I like Carplay too. It's just what was needed and does it well. I wish for a few things though;

- smaller font, remove the child-like over-sized font
- allow additional apps to be used with Carplay, like Waze and others. Within reason of course because you don't want folks taking their eyes off the road.
- wireless connection

Surprised they dropped the Black Designo interior. I'd like to see more pics of the Espresso.

Me too. I had to upgrade to the GLS63 (poor me) in order to get black Exclusive Nappa leather. I just can't believe the GLS550 doesn't come with that as an option, like my 2014 GL550 has.

Maybe they'll add black for 2018??

I think they're leaving money on the table now by less people upgrading because they want black and are sticking with the standard seats.

Has Mercedes been known to add some options the second and third years?

I just think there is one thing missing in my gls 450 reverse cross traffic warning. I had it in my Range Rover. I think that's a important feature. Love the ACS.

Some people in other forum complain about the radar / distance alarm sound too small, hardly audible, any onwer here can shed some lights on this? and can it be tuned louder?
thanks

I just picked up our GLS550 and haven't have time yet to really experience Active Curve. What little bit I did try it seemed to keep the GLS from swaying through tight turns. I'll post more after I've had more time with it.

I've always found it to be quite loud, at least that has been my experience.
