Considering the trouble we have had with the Factory NAV system I wouldn't bet on it... <wry grimace>

I wonder if they will have a program that keys them specifically to the vehicle. If that is the case I doubt they will have anything for the S197 anytime soon. Maybe the 2010 refresh? Hopefully though they will be backwards compatible. I expect the cost to be up there though. With DIY CarPC's starting around $600 and the G4 at $1500 there are some options out there.
