Thanks for the info.

I have a 2000 ML 430 with 65K miles, so my warrantee is over. I bought this car at a lease return auction. I got a good deal; I just have to fix some minor issues and really appreciate your help.

I do have one more question. My CD changer likes to skip occasionally, but only on disc 1 through 3. Am I better off taking it to a Benz dealer, to a Bose authorized service center, or buy a new one? Is the quality not that good, should I get a different brand; will a different brand work with the installed system Navigation/Stereo System?

Thanks for all your help, you are great!
