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.

I have that with my pioneer unit and love it. Nice to push the button and say, 'change source to ipod'....goes to ipod, play 'paper planes' plays paper planes.

same with the bluetooth phone feature...If I knew this was this good, I would of had one in the focus.
