Because the car was traded with another dealer, not all of the manuals came with it. For example, the manual for the Command/CD player was missing. Mercedes' Internet site indicates the head unit is a six disc unit, but the brochure doesn't. I do not see how to insert more than one disc. Can anyone help? Is it only a single disc unit?
CD's take up too much room. I have over 650 of my favorite songs on one memory stick plugged in the center console.
Great color SL!
Agree that CDs take up too much room. I transferred my CDs years ago to iTunes and then divided the music between three classic iPods (I have a rather large CD collection). I was just curious to know if the car actually had a 6 disc in dash changer. Something tells me it doesn't.
But you're right, there are so many other ways to enjoy music, memory stick, SD card, internal hard drive, satellite radio, it would make one wonder why Mercedes would even put a CD changer in a 2017 car!
First of all, congratulations on your new SL. It's beautiful, and I know you're going to love it.
Secondly, If you love your music, go out and buy an 8GB memory card and move all your music over to that, then just plug it into the face of your radio and you're good to go. I've got over a thousand songs on my card and it's only taken up a little over 4GB's.
The other thing to do, in my opinion, is to install a small amplifier to help power the rear speakers, which, without an amp, are woefully inadequate. There are a few threads here that address that issue.
That's what I figured. My salesman will be back in town tomorrow, so I'll set up an appointment with him later this week to go over some things. Among them is setting up the Mercedes apps, it looks like they need activating.
