A moment of silence must be observed
 It is with great regret that I must provide this information.
No more neon 
Knee ain't getting any better.
Neon is manual... I give up after this past week. I'm in too much pain
So, order was placed.
2006 Mercedes-Benz E350 A7

I saw some kid at an ice cream store with an old rusted out neon, white with a red spoiler and on the back, it said "Neons Kick Ass"... he walked by and I said "My name is Neon"  He didnt acknowledge it or anything...

How's the nav system? Most DVD based systems suck. The satelite ones are much more accurate, like Acura's.

As for DVD systems sucking... I have no complaints about ours.
Mostly user error... people don't take the time to learn the system

It's not so much that they suck, but DVD based systems run on old maps. The satelite systems (at least Acura's) have all the up to date road closures and changes as well as construction and traffic and the system provides alternate routes based on this information. The DVD systems can only provide static info based on what was available at the time of the DVD pressing.
