New member here, few quick questions about the CLS models

What's up fellas...

Coming over from the 300cforums.com

I currently have a Chrysler 300c, and this is my last year with the car... it's been 6 years, and I can say its been a great car.. mainly because Mercedes was involved with the build.

I grew up my entire life with my family owning Mercedes so it's time for me to make the switch.

I think the CLS is one of the most beautiful cars Benz has ever made.

I am currently in the market for a 2008-2009 CLS550 with less than 25k miles...

Well enough of all that.

Quick Questions.

1. Wood Grain Steering Wheel...

I notice in about 30% of the cars for sale, they have the wood grain steering wheel and not the 100% leather wrapped.

I really want the wood grain steering wheel.

I am assuming that it is a package..

So..

A) What package is it?

B) If I find a better deal, without the steering wheel, do aftermarket steering wheels exist, and if so how much?

And, how hard would it be to switch it?

2. I noticed that some of the cars have bluetooth.. I am also guessing this is a different package... so...

A) What package is that? What does it include?

B) Is the bluetooth only for Calling, or does it support audio play through a bluetooth device?

3. I read that in 2009, they updated the navigation system a bit from 2008, but wasn't able to find any details on exactly what... could anyone fill in the blanks?

Thanks guys!

LOL Naw it's just dead
Got to Mecedes Website and look under the model you're looking for. I cannot remember where it is but it will have all options for the model year you're asking.

Start your search/comparison by checking marketing brochures http://www.ragtop.org/mbbrochures/

Alright well I found the answer for the steering wheel.. apparently that is its own package... steering wheel and shifter woodgrain.

Thanks for the brochure link.

Anyone know the answers #2 and #3
