But they are german made.Not the same thing (for good or for bad) ... the current Mercedes system is by Tele Aid and is to be replaced with a system from Hughes that incorporates elements of the OnStar and Sync systems ... Sync BTW is by Microsoft (hence my "for good or bad" comment.

As a side note ... we now have just over 1k on the wife's new Fusion SEL and we both like the SYNC system ... she likes the voice command hands-free phone connectivity and I like how I can voice-navigate my 8 gig memory stick loaded with dozens of albums and hundreds/thousands of tracks. The best part IMO is that we can combine voice commands with using the steering wheel controls - ie: pressing the OK button.

Do yourself a favour ZTW, sign up on SyncMyRide.com, download the version checker and see what software your system is running (If you need help I can meet up with you to do the checking once you sign up there) because the latest software 1.2 fixes more than a few "gotchas"
