Thanks so much! I have a question! The 2000 ML came with a hf unit but the phone is a stac analog. I know it's really old..does anyone even activate analog phones anymore? Would love to be able to use the nice feature.

If not, I bought the Starmark extended warranty, if I wanted to get that bluetooth handsfree installed into the car, will it affect the warranty?

Thanks!

it wont effect the warranty unless it is the direct cause of some issues,,, which it wont be.

Ali --i'm at my second ML and one of the reason i bought another one is that with my '98 i was making 22/23 MPG on highway and i'm talking 101 :-( and 18/19 downtown.
In between those two cars, i got an 04' Sienna XLE and can't pass the 19 MPG!
Hope this helps to put things into perspective.
Congrat on your new ML!

No user error. These are heavy vehicles to push around. You should get 16-20 depending on the kind of driving you do. They eat brake pads and rotors too so have your service dept. keep an eye on them so you don't run into some expensive repairs! Notwithstanding the above, you will LOVE your truck! Enjoy!
