Got my SLS... not bad.
Got my SLS a few weeks ago. Came with carbon fiber interior and B&O audio system. Silver exterior to match my two other silver cars 
Overall the car is not bad. Was expecting it to get less attention, kind of annoying people taking photo of it.
Seats are a bit small for my 6'2" frame and my fat ***.
A few questions about the car perhaps somebody might answer:
1. is there an after-market mod to let me enter addresses into navigation without coming to a full stop?
2. my iPhone playlists don't properly show up in the system - am i doing something wrong?
3. on my 7er in the navigation it tells me approximate arrival - any way to get that info with SLS?
cant wait to take the car on the track... meanwhile if you see a silver SLS flying through destroyed streets of san francisco, it is probably me

Using a diagnostic it MIGHT be possible to code the Navigation to enter address while driving.
Does it prohibit voice entry while driving ?

As for the questions
1. I believe it is possible to reprogram the nav so that you can enter an address while driving . Here in the gulf we don't have this issue as it comes from the dealer with the ability to enter an address while driving.
Your dealer might have a way to reflash. If not someone would for sure.
2. Make sure you are using the actual Ipod/Iphone/Ipad connector and not the USB connector.
3. This I will try to find out.

3) Getting an ETA has been a pain for the past few versions of COMMAND. I can't recall right off the top of my head, but it is at least 4-5 steps and then it obscures the map view, so you have to back out after looking at it. Never understood why they didn't just put the ETA in one of the corners of the map.

Congrats on your new ride! I think I might have some answers for you:
1. Not sure about a mod, but you can use the voice activation to enter an address while driving. It can be somewhat annoying, but as you use it more the system will start to get better.
2. Make sure you have the latest software updates for the car and you iPhone.
3. After you enter a destination on the navigation screen, select the "full screen" option and it will display your arrival time at the bottom of the screen.
