have the side mirrors, foglights, and brabus illuminating door trim at home. Just haven't had time to install them. I'll post pics after I get that done. I had it custom dropped. No rubbing at all. Just a little annoying going into and out of driveways. I might raise it back up. I figured out how to bring the Command 3.0 into my 2000 S500. If you guys are interested in learning how to do this (at a reasonable price), let me know. In addition, I'll be able to hook up an AV device and play VCDs straight up while driving.

=)

Fun!

BTW, it's a full Brabus kit. This little lights come with the side skirts (option upgrade). They don't stay on while I drive so it doesn't look ghetto. Only turn on and off when I unlock/lock the doors.

Regards

Command 3.0 upgrade sounds interesting...
Any loss of functionality (i.e. Phone connectivity, etc.)
Please post some pics of your Command 3.0...

Not installed yet. NO loss of any functionality from what I know about the product. And on top of that, you get an extra AV input.

I'll let you know in a few weeks.

One of the cleanest I've seen. The Brabus kit is hot!! I'm definately thinking about it full Brabus now. Who sells authentic Brabus at a reasonable price?

Thanks ericktu! You're ride looks SWEEET! Any changes to the interior? My upgrade NAV unit is in the mail and I should get it next week! I've got the dual fogs... just haven't installed them. We should meet up. I'm in San Mateo and looks like you're in the bay area too!

Come on now Ericka I'm not on your case because your 15-17 years old

[QUOTE=ericktu]ok im 17 years old. is that a problem? my parents bought this car. so what? i still paid for all the modifications. anyways ignore ericker55 he is the jerk of the forum always trying to get on my case because of my age. lol loser =/



I'm sick and tired of little liars like you constantly B*ll Sh*ting on here...
Let's stop pretending some 15-17 yr old kid is going to come up with thousands of dollars worth of upgrades, and then to top it off it's your dad's daily driver! he's not going to give you Carte Blanche! to do whatever you want to it, (I'm sure plenty of you other forum members will agree w/me, when you were Erica's age would your dad let you drive his best car? let alone modify it in anyway? HELL NO! not in my family and neither will I if I ever have some snot nosed 16 year old ask for the keys to my Mercedes) it's not like your family is obscenely rich, it's just an S430! I've seen your other posts where you lied about it being an S500! So just stop chicken hawking on new forum members, to believe your fairy tales....

The difference between what I post about my car is I don't lie about it! Your reading comprehension is obviously on par with your pathetic writing skills or you wouldn't get what I say in my post's so screwed up. don't try and jump on the band wagon and put your retarded comments in.
I've put plenty of pic's of my car up, but you say you own this special SLBrabus modified car what year is it again 1990 something big deal! let's see some more pic's, you just have some random shot from a car meet that you probably pirated..

OK Ericka, have your daddy sign up and become a member, and if he can prove to me, and the rest of the members (Some sort of Legal Documentation proving you paid $$ for all the upgrades, and that he let's you drive it by yourself, the only way you'll be able to prove the last one is to meet 1 of the Moderators w/your daddy assuring the mod all is true) I'll leave this site and you can live happily ever after in your little imaginary cyber world.... Goodluck D*psh*t...

Umm... alrighttyyy... I didn't mean for this message thread to turn into a battle ground. As far as I'm concerned. Everyone here is great because everyone here are enthusiasts. I'd love to check out your Lorinser after the mods. Is there a way to private message people in this message board?
