Question about certain options.
I had ordered a GLC with a obsidian black exterior, black leather interior, linden wood trim, illuminated star, chrome door handle inserts, lighting package, panoramic sun roof, interior package, premium package, multimedia package, manual rear side window sunshades, burmester audio, locking wheel boats. It came out around $53k. I decided that I wanted it done differently after the build turned red so now my option is to eat the $1k deposit and re-order it. I have these questions:
Does the air balance package make the HVAC system unnecessarily complicated?
If it were to fail, would it render the HVAC system useless until it's fixed?
Do you think the active full led headlamps are a gimmick that'll break easily? I'd rather static full LED headlamps personally.
And for the last one, what do you guys think about the navigation system? I hear alot of criticism regarding it.
Thanks in advance!

The active LED headlights are fantastic, they are even better than xenon's.
MB have had active xenon's for many years which were considerably more mechanically complex combined with the high voltages xenon's required and proved to be a very reliable system, so it hard to imagine that there would be any LED headlight reliability issues.

I have the Air Balance and it's pretty much set once (Very Simple) and forget about it. It just does it's thing and my wife enjoys the fresh smell of the car. Not a mechanic so no idea of it's impact to the HVAC.
Also have the Active LEDs, had static in last car which were great, but these take the lighting to a whole new level. Would definitely want again.
Have navigation too, while nothing wrong with it, I think some features such as editing contacts could have been implemented better. Still a good system and definitely worth getting.

Curious which scent you like? Mine came with Fireside Mood which is OK but I like Downtown Mood the best...the other two are not good IMHO.

We're still using the Freeside Mood. I don't think she checked out the sample scents yet and hoping this one lasts a while before I need to buy more.
