I have a 2004 MB E500 that did not come with Navi, BT or Sat Radio as an option. Since that time, Mercedes has made them available as a after-market upgrade to the COMMAND unit… for $5,000!!!
After many hours spent searching for the best alternative, I’ve decided to go with the nuvi 850, a jawbone earpiece and my Samsung Nexus 50. This is not the perfect scenario for me as I would have preferred an integrated solution, however, the unforeseen benefit is that each device specializes in a job well done instead of picking one device that does a mediocre job at one of the three.
