  1. I am told I cannot retrofit a sat/nav in my W163. Is this correct ?
  2. I am told I cannot fit a sat/nav from another Merc 'cause it wont fit? Is this correct?
  3. I am told I can only buy an aftermarket kit (eg Blaupunkt) made for Australia ? Is this correct? (I live in Melbourne, Australia).
  4. I am told I would upset the electrics of the car if I install another unit. Is this correct?
I will be travelling in the Australian Outback and a sat/nav system is essential so any advice will be extremely grateful.

I believe the stock MCS Navigation unit for the ML is for use in the US and Canada only. The answers to your questions are, no, yes, no and no. I believe they make a Command unit for your ML that will work in Australia. My 2 cents. Good luck.
