Yeah, and the iPhone app is great! I can send addresses or contacts directly to the navigation from the iPhone. Also has Valet Protect, which tells you when your car is started, stopped or moved out of a "virtual fence" (0.5 or 1 mile radius from where you parked it).

Sadly no mBrace or even Teleaid for Canada for my 13 GLK. 
However, with iOS 6 that should be released for the iPhone this week you will be able to read or have Command read aloud your text messages!!! I have iOS6 and it works perfectly. Regardless of your phone the car will not send text messages. You need a iPhone 4S or 5 to verbally send a text using Siri.
As far as the address book goes it seems to load the entire address book of the currently linked phone! When my iPhone is selected my address book (for both phone numbers and addresses) is available, when we choose my wife's iPhine her entire address book shows up! She is very happy it automatically changes.

Yup and Apple did and is doing updates to support this as well. A big improvement from our 2010 C300 in this respect!! Still love to drive our C300 too, just not as fancy as our 13 GLK. Absolutely love the Distronic cruise control on the GLK!!!!!

I love the car. The only issue right now is that the POI database is not finding any Babies-R-US in New York But with MBrace2 on my iPhone, it's not an issue, since i can send an address to the Navigation from it. BTW, got it for $1700 below Invoice.

2013 GLK 350 purchased in 2018
Hi,
i very recently bought a vehicle looking almost like yours in Canada with around 30000 miles on it so it looks and feels new. Wonderful car!
I want new tires and am interested what yours came with - the rims look identical to mine: 20". Dunlop touring 235/45/20. Seeing a few options available but want to know from people who have tried them and hear what types of rubber worked best...... Almost look like continentals on yours?
im thinking of moving to 245's and again would like to hear from drivers not salespeople. Did you stick with run flats.
thanks and I assume by now you've got the newer version........

I will look at these tires
Thank you very much for the reply: much appreciated. If I may I just wanted to ask what size you endowed yours with: 235 or 245?
