Nav upgrade help needed, please!

I have a 2003 SL55 and I want to upgrade the nav system...can I upgrade to a 2005? Is it possible to upgrade to the dvd system from the newer model and if so, what would that require? Does anyone have a used system they could sell me? Thank you for taking the time to consider and respond to my request!

With enough money anything is possible, however without being completely unreasonable and having money as no object, this upgrade is not possible.

This would be the best way to upgrade your nav system from the 2003 to 2009 spec.
Get rid of the OEM POS

Thanks for this great advice! It looks like the Kenwood is the way to go! Really appreciate the feedback!

View some of the installs folks have done on this board. They do not get rid of the trim.
