Former 06 E320CDI owner here and I was looking to get back into a MB diesel. We recently sold my wifes 2008 Escalade ESV and the wife really likes the GL so I was thinking about the 2013-2014 diesel models. She is kinda a snob with remote start and I was wondering if the 13 or 14's came with remote start?

Also, Any bits of information you can help me on my search for a new truck for her. The only option I require is the 4matic, everything else is icing on the cake.


Thanks!!!

I believe only 15 or 16 and newer:

Aftermarket, get this one:

Awesome tks.


So any other must have options to get or stay away from? I know there are like 3 packages on these trucks, is there anywhere a list of what is in each package?

i drove a GL550 with no active curve. I was perfectly fine and had no issues.

I bought a GL63 with active curve - I will not buy another MB without active curve.

I might also be a rare opinion, but I love my Bang & Olufsen sound system, and will also not get another MB without the upgraded sound. The HK is fine though.

GL-

Only the 2017 GLS comes with factory remote start.

Let's clarify a bit ... GLS come factory standard with SmartPhone Remote Start...

For earlier X166 - not a factory option - Mid-City Engineering makes a decent FOB-Remote-Start - and it is possible to add module to make FOB-Remote-Start for functional SmartPhone remote start.

Good info guys!

Looking to stay under $40k, and that seems to be a challenge. Ill wait it out and find something sooner or later..
