The big DLO lettering gives this away as nothing more than the DLO HomeDock Deluxe product that connects an ipod to an svideo input . There are alot of ipod products out there that exist to hook up an iPod to a TV.

The DLO dock comes with a wireless remote.. Rob at Mid City went even further and figured out how to hook the DLO product into the regular command controller, so you didn't need the wireless controller.

Nav-TV probably have the DLO product working in conjunction with their video in motion product and sell it for some equally heinous price. The DLO product can be bought for $149 .


This would work in any car that has S-Video input for a portable DVD player etc... On the S Class there is an A/V input in the glove box. If you have the iPod adapter they get rid of the input. If you S class doesn't have it in the glove box, mercedes has a part number to add it in . In their infinite wisdom Mercedes doesn't seem to want the glove box A/V input and the factory iPod support to co-exist. I think they disable the audio on the A/V input once they add the ipod connector, but Rob at Mid City has a harness that makes it all just co-exist.

The video in motion is with this iPod dock.... and it's from Nav-Tv.... It works perfect and the install was pretty straight forward... I guess its just who you rather buy from...

Since the remote is infra-red. Do you mount the DLO unit in the Glovebox? If so how does the remote work with the glove box closed. Any pictures of an actual install?

Those pictures are after the actual install... the glove box is open just to show that the ipod is plugged in... all hardware is hidden behind the command unit.... The IR Eye is a remote eye that i can place anywhere.... and all that is in the glovebox is a ipod wire, like a factory kit....
