Why doesn't the SLR have command?

I love the SLR think that it's a beautiful car, but for a car that's almost a million dollars, why doesn't it have navigation? It just uses a nice looking Audio 10. wtf?

I don't think command would weigh it down anymore.

Any thoughts?

i believe it does have the comand. you don't see it because the metal cover shields it when the car is parked.

I really don't think so, I've seen a bunch of pics of it without the metal cover, and it looks like an audio 10...

Check these pics out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6315

The 65's have 13 hp less, but they're less than half the price of an SLR, and they have command standard. That's why I don't get why MB decided to cheap out on the SLR.

It is not a Audio 10 but the Audio 30APS navigation unit.

Why Enzo doesn't have "ferrocommand"? Because it's a supercar without any doubts

who would want to look at a comand or even listen to the radio when you can hear that crazy engine grumbling. that sounds better than any radio station or cd

I agree, it makes more sense to be lost, so you can drive more.
