I have a long awaited relay which I need to install in the rear SAM of our W164: are there any must dos and don'ts when it come to fitting? I assume it's the same as a regular fuse, so engine and ignition off, but with battery connected is the order of the day - is that right?

Hi, looking for some advice for my new (2002) ml270 CDI (facelift). It's got the standard single din merc stereo at the moment, which has satnav, but only gives you voice commands and an arrow. There is also a bose sound system, and above the rear view mirror, in the reading light bit, there...

As above - is this possible? Would love to have the panoramic roof on the R129 I am purchasing - I understand they were issued after the facelift but can they be retro-fitted. Have tried google and the search here but couldn't find a definitive answer. Would really appreciate a yes/no...
