I completely agree. Manufactures should move away from manufacturer specific connections and interfaces, specially since there is now a wide range of devices that can connect via USB. I personally have never owned an Iphone or Ipod (not that I am biased against Apple, I am just used to other devices). That being said, I am not sure if these connections would put me off buying a certain vehicle, but it would make me think about it. I am glad to see that a large majority of vehicles do use the generic USB connection.

no need to worry. I'm sure your local dealership will be happy to fix it correctly, promptly, and with excellent communication! oh wait...

zcalvert, you forget to add that their local dealership is also sure to fix it right the first time! LOL

I can't imagine the outrage if the Ford Focus had as many niggling issues as this car. I thought Mercs attention to detail had improved.
