Mine said it was for non running boards and I took a gamble and it happened to pay off.

Thank you both.

Was the install straightforward and easy? Any tips?

Media usb-c in center console

Congrats on your car.

I haven't received mine yet but already ordered some minor mods and changes.

- 3-step detailing due to (very likely) bad paint jobb. Never saw so much 'orange skin' as new GLE's.
- Zvizzer coat
- Workshop will add media USB-C in centre console instead of ash-tray area (How insane is that placement?)
- 21" OEM Multi-spoke winter wheels.
- Low-built Skiguard touring skibox
- Swisswax Autobahn on all rims.
- Rubber mat-set for winter use
- Might do a stage 1 tune to get 36 hp/80nm
- Ipads and holders ready for kids in rear seat. (Much cheaper and better than Merc screens)

Looking for something to protect driver/passanger seat from kids kicking their dirty boots into the seats...

What are you looking into doing?


did you have the media usb c added to center console? No idea the logic of the placement. If you have wireless charging, it’s redundant to have the media port right beside it. Regardless everything is way too cluttered. You mentioned a workshop did it. Was it your dealer?

For the door logo projector, does anyone know how many lights come in the OEM kit? Is it 2 or 4?

Has anyone purchased and received the "rear bumper protective cover" from AliExpress ? I want to put one on my 2021 GLE 450 and want to get the black one that is offered.
I'm wondering if it's just the stainless steel one that's offered, merely painted black.

How have you guys managed to pry out the original lights? I've cut myself and snapped a bit of the plastic on the light, and thing is still firmly stuck except for just the clear plastic cover

Using proper plastic pry tools as well, trying the top, bottom and sides, no dice

Nevermind! Managed to pry them out using a lot of force, snapped the originals and damaged the door trim, but it looks fine from outside 😅

The Panamericana grille like on the AMG models was added aftermarket.

Looks very nice! Who's springs did you use? I'm having hell finding anyone who has any suspension upgrades for the non-air USDM cars.

This is the first time I am hearing about this. What vehicle do you have? Have you had this performed? Does your phone get super hot? Does your vehicle have wireless carplay / android auto?
