The optionally available COMAND APS control and display system not only guides you to your destination, it entertains you as you go. It features a navigation system with integral radio and CD player. It also lets you operate the optional sound system, the CD changer and the telephone. A TV tuner for analogue and digital TV reception is available as an option in combination with COMAND APS.

The navigation system works with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and a DVD on which the European road network is stored. An additional service offered in Germany and some other European countries is dynamic route guidance, which uses traffic information provided by radio stations to guide you around tailbacks where there is an alternative route.

The optional Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system provides superb musical enjoyment in your M-Class. With twelve high-performance loudspeakers and the multi-channel stereo technology you have got your very own concert hall, wherever you are sitting. Added to which you have the sort of functions you won’t find at a live concert. For example, you can set the surround reproduction individually – either just in the front, middle or rear sections, or for the entire passenger compartment.
High-tech innovations like MOST, which improves the sound of poorer recordings, and the 11-channel DSP amplifier make the surround-sound system a genuine highlight and guarantee an incomparable in-vehicle acoustic experience.
