Nubie w/ Glk 300
Hello from Brazil, and a few questions about a 2012 model:
1. Is there any OEM ipod interface kit for system 20 headunit stereo?
2. Anpyone experiencing som annoying rattle noise in the back/inside trunk area, worried if any suspensiono or body fitting ps can cause that? Tried and tested all possible loose itens and pannels, seat lashes, spare tyre etc...
3.is it plug and play an Amg steering wheel (chrome insert)?
4. Anyone knos if the larger Amg brake sets like c63's are direct bolt ons? Do I need everything or just F n R calipers?
5. In case no ipod unterface, is the "command" headunit's also adirect bolt on? How is its mapping update? Memory cards, usb, or disc?
Tks!

It seems that most are not responding, I will do my best.
1. I have a 2010 and there is a plug in the glove box. If the plug is in yours MB has a cable to plug into it. Note it is only available with the COMAND system.
2. There is a thread on the rattle from the rear of the vehicle Cannot tell you if this will help. Here is the Link
3. I cannot answer that.
4. C63 brakes and rotors are a different size.
5. Replacing the 5 inch with the 7 inch screen and head end unit is not an issue but it is a major undertaking and probably not worth it. Maps are easy to update but you need disks from MB or Navigation.com. There is a thread that shows an after market head unit that looks very nice but it is here in the US. The USB, iPod and media interface on the COMAND head end are nice. I have it but don't use it. I like the Navigation and the built in hard drive for my music.
Hope some of this helps.

2012 GLK rear rattle - still unsolved
Here is a link take a look at it. Head Unit. Watch the video it is very interesting. Pioneer makes some really nice units. It depends on how much you want to spend.

Local dealer did the job, and found that the right rear shock shaft is the cause, a slight mm side play, and rotated the shocks each side, and rattle is now barely noticeable - next step, replace them, and my next million dollar question is: is there any major difference between the shocks for a 350 (USDm) and a 300 (Brazil, like mine)? 2nd question , anyone using KYBs?
