2008 E550 Questions

I have a couple questions about what comes standard on these cars with the P1 & Sports pkg.

Bluetooth for phone?
IPOD hook up?

Can you add a trunk closer aftermarket?

Thanks.

you'll need to buy the bluetooth adapter. It plugs into a thing in the back of your center console. There is a cover on it that pops off and you plug the adapter into it.

Works great by the way. It's one of my favorite features.

Here is the part.

They had a bunch of them in stock at my local dealership. Was about $500

you have to have either the 01 or 02 option package on your car. So you should be good to go with that part #.

Don't know about the other items though. I think the p01 package has the ipod hookup in the glovebox but not sure. I have the 02 package and just have an aux plug in my glovebox but without an official ipod plugin.

Just wait for one with P2, it will probably have the trunk closer. Why would you want a stripped down E class?

Because I can pick up and 07 for $36k. There is a 08 available for about $49k with all the goodies and the AMG wheel as part of the Sport Package. Just having a hard time justifying 13k more.
