Subs and Amp Input

Hello All,

Just picked up my new 2013 E350 a few days ago. The Logic 7 system sounds pretty decent for me and I am happy with it overall. However, I would like to add a sub in the trunk. I had looked around online quite a bit to see if the Head Unit from Mercedes on these vehicles have auxiliary / sub inputs or do I have to change my entire head unit?

I leased the car and depending on how much I like it, I may turn it back in after a year and get a new one with all the options I would like on it. It is my first Benz and with so many nice models to choose from, I decided to lease and see what happens after a year. With that said, I don't want to go all out on a sound system but adding a sub and amp would be easy enough to pull out later and transfer once I finance a new one.

Thanks

Yes it came from the factory like that but it's not a black roof. It's the Panorama Roof (All Glass)...it's very nice

Thanks! I got the sport options with the 18" AMG, navi, backup camera, walnut MB-Tex with black contrast carpet. Yep, that was me asking about the lighting upgrade. We could not find one in my region with the Bi-Xenon headlights or keyless-go So, I was pretty stumped about that. However, it's just a lease and I am loving it more and more every day. I think I am going to save a little cash for the next year or two and terminate the lease for an E63

I figured I could feel out an E350 on a lease since it is my first E350 and if I enjoy, then finance the one I really want. I must say that it's only been a week and I am in love.

On another note, my wife loves her C250. I must admit, I do like the way her C250 handles too and though it's only a 1.8T, it moves very well. Either way, I am happy about our choices. I read so many reviews about people being unhappy with their C250 but hey, everyone has their preference. I am confident that if I would have stayed with mine after the first week, I would have been happy. The only reason why I returned it after 2 days was because it didn't make sense for my wife and I to have two of the same cars. She really loved my C250 and wanted one so I took mine back, got her in a new one, and got myself the E350. Haven't looked back since

Nice cars, you must be loving white shade colors lol

1.8 liter biturbo not to be sneezed at all, I have looked the tech specs for upcoming the W176 A250 , it hits 0-100 km/h in 6.6 secs , same specs as you can get E350 4 MATIC
I honestly considered of buying W204 C250 too, but once I saw W212s in person I said Oh my word , that should be my car lol

I know what you mean!!! This is my first MB as well and I love this car more every day I drive it. It rides and drives like a dream. My wife has a q5 and that is about to get traded in for a GLK. Can't wait to have another MB in the garage

The GLK is very, very nice. Let me know when that trade happens and see how it compares to the E350. I know, two different cars but interested to know what your preferences are on either. My wife may eventually get one in the future once her lease is up on her C250, even though she lovers her C250
