New GL450 got questions
I would ask these questions to my dealer but the only thing he could show me was the heated seats. The rest he didn't know much if anything about!
With the sirius radio is there a way to make it always show the "info" without having to push the button?
When the lights are on auto can you not use the fog lights?
With the dual screen DVD is there any other way to operate it without using the remote?
Thanks and I am sure I will have more questions. This is by far the best car I have ever driven or owned (leased technically). I am really impressed and the short test drive just didn't do it justice.
Thanks!
Neil

No on the Sirius...have to push the info button.
Auto lights have no fogs. Have to turn the light switch to another setting and pull it out a notch or two.
The dual dvd has an on/off, contrast levels, and volume controls for the headset. Have to use the remote for the other functions.
I've had mine for a little over a month now and still go to the manual as questions come up.

Fogs are for use when there is fog or snow. Any other time, you're simply a poseur.

Here's a Sirius hint that I found when I bought my GL about 4 months ago.
I activated my account with Sirius since this is my 2nd car to have it. When I called I told them I get 6 months free with the vehicle, but wondered if they had any incentives for purchasing at the time of activation.
The gentleman on the phone checked, it was complicated since it was my second receiver, but the net is I prepaid upon activation to get 18 months of service and it cost me $5 - that's right, not $5 per month but $5 for an extra year.
Apparantly the deal they had going was you can prepurchase a year upon activation and you a discount. When they applied that discount in my case with it being the 2nd receiver it ended up almost free.
I'm not sure if they've figured it out yet, but it's worth a try.
