What is MIP? I have a 09' C63 and I purchased the optional Ipod charging interface cable for $375(*******s!!) but I don't know what you mean with MIP.

Mine charges the Ipod and I can play the music thought the menu on the streering wheel.

No.. what you need is to retrofit UCI that comes on 2010+ cars in the US..

For 08-09 Multi Media Screen (ie the pop up nav screen) does not support an Ipod display. The only display you get is the command center screen after you switch to audio and you have to use the steering wheel buttons to navigate the Ipod. For 2010 the Multi Media Screen will display the full Ipod menu and you can use the normal multifunction command control knob. I've check with several dealers and MBZ factory and they all have said there is no firmware/software upgrade for 08-09.
