All depends on usage (how loud you want to blast the stereo, etc). I'm not an audiophile but it sounds decent to me. The cabin is quiet on the road to begin with so it's easier to hear what's playing.

Now as to the quality of the mp3 that's playing to me makes the difference. Too much compression = loss of audio quality.

Really? This first time I heard anybody complain about too much bass. You can always turn that down no?

From TT to GLK. That's quite a switch.

Found this on C-Class forum should work for GLK if they use the same command system. I'd try but don't have car yet, can somebody confirm if this works on GLK?

The Bose system on an infiniti M45 has more bass than the HK but HK has better definition and clarity. Audio 20 has less clarity and murks mid and low range. Its ok if you are used to listening to mp3 with earphones. You can always retro fit with aftermarket speakers and amps if you don't like what you hear, no worries.

The problem is I use a Shure SC310 earphone for my ipod!! I am afraid I might find the Audio 20 on the GLK bad!!!

Has anybody tries this yet?
And another question, has anybody tried PCMCIA USB Adapter? So you can transfer music from a USB flash drive?

Crap. Maybe it's different combination of buttons to get to it? I just can't imagine this functionality to be gone, but you never know.
