I've debated on getting a 'new car' recently. Test drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee which was nice but I wasn't sure.
Test drove a ML350 today & put a deposit on it. :)
Question .... do I need to keep the HPF blue tooth wotsit from my R Class? Apparently there's a 'UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (UCI)' in the ML :confused:

I’m liking that... nice colour don’t see many in that
Is the R getting traded or sold privately ?
If traded just keep the HPF you can always sell it?
You might not need it depending on the MLS year

I did comment that I thought that all Mercs were either black or silver :D
I'm trading it in at the dealers & was already going to take it out .... just wondered if it was needed on the ML as there was nothing in the arm rest. :confused:

Nice to see one not in black and that will look great all polished up when the sun hits it.
Are your front side windows tinted as well?

Good choice Andy. Has it a factory towbar? If it has Comand it should connect via Bluetooth for phone. Use Linguatronic to make calls.
Lovely colour too.

I don't know if you're a DIY-er, but when I have researched parts for my W164, ALL parts for the W166 were miles cheaper!

Perverse but true. It could even end up being cheaper to run.....

Now, THAT's green.

It does have :) ..... I'll have to wait to find out if it's all wired up. Apparently Germans have a habit of just wiring up the lighting side of the 13 pins

If it has Comand it should connect via Bluetooth for phone. Use Linguatronic to make calls.

It has, I thought it might go via COMAND :geek:
