3rd Day - First 'gremlin' appears!
My 3rd day in a new '11 350 BlueTEC and I am seeing my first gremlin!
Heck, the odo is still in two digits!
My radio/nav/backup camera, etc are not working.
It is frozen and is showing only the time. None of the buttons work - back, mute, etc. Radio is stuck on one Sirius radio station. cannot change stations, etc.
Taking it to the dealer today. Will keep you posted.

I know this is a dumb question, but have you tried just turning it off and then back on. Oddly, my 09 (which has the same unit) would freeze every now and then when my GL was newer. Typically it seemed related to using my Droid telephone via the Bluetooth connection. Turning it off and then back on would always fix it. Now it seems pretty stable and I can't remember the last time I had a problem.

Update: Turning radio off and on didnt fix it. I also started the car after parking it for a couple of hours. Nope.
But then, I started the car the second time (after a gap of 1 hour) and everything works!
That was weird... but I am going to the dealer and getting everything updated (software or whatever needs to be updated).
Hope that was the last gremlin and none are lurking somewhere inside (fingers crossed)

Our GL350 was delivered to us with a non-functioning back up camera. I was pissed. First two days in the shop. 3 weeks later all is fine.
