2004 CL500 IPod integration

Hi Guys. I want to be able to play/control my IPod through the command unit.

I searched the glovebox for an aux plug...but I dont have one.

how can I integrate the IPod?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Your car has M.O.S.T. fiber optic system, so it takes a bit to make it all happen. There is always an FM transmitter system for less than $80 typically.

I understand.....I am not questioning your retail price at all.....Just wish there was a less expensive way...

Also would like to use my cell phone in the car.....I have the old motorola v60 set up.....How much and what do I need to make that happen?

Thanks Cartronics!

You can get both iPod and Telephone system AND wireless A2DP (bluetooth) music streaming in one device. You can see it at our site (first item Telephone and iPod) on your car's page. Since these posts live on forever, I won't quote the price here, but you can look it up there.
