Thanks Jack.

Nevada Jack, on your vehicle settings menu, when you display the list of features, do you have to scroll down to see the trunk opening height setting? It looks like there are only 9 lines of text, but there are 10 avaliable things to list.

Thanks.

Incredible pic, Jack. You're a gifted photographer.

I'll leave the COMAND issues to you W221 owners to resolve. ;-)

Nevada Jack--Just to let you know, people have been drooling over your "ambiance" picture at ClubLexus. Someone found the pic and posted it in their little official S-Class thread.

Wow. As happy as I am with my R, I am really envious of the new S550. Great pix. Oh, well, maybe next year -- LOL.

Jack: That is an amazing photo!

But I have to ask: Do you keep that car in your living room?

LOL, that's what I thought at first.

But I think his garage is just decorated nicely to look like that....

(either that, or they had to sell all but the garage to buy the S550)... ;-P

Just wanted to update you on our "missing" ambient lighting setting. The dealer recoded or updated the COMAND and it should be there now. I'll take a look next time I drive the car.
Thanks again for all your help.
