New ML
I just bought a new ML500. Are there any vehicle break-in issues that I should be aware beyond what is identified in the large owner’s library?
Also, does anyone have information on the installation of a multi CD changer? I understand the optical fiber makes this a challenge …

The FSS should tell you how many miles left before you need to get an oil change. Usually thats about 10,000 miles to 13,000 miles depending on how you drive. You should just drive normally when breaking in your car, just avoid hard out acceleration.

My ML was prewired for the cd changer...it went into the right side rear compartment. Just get the correct MB model to be compatible with the dash unit. You might need to get the car's computer programmed to play correctly...but it only takes a couple of minutes. Some of the site sponsors sell the OE changers for a good price. Congratulations.
