Question Now that I've ordered my new MY14 ML350
This forum has been an invaluable resource during my research of the ML350. Now that I've placed my order, I am in need of some post-order information.

What are the milestones and timeline between now and when my ML is delivered to the dealer (i.e. build date in x days, ship date in y days, etc)?

2nd day of production VIN# is assigned - that is 1st milestone - then 2-3 days later system will show it turned over to VPC - VPC options are installed there - then next milestone is VPC release to carrier - then your dealer can give you approx "delivery time" from relase to carrier to when they can reasonably expect it to arrive - plan ONE FULL DAY at the dealership for prep - anything less than that the dealer is quite likely sloppy

Tract my MY14 ML350
Does anyone know if there is a capability to tract your vehicle. I ordered MY14 ML 350 4Matic on June 19, 2013 with an estimated delivery date or early August. I would like to tract my vehicle if it is possible? Any suggestions?

I also ordered in June. I was told my vehicle is on rail as of August 1st, which is a full 3 week earlier than my dealer prepared me to expect! YAY! He said 10 days max from time it hit rail.

Does anyone know....does the MY14 ML350 have iOS in the car built in?

Hi all.

Ordered mine in mid June (2014 BlueTec), picking it up today from the dealership.... I was surprised how quickly it's being delivered!
