I bought an MB4+ from Commandonline. I use in on my '07 280CDI with phone prep. I use it with an iPhone 6. The MB4+ sync's the contacts everytime I turn on the car - and sync typically takes 45min (with about 350 contacts). Sometimes it is faster 5-15min. Either way, it is too slow to be of...

The sliding cover over the cubby box in our recently acquired ML is jammed closed and no amount of fiddling with it will open it. I was hoping I could remove the lid of the arm rest and the box under it to sort it out but I can't see how to get to it. Secondly, the ashtray in the rear of the...
