I like the look of that leather color. Somehow seems very suitable for an SUV. Once the kids are older will make the switch I think and be able to enjoy the vented seats as well.

Those pictures are the best I have seen of the auburn brown color! Some earlier pictures had a more "pinkish" tone....yuck! But these are great and the color has a very "rich" "leathery" look!

Where did you get the 739 order code ?
Aluminum trim is not a option for the X166 - any model - at least for the US - of course the Canadians always claim they have something different !
Keep the beat !

The model specific pdf's are the actual model config tool for each specific model - and the "bible" for that model at that time of order... sorry for any confusion

MB GL550
heated wood steering wheel
Does anybody know if a heated WOOD steering wheel is available for the GL550 as a special option? All other models get only a FULL LEATHER steering wheel if it is heated (option 443), but i heard that only on the GL550 it is possible to get the heated steering wheel in wood. The S class has the wood heated steering wheel as an option, so I do not know if this is possible for the GL550.
If it is possible, what is the option number and how should I instruct the dealers to include it in the order?
Thank you!

i too thought the same thing-
unfortunately on GL 550s theres is NO heated wood steering wheel option- i asked my dealer too, also on mbusa website the pictures clearly shows and the message clearly states- heating steering wheel will exclude wood leather steering wheel-
so for now- no such option - i love the heated wheel but still went with wood cuz it really makes a difference in cabin look, imho

Heated wood steering wheel on GL550
Thank you, guys! My dealer in NJ told me the same thing, but a dealer in Alabama told me that she built a ML550 with a heated WOOD steering wheel!
Fabbrisd1', you have been very generous with your advice as an insider, what do you think?
Thanks!

Wrong (but correct in your logic). The S/CL already offer a heated wood/ leather wheel. The heating element is only behind the leather and not in the wood. MB is just stubborn and will only offer the heated wood/ leather wheel on those two lines while all other lines get either a heated wheel or a wood wheel but not both.
