    School me on R Class

    Congrats on the R. A much underrated car IMHO. Is it a long or short wheel base? I had a swb 2006 model for a few years and absolutely loved it. A right good old cruiser. If I remember correctly, I had to buy something like this.. https://www.commandonline.co.uk/Mercedes_Bluetooth_HFP.html...

    This is gonna sting!
