steering wheel controls

does the 2003 ML have steering wheel controls like almost every other MB model did in 2002?

Thumbs down

The M class its the only one that doesn't come with that option. I have a ML500 2003 and its loaded and according to my Dealer that all M class doesn't have that, I guess thats why its made in Amerca. If you want one, think custom.

PS. M class doen't have that lasercut Infrared key also.

That was the most bittering thing when I got my ML. I went from a Dodge Duragno, which I loved, into the ML. The Durango had the steering wheel controls, but the ML doesn't. I wouldn't trade back though... you gotta love how you really have to try to lose traction around a corner.

Have the steering wheel controls in my 01 E320. Wish it did not have them. Always hitting a button when driving and changing something that I do not wish to change. Like the ML wheel the way it is!!!
