Great to hear. When you get it make sure to post lots of pictures!


Mine is on a ship arriving August 30th into Baltimore--I am glad they finally have released the '16s for sale.

I have dealer hard wiring to fuse block. I don't like dangling cord with cigarette lighter plug

Where is the wire routed? Is it between the windshield and top of dashboard?

Looks like my S63 took a hit from sitting at VPC for a month in Baltimore. There are bird droppings that etched the paint on the hood. The exterior carbon fiber trim on rocker panels are stained from runoff. Might have to walk away from this one.
