Is the Audio 20 working? and is it a w208?
I replaced an Audio 20 with an Audio 50 in my W203 C-class (facelift) simply because I got hold of an Audio 50 for a good price......it has quite basic naviagtion features and slightly upgraded audio features. Navigation is by arrows and is not map based.
If you can afford it, Comand is undoubtably better as it has map based navigation but if you, like me, only make very occassional use of sat-nav, then the audio 50 does the job.

I have audio 30 (v similar to 50) and i think its good enough... it tells you where to go just like a tomtom...

No, but its the only one for sale on ebay!....just a guess!!
Audio 50 works for me...it tells me where to go and gets me there! Not as good as Comand or Tomtom, but is fully integrated and accurate....its really comand without the maps and certain features. Comand fitted would be twice the price (at least) or you could get a unit from Lithuania but it would still cost quite a bit more that the total fitted price of the Audio 50...

I'm gonna go for it , The integration part is one of the big influenecs and i'm not fussed about looking at maps , I mean you gotta look at the road in front of you right !!! And I think it's a very good price .
So next question is does anyone want an AUDIO 20 out of my W209 in used but mintola conditon ....offers.....anyone ?

I would have if it was for a W208......
Just be aware that it will only get you to the correct street, not house number, and that it does not have post code recognition..... TMC works ok though.

Just being devils advocate here, but, will you be totally satisfied with APS 50 knowing that you could have fitted a Comand APS?
I must admit, I would prefer Comand but I got my Audio 50 for a good price and it does the job to sufficient accuracy for me. My wifes car has Comand and, to be quite honest, I find I very rarely refer to the map, just the arrows on the dashboard display!!
