Good news, Bad news
Finally got the car...........sat with the dealer and went over everything..all seemed well. Left the Showroom for home and the Comand unit didn't work. Just the MB Logo comes up, therefore no Nav, no Audio, nothing. Got home and contacted the dealer...he said some kind of fuse problem, call MB or come in tomorrow(they were now closed). Called MB assistance and they could not do anything for me..take it back to the dealer routine. Then noticed that the Parktronic wasn't working!!!!!now feeling sick. Also can't open the section which swings open to reveal the 6 CD Changer 
And yet these things all worked when the dealer was going over everything..except he couldn't get communication with the Onstar(or in this case MB control center)..it was inaudible, in other words the woman at the other end kept breaking up and I said I would do this myself later....
So all in all, wondering what type of mistake I may have made....kept hearing about MB unreliability and I haven't even done 25 miles!!! Oh boy. Appreciate your comments.......

branmin,
Sorry to hear that. If you are talking about just 1 thing is not working I can see it maybe a problem. But just too many thing not working at the same time and less than 25 miles I think it has to do with fuse or something... I agree just drive down 1st thing tomorrow morning and ask them a equivalent loaner car until they give your car back to you.
I'm a 2K miles no problem happy CLS owner.
Thanks,

I've had problems with the audio phone system going haywire in hot temps. The whole thing needs to to be reprogramed by the dealer. So much of this is software driven and some dealerships don't understand how to fix the problem.

Got the Comand/audio/Nav fixed the next day after I brought the car ..now having it in tomorrow for a software update on my Logic7 that keeps crapping out producing poor audio. Car just over one week old and now on it's 2nd service trip..............this is the one thing that worried me buying a MB, just heard of so many people having technical problems from new. So I hope this will be the last trip for some time..we shall see....apart from that, I am getting used to the car's features and enjoying it.
