I need some help.
I just picked up a 2006 E-Class and am looking to be able to play MP3s in the car. I do know that Benz has their own "iPOD Integration Kit" however there is VERY little information available on it. The dealership doesn't have any brochures, nor do they have any cars with it installed to show me how it functions.
Obviously functionality is critical to me. I've been told that you can view what's playing in the Multi-Function Display on the speedometer, but I can't imagine that it would be easy to use if that was my ONLY way to view iPOD music.
The display area is small --- great for showing whats playing --- but I could never be able to scroll, select artists, or playlists from that little window.
So here is what I'm asking since there isn't much info available to me:
1) Does anyone have this Mercedes iPOD kit and how does it work? Is there a good place to get solid info on it?
2) What other options are out there (not by Mercedes) that might work better? I've heard of Dension, but haven't found much specifically for my car that might work.
Need some advise here. I'm a huge MP3 user and would love to get this working in my car...if I can find something thats functional and easy to use.
Thanks!
