Ooooh almost got #1 2 times in a row. Re Andrew36, FWIW, I had a similar encounter a few years ago in another car and was later telling an attorney friend about the event. He said I should have let the person behind me hit my car rather than accelerating away, due to differing liability issues when you're hit vs perhaps hitting someone else while trying to avoid being hit yerself. It wasn't my choice, but thought i'd pass it along....
#3 of 8163 Drew-cargo organizer by parfive1 Dec 03, 2000 (5:22 pm)
Did you get that right from MB? I like the separate bins.
#4 of 8163 Hey Drew by rajalinga Dec 03, 2000 (6:01 pm)
Thanks.. Can you show me the pics of the Xenon protector or the deflector that you mentioned. I am going to order the organizer from Clair. Listen, It probably has been mentioned but how do you increase the volume of the MCS voice command to a more audible level. I went into the setup menu and changed the setting to max but I have to lower the CD volume to bare minimum to even hear the lady talk !! and another thing in the rain sensor function for the wipers, I have to leave the wipers on intermittent position all the time as a result , when I start, both the front and the back wipers, work ( back, when i reverse)for a minute, Is there any way to stop them from doing that apart from switching them off. Thanks Raj.
#5 of 8163 1st Problem..... by bob259 Dec 03, 2000 (6:32 pm)
Well after 6,100 miles and 8 months of service I've encountered my 1st problem (and hopefully last). When I went out this AM to go to the diner it was a crisp 4 degrees (F). The ML wouldn't unlock the doors, but the rear hatch did unlock, so I crawled through and pulled up on the drivers door lock knob, unlocked the car and proceeded to the diner. When I first hit 9 mph I noticed I maybe having a problem as the drivers door knob did not retract and the locks cycled three times, in an apparent attempt to get the drivers door to lock. At the diner I was unable to get the remote to activate the drivers door. Figuring it was just still to cold I left it unlocked and went in for breakfast, after we went shopping and I manually had to push the knob down at the store. On our return I couldn't get the remote to unlock any door, but the rear hatch again unlocked. Again crawling through I unlocked the door and proceeded home. Once home I tried to re set the locks and remote, but all the doors work, except for the drivers door. I took the plug out and now have to do it by hand, but only the drivers door is activated by this lock, none of the others... so in order to stop the alarm from going off I have to unlock via the remote then unlock the drivers door manually (Grrrrrrr!!!!!) I'll call the dealer tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll have to wait for parts if something is broken in the lock. This will be my first experience with this dealer and I'm not looking forward to is as their service record is poor, but it's the only dealer in our area and where I bought the car from. Sorry for the long winded post, but as you can sense I'm not real thrilled right now. Up until this episode I did not have a complaint, but if this is going to be a common problem in cold weather I am not going to be a happy camper....

For the Navigation Lady, you have to adjust the main volume control knob while she is speaking. Press the 'Navi Voice' Button and she will speak, while she is speaking adjust the main volume control and this will change the volume of her voice. I wouldnt have know this if some one on this list hadn't told me. Robert
#7 of 8163 door locks by kenyee Dec 03, 2000 (7:02 pm)
bob259: You have the infamous "machine gun locks" problem. If they replace it w/ locks that were made in 2/2000, they should be ok. When was your ML built?
#8 of 8163 Phone by rexconde1 Dec 03, 2000 (9:06 pm)
Can someone post a picture of the MB phone regular StarTAC or Timeport StarTAC installed? I'm just wondering where it would go (I know the armrest) but how easy it is to get into... What kind of cradle is in the armrest? Robert

Can you post your pic with all the cleaning supplies(brushes and waxes) Can't get the Zymol locally..Does anyone know a 1 stop shop for good deals on Zymol,chamois and all the good stuff you need to keep out trucks clean. My Cypress Green is more work.. like you guys said. I bet cleaning and waxing the roof is not going to be easy..right Raj.
