Morning all,

I've been lurking on the forum since contemplating purchasing a Mercedes.
Thought I should say hello as I've now taken the plunge.

The car is an SLK350 auto in silver, red leather (bit strong for me but wife loves the look of it), with COMAND, parktronic, harmon kardon upgrade, airscarf, telephone pre-wiring and various other options. The car is just over 3 years old on a 54 plate and we're hoping to collect it on Friday, although it inolves a train journey from Glasgow to deepest Lincolnshire !!

The COMAND system looks a bit complex for my simple brain to work out but hopefully you'll all tell me it's easy in practice !!

With the phone pre-wiring (excuse my ignorance) what do I need to do to have hands free operation (working through the Comand pesumably) ? I haven't actually seen the car so I don't know if there is a cradle with it. Any advice welcome.

Thanks

peter

Hi & Welcome,

The comand can be a little confusing to start with however once you play with it for awhile it becomes intuitive (or at least I found it to be).
Nice spec and a nice car.
As for the phone you will need the relevant cradle or bluetooth adaptor.

Hello Peter and welcome to the forum, do make sure that you get the hand books for the Comand or they cost £18 from MB


Pleased that you like the car, they are nice

Thanks for the replies.

I didn't realise there was a separate handbook for the Comand. I'll ask the selling dealer to check and confirm before I pick the car up.

welcome, if your based in Glasgow we have a GTG in Braehead on the 9th May on the other place. Another fella has one and turned up to the GTG and its a very nice car. Lovely roar too. You'll love it and its worth the trip.
