NAV-TV Releases M.O.S.T. Fiber-optic Radio Replacement Interface For Mercedes Benz® ML, GL & R Models

Coral Springs, FL - 8.11.2016 -- NAV-TV Corp., a global leader in Automotive OEM integration, announces the release of the M.O.S.T  HUR MB V2 head unit replacement interface for M.O.S.T fiber-optic equipped Mercedes Benz® ML, GL & R vehicles.

The M.O.S.T  HUR MB V2  from NAV-TV™ is a M.O.S.T. fiber-optic head unit replacement module for select Mercedes Benz® ML, GL & R vehicles that allows the factory radio to be replaced with an aftermarket head unit.  The installation is plug-and-play, requiring no modification to the vehicle, and retains the factory M.O.S.T amplifier, sound quality, speakers and steering wheel controls.A European to Motorola AM/FM antenna adapter is included with the kit and vehicle-specific dash kits are available for purchase.

"Since the release of our “OPTI-1” MOST head unit replacement interfaces for Mercedes S, SL, CL, CLS and E class three years ago, our sales staff have received over a dozen requests per day for an ML, GL & R solution. These factory radios are beginning to fail due to age, don’t have attractive features like Android Auto or Apple Car Play and a factory replacement can exceed $4,000.00. In some cases that is over 40% of the total value of the vehicle,” stated NAV-TV Vice President, Derek Schmiedl.  “Replacing the radio in the past required a complete re-wire of the vehicle to bypass the factory amplifier. This was time consuming, expensive and unfortunately eliminated the sound quality of the factory premium amplified system. Needless to say, many customers were less than pleased with the results. With the M.O.S.T  HUR MB V2 , Mercedes Benz® ML, GL or R Class owners now have a cost-effective and seamless integration option to retain the sound quality of their factory sound system while adding the  benefits and features of an aftermarket radio."

Setup of the interface does not require a computer and is done through the vehicle instrument cluster and steering wheel controls. Users have the ability of adjusting Gain, Bass, Treble, Balance, Fade and Logic 7 at will. To help ensure safe operation behind the wheel, the M.O.S.T  HUR MB V2  has a built-in steering wheel control interface which allows volume, track, Bluetooth and other radio functions to be controlled without taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road.* A video demonstration of the installation, features, setup and compatibility of the M.O.S.T  HUR MB V2 may be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXhOBiDav8.
