Can i have mercedes-benz swap out my regular radio for stock navigation system on my 2008 C300 model?
Does anyone know? Also is it possible to install an aftermarket navigation system that works with all the controls in the car, so i wont have to install extra buttons or use a remote or anything. I want it to work with my car flawlessly? has anyone done this? Please help, im going to college next semester and i need a navi but not one of those stick-on ones. i want it built in like factory
You can have a genuine Mercedes sat nav fitted to replace the original stereo. However it is not that simple.
Here in the UK we have companies (found on eBay) that will replace and programme vehicle to suite.
I own a 2001 C class Mercedes and I replaced my radio with a Mercedes (Becker APS30) sat nav, bought second hand from eBay. I had to install an aerial (antenna) as an extra.
My sat nav works well and it shows directions on the radio screen. It works through all the steering wheel buttons as well. However it is possible to get the sat nav directions to show on the dash in front of the driver.
Here is where the problem arises. Mercedes wanted to charge me £330.00 ($660.00) plus tax @ 17.5% to programme this for me. I now just run with it only showing on the radio screen.
Replacing the radio with a sat nat is possible and a little time consuming, but I have been an auto electrician for 40 years so it is my job. It may be more difficult for you to do it yourself.
Aftermarket sat nav units can be fitted in the hole where your radio is, but they will not work via the steering wheel controls.
