Care to share any differences? is there more functionality or primarily just a larger screen?

I'm kicking around getting a diesel ML, but am curious what they changed with the new screen/COMAND controller.

The other visual changes to me on the facelift don't justify going for the GLE, so i'm just trying to close the last loop in my mind with regards to the new COMAND.

Thanks in advance,

Aceman

Sure - go see a GLE and close your loop.. since the 16 COMAND is a entirely different visual presentation..

Thanks for your answer - very helpful...was planning on doing it later this week just figured i'd get some info prior to. There is a lot to digest so assumed if someone had spent a considerable amount of time with both units it would be helpful.

Regards,

If you have expereince with 2015-prior COMAND/ML - best to put that expereince behind and use fresh "eyes" to adapt more smoothly to 2016+ COMAND/GLE

Will certainly be a learning curve in adjusting to the new system. Had it in a W205 C300 loaner, takes a lil bit to get to know where everything is at. Getting back into my car, you almost appreciate the simplicity of the older COMAND. Although, you can't beat the graphics of the nav and album art in the new one.
