Carlos,
This thing rocks!!! Could not be happier and exactly what I wanted. My firmware is 1.2.0 FYI, so you may wish to check and see if that is out there. Have not really looked into how to update the thing yet. Love it.

Hi Keith, sorry for the confusion. Yes the kivic has HDMI and 3.5 video/audio outputs. I was just letting you know that you would need to purpose one of your audio inputs for this. Also, how are you planning to connect the video from the kivic to your screen? I had to use a multimedia interface and tap into the screen, the interface added rear can input and 2 video inputs. The audio goes in through my aux connection using 3.5mm stereo.
I set the audio on the radio to aux then I use the (return) button to switch the screen to the multimedia interface video input. Essentially the radio is still running it's original screen in the background while the interface takes over the video of the screen.
Let me know if you have any other questions, it's a bit confusing explaining on here.

Can you tell me, on a S/CL Class...i understand the audio would go into the aux jack -but where would the video input go? i dont believe my glove box has rca or hdmi. thanks

Just to summarize, it looks like for out w204 models we would need the video interface (~$200 plus the Kivic ONE @$199?)
Also, anyone tested it yet with the iPhone 6 ?

Yes you would be the interface plus the kivic one. And also it stopped working with my iPhone 6, it has about 20 second delay in showing what's on the phone, it is extremely laggy, the colors are glitchy , etc.. I checked and I have the latest firmware for my model.. I ended up just removing it from my car, even the original Apple lightning adapter doesn't work with my iPhone 6.
