Dad's new S550 - few loose ends

My Dad just got his S550 last week - sure makes my S55 look like a dinosaur. He has really poor phone reception in the car - any ideas about a solution other than the integrated phone?

Also - are there lighted door sills available yet.

Can't wait to get rid of my S55 now for the new CL ....

Thanks in advance

That pic floating around is just a photoshop, nothing official so I wouldn't say that just yet.

worst thing is that everything looks dated now compared to the new S-class. The SL is too small for me - I need a back seat for my 2 month old's car seat.

If you have kid, take a four door, you'd understand that when it's pouring. I had a W140c before. It's a pain to put a carseat in and out.

Thanks for the reply about the phone - I saw that site and I am somewhat confused about what I need - do I need the "MHI Bluetooth Interface Module" and a blue tooth phone or just a phone with blue tooth....or do I need one of those phones specificaly on the site and it plugs into the car.

Thanks in advance
