Congratulations! I know you will be happy with it, I sure like my 2001 ML320! They do ride very comfortably for a truck, both in the front and rear seats, and the "amenities" are very nice indeed. You need an owners manual, and I'll bet you can get one on Ebay if you watch for a few weeks. There are a few things that the owner's manual is needed for.
I just finished installing the phone adapter in my 2001, a bluetooth version, and I really like it, as I use the phone on the job a lot, and all you have to do is get in the ML and the bluetooth syncs right up to the phone, then you can talk normally and hear the caller on the radio speakers (the radio mutes automatically) plus you can dial the number using the radio buttons. With my PPC-6800 I cannot download the phone directory, but I can use it from the phone if needed. Next addition will be the voice control, which will allow me to dial numbers by voice, and control some radio functions by voice also. The phone was just a plug the cable in sort of addition, but I have to build the harness for the voice control unit, as it wasn't an option in 2001.
Good luck with the new purchase, let us know how it does with mileage after a few hundred miles are accrued.
