New GLE450 Coupe - few questions

Just took delivery last night, few things:

1) got a beige interior (leather), had one in our previous GL450 and over time denim color seeped into the leather on the driver seat. any way to protect from this?

2) can you use CarPlay wirelessly? (CarPlay is a capable, but is the car)

3) has anyone found aftermarket roof rack bars that work?

1. I've read that others had an easy way to clean it. Maybe search the threads.
2. Nope! (Kind of stinks)
3. Can't help you here since I have the SUV and I ended up buying from MB since no one else would guarantee a fit. But I will say the aftermarket ones are newer and easier to work than the ones I got from MB after I compared them to what MB sent me.
Good luck

And another thing, we don't believe you got a new MB till you justify it will pictures.

1) Denim dye transfer is a good reason to buy a dealer installed "interior protection package" - MB or Permaplate

2) CarPlay hard wire only - suggest a "flat" 3ft USB-Lightning cable

3) I have only seen the OE bars so far

This Amazon review of that cleaner frankly is not promising...

Surprising. I just look on the auto detailing sites and that was one of the recommended ones.

Meguiars leather cleaner wipes worked well on my leather seats to get the Polo jeans dye off. Note to self: don't buy that style of jeans again.
