Just got a CLS550 launch edition
I picked up a CLS550 launch edition yesterday
. I love it so far! After getting a C63 when my CLS55 lease was up a few years back I have been itching to get another CLS. The interior is definitely far superior to the last generation CLS (and even more so compared to my C63). It rides great as well. I do miss the exhaust note of my C63 though, so something will have to get done about that
. My only complaint is that the send2benz and remote unlock/lock on the mbrace iPhone application apparently don't work with this car. Tom Metz from Mercedes-Benz of Escondido was a big help and I'd highly reccomend him.

Beautiful car MercPlease and great photos and backdrop.
Regarding "remote unlock/lock on the mbrace iPhone application apparently don't work with this car" perhaps you signed up for the free 6 months trial of the basic mbrace when you bought the car. I was told that these Apps dont work with the basic mbrace and you have to instead sign up for the free 3 month mbrace Plus to get the App functionality. This was for a '12 CLS550 as well. Perhaps this is the problem?

Thank you! Hm, that could be it as I did get the trial when I was at the dealer, but I signed up for mbrace Plus shortly before I tried the mbrace app yesterday. I just tried the app again and it still say it doesnt work with my navigation system. Perhaps my car didn't come with the latest version? Also, if your CLS550 has the backup camera, does it have the guidelines on your backup camera? I remember test driving an S550 a while back and that the OEM backup camera had guidelines to help you backing up. Mine doesn't seem to have this.

MercPlease, No guidelines on the screen for the backup camera either. Seem to be on the larger MB vehicles. Have them on the GL but not an E-coupe nor the CLS550.

Great car. Nice mix of luxury and speed.

I believe the exterior is steel grey. Looks the same as the launch edition that I first drove and it was steel grey. I think this color scheme is unique to the launch edition and is not a regular CLS color combo, but not sure.

Here's another launch edition with multiple pictures at the dealer. As mentioned the exterior is steel grey with porcelain and black two tone interior. Also has unique design and darker colored wheels. Virtually all available options together in a single launch package of about $12K.

I was wondering the same. Perhaps there will be one soon.
Thanks! The interior seems to be the most popular part of it with people I meet (along with the LED head and taillights).

Do you have your adaptive high beam assist on? Mine is however, I haven't been anywhere that is super dark to have it kick it.
I was wondering how long the delay way when it senses the light from an oncoming car

I've used it before and it worked well. It sensed an oncoming car from a pretty far distance, I was expecting the car to be closer in order for it to be recognized. I'm not sure of the specific distance but it was at least 500 feet (this was on a straight road).
