The chart I checked on the Dension site at Dension - Compatibility showed the Gateway 500 to be compatible with S-Classes equipped with MOST bus through model year 2007. An '06 would be nearly identical to an '05 - and I have installed one in my '05.
I suggest that you keep up with posts by Golfnut and Rob13572468 concerning installation of the GW 500 Version 3 hardware that is now being shipped; there are some questions on the new installation manual instructions that route the CDC directly to a new fiber optic input, when the CDC is in the trunk; and whether the earlier installation, such as that used for the GW 500 Version 1 and 2 hardware, is the only practical installation for a trunk-mounted CDC. See http://www.benzworld.org/forums/aud...-gateway-500-most-not-ready-prime-time-3.html.
The installation manuals have been a consistent weak point in Dension Gateway 500 product. I'm sure we'll get it figured out, but long-distance installations over the web are difficult to troubleshoot.
You would need the MOST version of the Gateway 500.
