Congratulations!! I hope to be picking up my G550 shortly… Arabian Grey.. Also my first G Wagen.. It’s been at the Baltimore VPC for a week.. just a 3 hour drive from my dealer in NJ… No idea when it will be delivered..
Glad to hear you are so pleased with yours… I’m really looking forward to driving it…
Very nice. congratulations! First G? How is the highway ride? Do you mind sharing whether you paid ADM?
Yes first G Wagen.
Highway ride was very nice, did not feel like a big truck. 71 db at 80 MPH. I had it in comfort mode since it’s still in break in. Handled the bad parts of the road without jarring me. It has 19” wheels.

Congratulations! I have a 550 on order for October delivery! Looking forward to all of the "firsts" that you are experiencing.......Can you confirm the Android auto/Apple Carplay full screen?
CarPlay is full screen wired or wireless. Don’t have an Android phone. One cool thing is that if you are using the MBUX Nav (which is cool with the camera view integrated) you get a small CarPlay display at the bottom. So if you get a text you can just open it.

For what it’s worth, I use the OttoCast and wirelessly connect to my phone and it works perfectly full screen. Both Android and iPhone. Have had it for about a year now and no complaints. You can pick one up on Amazon.
One thing that surprised me of a car at this price point is that it has no data package included, so you can’t use the built in music apps like Tidal or Apple Music. No big deal I will just use CarPlay.

My GT3 didn’t come with any data package, I already have Apple Music. The best thing, they finally have wireless Apple Car Play.
Found my first design flaw. Not a big deal but if you use the 12V socket in the front it blocks one of the USB C ports.
How is the wireless charging? I was supposed to have it on my 21 and my 24 still doesn’t have it. That’s kind of strange that using the 12V port blocks one of the USB C ports. My 24 doesn’t have any USB C ports.
Wireless charging works fine if you don’t have a case on your phone, if you do it’s pretty bad. Since I have a case on my iPhone it does not help me. Also have found that wireless CarPlay is too buggy to use, keeps losing the connection. Hard wired CarPlay works great.
