Am I the only one that thinks Nav is unnecessary?

No confirmation, however, that is the word I have read on the W211 E-Class board. There is also some rumor about the new W211 DVD Comand being compatible with "BlueTooth" phones. I have no idea what bluetooth is?

Bluetooth
E55 KEV - Bluetooth is a Motorola (amongst others) standard for wireless tranmissions.
One could envision wireless linkage of the phone (no beg deal), but how about wirless connection into command for an MP3 player ????

The bluetooth is a wireless protocol. Maybe that's the future.
I'm still interested if anyone can truly confirm whether the Nav can be retrofitted easily.

Dr. Chill;
I have a portable GPS system (nexian) that I use with my non-nav vehicles. The GPS antenna module plugs into my handspring visor. I load the visor with whatever maps I need (highway level for the trip, street level for my destination). It has very limited utility. It is difficult to pick up a GPS signal, even with the optional external antenna. Without the external antenna, I could only pick up a signal when the unit was on the dash, up against the windshield, and unavailable for viewing. It does better in my convertable with the top down. I don't know it the garmen system is much better. It would be nice if someone who has one would post their opinion of it.
