I've got a 2003 SL55 and I found the jack in the glove box but I still can't get it to work. I read that you acess the AUX though the command but I cannot find that function. Any suggestions? what am I missing?

LOL! Don't even compare HK from an E Class to BOSE. Give me a BREAK! The top of the line Benzs have BOSE (SL, SLR, Maybach). Come on now. All because you can't figure out how to properly hook up an ipod doesn't mean the system is garbage. Learn to use the EQ on the ipod and sync it will the treble and bass on the BOSE AUX system. My car BUMPS like I have a system. Everyone thinks I do, but you have to know what you are doing, BOSE isn't for noobs. LOL

I am not much of a music afficionado but I even feel the BOSE in the SL is pretty lousy for a 100K car. The Q7 does have a better sound system but remember, the Q7 is a 2007 model, maybe BOSE has improved since then. I upgraded my SL sound to Reus and it sounds 100X better. What a difference a new amp, sub, and satellite speakers make!

Have any of you considered that ANY convertible is going to have issues with it's sound system since it has a top that may or may not be there? Hard top cars use the interior roof to bounce sound. How are they supposed to do that when the top isn't there?
Those of you who have "flawless" replacement sound systems in your cars have just added a sh*tload of power to force sound.
This is my fourth convertible and regardless of maker, none have had great sound - yet every hardtop I've had has had significantly better sound. Wonder what the difference was??
