Carbon fibre vs. Dark Ash

hah, interesting that you pointed this out. It was one of the very few things i waited til the last minute to decide on.

The deciding factor being the new SL63's more aggressive styling, the fact that it has reminders of AMG on it everywhere, i went with carbon fibre.

I think either is a great choice.

James,
Is there any way to just flash my COMAND with the software from the GL450? Is it *physically* missing *hardware* to have a working congestion/traffic monitor? If its not physically missing a piece of hardware, then a software update should introduce this feature, no?

Feel free to PM me. I'm in the Valley so you're my dealership.

For now there is no way to do so... If anything changes I'll be the first to tell you all!

why u have to post ur handsome face there among all the other car images? is that a trap or something?

my co-workers are now accusing me for visiting queer websites and questioning about my sexual preferences... thank u for that !!!

i originally like white car on red very much... but now for some reason i got that connected to your face in my subconscious... i don't think i can buy any white car on red anytime soon... thank u for that again !!!

FYI... if u wanna share your pretty face somewhere... try not to do it in a car forum... 99% of us probably won't be interested...

Dont mind the office chit chat. Maybe your co-workers are onto something, your obvious insecurities makes you an easy target! But i regress, picture has been deleted! And your welcome, can we talk about just cars now!?

The weird thing is, the first day I turned the COMAND on in my SL63, I highlighted and pushed one of the tabs on the bottom right and I SAW weather and traffic expand out of that tab. I spent 10 minutes yesterday looking for it again and I couldn't find it. It seems as if weather and traffic is programmed into the system, but it is not being made available to us and it is now gone from my screen. It appeared just that one time, which was the first time I turned on the COMAND in my car.

Where is traffic and weather on your wife's friend's car? I am curious if it is on the bottom right tab.

I am sure this is the service I saw when I first turned the COMAND sytem on in my SL63. It was when I was activating my Sirius and Tele-aid subscriptions. My COMAND screen showed that I had traffic and weather, but once I activated Sirius, it went away.

Maybe our COMANDS have the software, which is why I saw these services on the screen, but our COMANDS don't have the traffic tuner. Once I activated Sirius, that option went away on my car's COMAND screen. So, Fantasm, we might need traffic tuners to get this service. Read about it here:

Great looking cars! I wasn't a fan of the 63 until I drove one.... what a great car. And then we started dialing in the ECU's and made them even better. I just might have to sell my trusty SL55 and get a 63!

Is there any mods that can accomplished without hindering the warranty? Better yet, is there something i can do to ensure that all that power i already have isn't wasted? Sometimes i feel the tires are spinning, the rear wheels fighting to put all that power to the ground. If i added more power, i feel it would really be interesting to see if in fact it would help my 0-60 time.
