Has anyone out there put 20 or 22 inch rims/tires on their GL? If so, did it make the ride noticeably rougher or did it change the handling in the curves? |

My wife has a new GL, but we're having trouble getting the her bluetooth phone to work properly with the integrated phone services. We have the bluetooth adapter, and a phone that's listed as "fully compatible" on the website our dealer gave us. Although we can make calls using the number pad on the dashboard (and receive calls), the address book, last number called, last call received, and other integrated features are "greyed-out." Any ideas? Alternatively, if there's a better place to ask this question, I'll gladly receive the advise. Thanks

Replying to: tidester (Aug 09, 2006 9:00 pm) While driving the wife's GL down a somewhat narrow street, I had an oncoming car that was too close to the center of the road. I moved over to the right as we passed and accidentally clipped the side mirror of a parked Ford F250 pickup truck. We exchanged numbers, and got our repairs completed, since we each had a broken side mirror. What's the scary part? The cost of repairing my neighbor's new 2007 F250? $48.65 The cost of repairing the GL? $1,000. $860 in parts (yes, for the passenger side mirror) and $150 in labor. The GL is awesome, but man, it makes Porsches look economical to repair

Replying to: rickc1 (Mar 26, 2007 2:25 pm) For future reference, I once attended a state trooper's defensive driving presentation at work. Something I learned was what to do should you ever come upon a situation such as you did (street to narrow for two cars to safely pass each other). His advice was to pull over as far as you can and STOP your vehicle. Let the other driver proceed. His reasoning was that should the vehicles have contact, the moving vehicle receives any citation and the responsibility. |

| Does anyone know how the ipod integration works? We got one and all we can do is plug in the ipod in the glove box. Nothing on the display shows up and you can't operate the controls on the ipod while it is plugged in. All I seem to be able to do is control the volume. Am I missing something? | |
Noticed someone else posted this problem earlier....We bought new GL last week...driven appx. 100 miles and brakes are making noise. Took back to MB dealer today, they said it needs new brake pads (?!)  What's the deal??? Any feedback appreciated.
