NZ Benz Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: New Zealand Vehicle(s): 1993 300SEL/S320 Posts: 2555 | GPS NAV After a recent discussion with 1996_S500 on the usefulness of the old CELL space in teh W140 I want GPS nav with a screen there, what exactly do you need. I will not do it unless I can get the stuff real cheap as it is not that needed. Here is a base unit I found: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=59383302&permanent=... I think it is an older unit but assuming that all the stuff is with it as the seller says less the screen tehn all I should need is a map CD and a screen correct? Also can this operate independent of the headunit if it needs to because I don't want to buy a new stereo? | ||

1996_S500 Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: GPS NAV Sounds like it is going to be really cool NZ Benz. Although, I don't think I have seen people do it the way for a GPS, People have done it this way, but not near the phone area. That would cool if you could make it work. And $10 for that unit sounds like a good deal. Is it? | ||

Did some more research on the unit and it seems that this is one of the japanese ones for shich there is no software for NZ, I have $1 on t and I am told it plays DVDS so it may be good for something. The ones that work here don't seem to be the ones with the independent screen, but I will keep looking. | ||

Both of these radios will give you a nice factory look. :) If the link worked I would. Also I just replaced and had my stereo rewired. I'm not actively looking for GPS, I doubt I would ever use it. I just think it would be a neat thing to have. | ||
