Migrating from Ford Sync to Comand/Linguatronic in GLK 250

Greetings!

I'm a soon-to-be-first-time MB owner in Montreal, signing up for a GLK 250 next week. My past couple of vehicles have been Fords, and I've grown quite fond of Sync for music playback (USB key, Sirius, radio). I know that I will be giving up some features when switching to COMAND/Linguatronic, but despite much reading I have not been able to determine if there is an equivalent for the following Sync voice commands when playing music from either a USB key, SD card, or internal HDD in the GLK:

1) "Play Track Welcome to the Jungle" - expected result is the immediate playback of the song, or a voice prompt providing multiple choices if it did not find an exact match.

2) "Search Artist The Cure" - expected result is a list of albums from that artist displayed on the screen, or a voice prompt providing multiple choices if it did not find an exact match.

3) "Play Album The Wall" - expected result is the immediate playback of the album, or a voice prompt providing multiple choices if it did not find an exact match.

4) "Play All" - reshuffle and start immediate playback of all music on USB key/SD card.

Experiments during my test drive were inconclusive; the dealer is not much help; and I haven't found the voice command reference manuals from MB... I'd therefore greatly appreciate any testing/feedback you all can provide :-)

Thanks!

I think you'll find the voice control commands of the GLK quite limited compared with what you have. Check the Voice Control chapter of the COMAND Operator's Manual: http://www.mercupgrades.com/manuals/...Y10-manual.pdf
