iPhone as iPod in W211
FYI Mercedes has just issued procedures and parts to replace the glove box connector of its iPod interface with a new wiring harness that snakes through the console to connect with your iPhone MHI cradle (2005-2008 models)
iPhone cradle is 204 820 31 51
iPod interface to iPhone cradle wiring harness is 204 820 03 04
WIS procedures start at AZ82.70-P-0013T
Of course we only have iPod interface in the GL and I'm waiting to learn of a harness/procedure for that vehicle.

W211 has Becker radio, X164 has Alpine radio.
Talked with mechanic at dealership today and he was pretty certain it wouldn't be.
I'll try to find part numbers of the basic iPod kits for the two cars and surely if they're the same the rest will be, too.

One-day ($18) subscription to startekinfo. I periodically check for DTBs, etc., so I'm educated when I visit my dealer.

On second look - we must be reading two separate documents... it seems I have two different part numbers.

The actual WIS procedures only reference the one harness I noted, and the rest of the procedures are the same.

I'm not aware of any aftermarket components that feature charging.

iPhone Charging in Cradle
I had the iPhone cradle in my e320 2005 car for a couple of months. I switched back to the BT puck. I seriously liked the fact the phone charged while driving.
The problem that concerned me was the iPhone would get SUPER hot while charging. I became concerned about cooking the phone. Charging off the wall adapter at home, the iPhone does not even get warm - let alone this hot as in the car.
