Hi, I have bad news. New DVD based Comand and new bluetooth after june or july for europe (2004), this information come from a tech that was in germany for a course two weeks ago. For that reason I have just order a new SL500 that will be in january, with cd comand. I have some informations about DVD based comand that doesn´t work fine.
Regards

I heard something similiar; it doesnt look like the DVD based Navigation will be available on the SL in the US until ATLEAST the release of the 2005 model. As for the bluetooth, there is no guarantee that it will make it onto the car at the same time as the Nav release.
