New 05 SL55 owner

I just got my first SL55 AMG (2005) and have questions on the Audio/Electronics.

1) Am I able to use the phone Accessory or is it outdated for my IPhone (does the 05 have Bluetooth?)


2) Any suggestions on the best way to be able to play my Ipod through the Audio system


3) Is the whole system Bose or just the speakers? Car specs say 8 or 10 speakers but I don't see them


4) Last but not least, there is a CD/ DVD stuck in the single disc player in the dash and it wont eject. any tips on how to get it out without paying the dealership to remove the whole stereo


Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated-Thanks

Ours has a CD stuck in the head unit to!
We installed:
Amazon.com: Dension Gateway 500 (GW52MO2) MOST Bluetooth, iPod, USB, AUX Interface for Select Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Saab, Volvo: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Dension Gateway 500 (GW52MO2) MOST Bluetooth, iPod, USB, AUX Interface for Select Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Saab, Volvo: Car Electronics
Because our SL55 did not have the Bluetooth puck option. It works very well.
We had the CD changer pulled and put the Denison in it's place.

Did you install the Dension unit or have a audio shop do it? what did you do about the stuck CD? so with the gateway 500 they just pulled the CD changer and installed the unit? so I take it you can do your ipod / Bluetooth now? thanks
