Is this that new driver's perspective navigation system they are using there, with rendered images, etc? Very very cool.

It is a hard disk based navigation system.
So, the searching speed is very fast.
As I understand , it can be used only with Japan navi maps.

Driver's perspective view ? Does it mean "Bird's view"
which shows roads and buidings in 3-dimentions ?

On these days most of navigation systems at Japan and Korea
have it. And some has IDO function that shows busy roads
with different color according to actual situation.

Thats pretty tight, I think Japan is like ages in front of us when it comes to tech stuff like that.

I don't think Mercedes themselves manufactures their COMAND units do they? I thought they out sourced it to another company and Mercedes just put their name on it like their head units and cd players.

So I wonder who is the manufacturer and if it will be available to US customers sometime.

It is very sweet.

I am so disappointed in the Command system in my 2003 SL500.

The manufacturer is a small Japanese company called SANPO.

They make many COMAND-style frames for SL class R230 ,
S class W220 , CL class W215, etc .

At that frame they install the touch screen and it is connected with a computer which has DVD player also.

This computer and DVD player is installed at the grove box.
It has a direct copy function of audio CD as well as many other
functions.

The navigation data installed in HDD of the computer is made
by Pioneer or Panasonic( you can select).

The screen size can be selected 7 inch or 8 inch.

Please check the following ( Japanese language , but you can see
the pictures and some English)

**** stands for c o c k
Plese understand that MBWorld.org automatically
make the word as ****.

Thanks.

Looks like US deployment would be a longshot.

Guess Ill just have to wait for Command II, whenever that comes available for SL series.
