Chains are less expensive.

Slide the lid open, press the button on the cassette and it will eject itself slowly by a little electric motor. If it doesn't come out, try with the ignition on since the motion is electric.

Capo, Eric means with the leg of my water jerry holder in the way.
Oops, my bad, hehe!
Interesting subject though, is it possible to connect an iPod to the sound system? Some systems, like mine, will not admit it but surely there must be a way?

I'm not certain about the G Wagen, but generally, if a radio has an "auxiliary" input on the display when scrolling thru the source options, the audio system can be set up with an IPod as an input. Doing so might require splicing an iPod adapter into the radio wiring harness. Any experienced aftermarket stereo shop should be able to do it.

Decent point JP. I have 6 discs in my changer and 3 extra magazines. Those get changed a couple of times per year. I also use the Ipod and the radio, and wait just a minute, since mine is a 1999 I also have the option of playing a tape! I do find that I use the CD player quite frequently since I don't have an Ipod that is dedicated in the car always on and playing. The Ipod or Android phone provides way better music selectivity, but it is an extra couple of steps to get it going just for an 8 minute drive to work when there's only commercial or chatter playing on my favorite radio stations.
Capo, there is a aux input for the 2001+ G-class that is relatively simple to add on to the rear of the COMAND unit.

Yes, mine has an iPod cable(IIRC it was a factory accessory offered at some point), accessed thru Service Settings/AUX. Not the best build quality, the wires are like 30ga--just had to repair them yesterday actually as 2 of the 3 soldered wires had popped off the jack head, so I got a gold screw-type from Radio Shack and I have iPod again, woohoo!

Hey William,
Unfortunately my plans this year changed. Long story short my GF's landmark b-day is around that time so I can't drive the G there in time. Looking forward to next year, along with my friend Mike and his XV-JP-NW(http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/51254-EarthRoamer-XV-JP-quot-Northwest-Edition-quot )
Have fun, I look forward to the event pics!

Jeremy,
I'll try and get some good pics. It will be my first time and I'm sure all of the cool vehicles are overwhelming.
You mentioned G-wagen cornering on Mikes thread. Have you looked into the rear sway bar set up for your G? I have one and it keeps the vehicle very flat on corners. It works great on mine and with the lower CG of yours I'm sure it would be amazing. Just a thought...
