New CL55 AMG owner here
I thought I'd introduce myself.
Bought a used 2003 CL55 AMG in pretty nice condition the other day, my first Merc.
Previously I restored a Maserati Quattrporte, much older and different technology than this car. Fantastic engine. Weber carbs. Wow.
There are a few things needing done on the CL55, but the dealer has promised to take care of the list we made together, so I'm looking forward to at least a few months of care-free driving.
The car has even more power than my last one, which is a nice bonus. She really flies on the highway!
I just downloaded the owners manual and will slog through the 300+ pages before starting on the 200+ page "Command Center" manual.
Since there doesn't seem to be any USB port installed from the factory (much too early for that), I'll get a lighter adapter. I was hoping to get my iPhone connected somehow, and found a few online guides. My car has the "Tel" button, but I don't see any UHI connector in the center console storage, neither top or bottom portion. Are there other ways to connect a modern phone to the system?
Looking forward to learning more about this car.
