2010 X164 550

Hello to all!

I'm a part time lurker over the past year or so who finally built the courage to register and start asking questions

First of all, awesome forums! I enjoy sifting through the wealth of information this site holds. Thanks to all who contribute and maintain the wealth.

After about a year and a half of picking through endless car classifieds and looking for what seemed like a unicorn in vast and densely foggy swamplands, I recently picked up a 2010 GL 550 with the on/offroad package. The car is being shipped to me and hopefully it will make it to its new home sometime next week. (CN Rail strike is bound to delay it at least some, I am sure.)

While the car is on its travels, I am preparing for the transition from the VAG ecosystem to MB's. This is my first MB. Looking forward to seeing the beauty (or the beast?!) in person.

So... off to ask my first Xentry diag system questions.

Hi and welcome!

Thank you for the introduction!

I moved your second thread from MB Tech to the X164 forum for help with your questions from fellow owners. Good luck!

Bob

Thanks Bob! I sort of thought it wasn't the right forum for it, definitely didn't think it would belong under the X164. learning curve is starting a climb.

Thanks for the welcome messages! Much appreciated! I have a shortage of pics of the car, but here are a couple I saved from the car ad.
