my mom has the ipod integration kit in her glove box and the sound is horrible. I have the ipod integration kit in my 335i and it sounds 1000x better. I get alot of static in the MB when listening to songs via ipod. what is this "in-line" amp that's available from MB? shouldn't that have come with the kit?

Unless MB's system is different (or just plain terrible) in the new C, I feel some of you are describing aux inputs rather than iPod integration. Static and changing the volume on the iPod are charateristics of an auxiliary input. With iPod integration it shouldn't matter what the sound volume on the iPod is...

The in line amp is now supplied with the new IPOD kits assuming you don't have the MM package. Or at least dealers should be supplying them with the IPOD kits. The descrepancy here is that the in line amp is only needed for cars that DO NOT have the MM package. If you have the MM package you should not need the in line amp. Please someone correct me if I an wrong and you have MM and a bad sounding IPOD integration.

PCMIA slot is only on the command units, the east way to tell is the command has a 7 inch screen and the standard radio has a 5 inch screen,
just go to the dealer for the volume issue they should be aware of it
