Currently researching with a view to buying this. Have two other makes/models on the shortlist (BMW 328xi and Lexus ES350), but it looks like the Mercedes is the winner for me by a very short lead.
Question 1: I want a built-in Nav system. The old suction cup on the windshield has got to go. Unlike the BMW, where you can get the Nav system as a single option, with the mercedes, it appears that to get one, you have to get the Multimedia Package, which includes the 6-disk CD/DVD changer that I'm not interested in. I am getting the iPod Kit installed, and I have no interest in CDs. Is there any way to get the items priced separately, or do you have to get an all or nothing package?
Question 2: It says that the car comes standard with Bluetooth connectivity. My Razr phone is one of the compatible phones. Do I have to do anything else, or does the Bluetooth system simply connect to my phone, which will then allow me to make hands-free calls? How about charging the phne. Do I have to plug in my own connector into the car's power outlet?
