Has anyone heard anything more about the DVD Nav system in the SL? One rumor was Feb 2004; the other was as a new model upgrade with the 2005 SLs. Any info???

It is only a rumor, new DVD Comand will be for 2005 same as CLK.

Just heard at the Winter CES in Vegas that US 2005 model will have new stuff. Need to do a bit to the dash board mountings etc (according to my HK source)

That is correct. Richard, do you have sat button activated in your 2004 SL, if yes, how does it work?

Still awaiting the Sat receivers for the SL and the E class. I expect them by end of month per my Sirius friends. After using the DVD on the E class on similar trips to that which I take with ML or Porsche both which has CD based nav like the SL. I would definitely say cartography and display speed on E is best of the 4. I would also say the Furuno NAVNet system on my boat is better than any of them. MB system needs to allow exact street number to be entered, needs have WAAS GPS for even better accuracy and needs a faster processor for quicker refreshes
