GL550 "OK" Button on Comand Inoperable
Just got a 2008 GL550 and the "ok" button on the head unit does not seem to work. I don't think it is user error. as I can use it fine on my CLS. Has anyone seen this? Kind of renders the NAV useless.

Please repost on the X164 forum - sorry the forum section titles are a bit confusing - the X166 forum here is for the new generation GL starting model year 2013 - the X164 forum covers your model.
That said - if your 2008 GL550 is under Mercedes Certified Pre-Owned Warranty - it is notable that the Mercedes CPO warranty covers the infotainment system and will repair this for you no charge - unlike several other luxury brands - like BMW - where their Certified Pre-Owned warranty - unlike Mercedes - does NOT cover infotainment electronics.
If not under warranty - buy a can of MAF cleaner spray - protect surrounding area with a cloth - use the spray tube and spray in there as best you can while pushing the button in and out... it's worht a try - keep clear of the LCD screen..

Just curious, but is MAF Cleaner Mass Air Flow Cleaner? What is the theory behind using it on electrical components?
thx
