Best VIM module

Hi to everyone. I'm new to your forum and from what I've been reading on here can learn a lot from everyone.
Looking to install a VIM module on my 2007 S600. I'm sure this has been discussed before but anyone have suggestions on which unit to go with?

Thanks in advance for all your advice.

It's plug and play. The module bypass the e-brake so that you can watch DVD while the car is in drive.

Thanks for the advice. I've just put in my order for VIM221. Hopefully it will be as easy to install as they say.

How about you buy two of them, one from Sweden, one from US, do the installation and report back to us your opinion.

I just finished installing and testing my midcity-engineering VIM221 and I couldn't be happier. Installation was super simple (besides a defective connector on the VIM harness that took some time fitting) and everything works as if the VIM wasn't there even when it's switched "ON". The nav also talks over the DVD video/audio. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to add VIM to their car.

Thanks to the forum members who suggested this product!
