  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 have a 99 ML430. It came with the smaller radio and cubby. I took a 2005 nav system and plugged it right in. I just had to pop on the antenna. I bought the parts at the Benz dealership with no hassle and haven't had any issues since.
