ipod update

the local parts dept at my dealership claims that the ML ipod kit is about to come in. they also said the other ipod kits are about to be released, but they are all on backorder. i know, rumours from the dealership are never good or completely solid, but was just curious what anyone else might have heard. i mean, it is nearly April.

Hi there, in the recent MBCA magazine, I read an article about Mercedes-Benz being the first car manufacturer to have a fully integrated I-Pod kit, which this signed a deal with Apple to do that, and to have it you must have Command in your car, and the upcoming ML will be the first car to have it. Hope I answered your question

thanks for the courteous reply. but yes, i think most of us are aware of that. if you go to MBUSA's website you can see all the info there.

my question was more in regards to when the kit will be available considering it states it will be ready in April. just checking to see if anyone has sourced a kit yet or if they have any information that overrides that.

as far as I know, there is no support for cars before 2005 but that may change. THe reason the comand is needed is for the aux input.

Does anyone know exactly why they don't support pre-2005 models? Is there a difference in the COMAND systems?
