Garmin says the systems will also include a small secondary display for upcoming turn information, and users will also be able to control the navigation system via either the vehicle's rotary control or voice commands. The system will also work with the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Driver Assistance System to provide location services for "challenging situations."
Mercedes-Benz is the second major automaker to adopt Garmin for navigation. Chrysler has successfully employed the tech as part of its UConnect system, offering up intuitive navigation with good graphics.

Vilner Enhances The Interior Of Mercedes-Benz SL
Bulgarian tuner Vilner has done a job on the interior of the previous-generation Mercedes-Benz SL and left almost no surface untouched. Calling it "one of their bravest projects," the standard leather has been replaced with either antiqued brown Nappa leather or crocodile hide, the plastics have been covered in Alcantara with the same material lining the roof, and the wood has been redone, in some cases painted by hand, to match the decor.

The latest on the Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL: Roadster driving pleasure at its best
The SLK and SL sports cars from Mercedes-Benz are characterised by fun at the wheel and open-air enjoyment. Now the two Roadster models also boast an extended range of appointments and will be available to order from 8 April.
From now on, all six- and eight-cylinder variants, as well as the four-cylinder models equipped with COMAND Online or the Driver Assistance package, will boast a new, high-resolution colour display in the instrument cluster. The 7G‑TRONIC Plus automatic transmission, meanwhile, has received a technical upgrade in the guise of a new Momentary M mode. The benefit of this: if the driver has shifted up or down manually via the optional shift paddles, after a set period of time the transmission independently switches back to automatic, fuel-efficient shift mode. In addition, the driver also receives shift recommendations. Also now available as an optional extra is a tyre pressure monitoring system.
In terms of its exterior, the SLK boasts some fresh highlights with two newly available exclusive light-alloy wheels as well as two new paint finishes.
