Navigation in cluster?!

I installed the nav myself since it didn't come equipped, but did someone say that you get nav info on your instrument cluster?!? I asked the dealer if they could update the computer for NAV but they said there's nothing to update.. Any help?

It should display nav information, provided you are on the right page.
I too was under the impression that the nav head unit & GPS antenna
were P&P.

Your dealer is wrong even my W203 has nav in the cluster display... it has to be enabled by the dealers star diagnostics.

+1 as I did it on my '04 w211. They have to install it then turn on the feature in the dash by using Star. It took my dealer 15 minutes to do. It is also explicit in the install instructions of the nav unit as an accessory.

So what does it actually display? Just satellite information or mileage before turns and what not? Dealers here in San Antonio seem to be clueless.

It displays the name of the road you are on, the direction, and how many miles left on that section of road.
