Like the look of the app radios but I don't want to out the genuine merc sat nav and Bluetooth so was thinking that the scangauge may be the best option.
did like the look of your radio tho......... hmmmmmm.
also very jealous of your sun roof.

You could also run the app on your phone or on a tablet if you like.

Don't just go for the ScanGaugeII, there's the equally good
ScanGauge 'E' which is mch cheaper.

However, as JJ says...if you have an iPhone then get the App
'DashCommand'... but if you have an android, get the App 'Torque'
(the 'lite' version of which is free). As you already use Bluetooth
I'd suggest that you would then require an OBDII WiFi adapter to
connect to either of the Apps, then it's job done and no wires.

I had a Scangauge II, used it a couple of times then shelved it
as I didnt use it all the time, then I got the Torque App, and I tend
to use that more. (I eventually sold the ScanGaugeII).
