The design intend is modular so that pieces or designs can be reused. But in the field it cost arm and a leg to upgrade. The field service arm has also been instructed to make it difficult to upgrade so new cars can be sold. |
CalifSLK - sorry, I think you misunderstood - I never considered switching from D2B to MOST - would have been cheaper to trade in the '04 and get an '05.
I was talking about replacing an A10 head with a D2B COMAND HU - which is actually pretty straight forward, as on the C class, it's a standalone unit. Even with the relative simplicity of the install, I just couldn't justify the costs of a used COMAND vs the costs of a DICE and TomTom..
