Mercedes Illuminated star and Special Order Option U09 Upholstery Wrapped Dashboard

Came upon this today while on youtube!




Just found out that another option was added to the GL not found on the MB website!

Jesse Cannon Wallace - Atlanta Classic Cars: There are a few special order options for our SUVs that do not show up on the Mercedes-Benz website. Lately I have had a lot of questions about the Upholstery Wrapped Dashboard (code U09) that is available for the ML-Class and GL-Class. It is a $330 option, plus the special order charge of $250. It adds stitched MB-Tex to the dashboard and door panels. I have included pictures of a 2013 ML550 with this option and the special order option H09 – Brown Satin Ash Wood Trim. Thanks for sharing Lloyd!

Again, all option codes for GL350/450/550 USA

Yes, the illuminated star is aftermarket, and not a MB option now or ever.

Atlanta - over presenting charm, underpresenting facts.

Actually, there is a flat $250 charge for any SPC options, can be one or 10 - one $250 flat fee.

See attached for full option code listing for GL350/450/550 - again.

Yeah I figured that our luckily on the SPC $250, makes sense I guess. Is there something else different about the wrapped dash option or am I missing something?

Wrapped adds substantial value look and feel for the price..augments a wood/leather wheel for a very elegant cabin look/feel..

I think the Dash on the Canadian vehicles come with the sticking.... not 100% sure but I know my 08 had the stitching for sure.

MY 08 and my current 11 have stitching on the UPPER part of the dash....the option aspect is the LOWER part of the dash.
