| a bit slow here....
Hello everybody,
this forum seems to be a bit slow?
It must be this kind of a cool car - nobody has time to sit on the keyboard and is out driving the E-class.
I just have purchased a georgous 2006 E-wagon which might pushes the G-wagen just into a drive way corner..... 
It will be delivered today and I plan to go on a 2k mile trip Sunday to get used to the new set of wheels......can't wait

It is a 11/2005 I think, sold in 2/2006 and has lots of stuff in it. For sure there is a nav, heated seats and a power rear door.......it might be now just hrs away!
Do you have a list of ' all the Goodies' which makes it a real nice one? I then can just mark 'em off, item by item.......but I'm happy and excited anyhow.
I used to have a 300TE a few years back, it would take/carry a nice size fridge and even let you close the rear door.
Hopefully I can post some pics later on today.

Whooooa..............your baby is loaded!
I hardly found any of those things in mine  Maybe I should only drive it after dark........
The car came in very late last night and for the morning pictures is was raining a bit - so even this goodie-less car would not go out into the harsh weather (SoCal)

What you mean with the 'Last Sat'? I thought next week there is another coming.......
I'm leaving tomorrow for the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains and need to burn some Mp3's for the trip - what are my options to have my bluetooth phone working with the command display, Sat-radio and/or ipod interface? Those are the most important items ffor me, all the other stuff which came with the car are just fine for me.
Really apreciate any help and/or input

Yes..It was the Last Sat at The Cove...Don Bren Closed it down...Damm Irvine Co!!!
we took the smarts..lol Cab and crossblade
One can add The OE MB I Pod kit...Several Hours to Install But it works with all the controls on the steering wheel..Nice!
Blue tooth requires a New PSE mod and Puc in the cradle...But I have it and Use the Razr and It is Great!
Then You Will want..The Hands Free Voice control system...it is a LAW next year no more loose cell phones stuck ones ear..about time!!
Steve @www.MBENZNL.com can get all the goodies AND install them if needed ...Prices a LOT better than the stealership |

Thanks for the info, isn't bluetooth alone fine without the voice rec system? If can point to the tel# with the command screen and the phone dials out - perfect! It would otherwise not recognize my non-schwabian pronouncation anyhow
I-pod with full integration is a must - right now only 99 tracks are accepted on my mp3's.
I'll give Steve a call and find out how long the waiting line is - seems like he like to work on new cars......
Asian ML: thanks, aren't all the woods the same? For the bare bottom model 211? |

Must be the lighting or whatnot. Isn't the standard wood Burl Walnut or something like that?
What color wood is yours? |

Thanks again for your help,
I contacted MBENZNL already and just have to make up my mind, is the voice control system not part of the phone system? It should be hands free anyhow, right? I think I'll opt for the bluetooth setup instead of a cradle based phone....

The Voice Control System Works with the CD Changer/Comand-Nav./radio/and the phone..it is Very Nice to have..also since the New law (Next Year) That NO Longer allows hand held phones...So The VA kit is a Must!
The Blue tooth Puc is installed in the Phone cradle @ the center console
Good Luck With The Mods!

My local MB Dealer was so kind to decode my VIN and under code 731 it shows 'Wurzelnuss' as wood type.... |
