Question iPod integration kit question

Hey fellas and ladies, my new C350 came with the iPod integration kit and I'm like the only one in the world without an iPod. Anyways, this might sound like a stretch but does the integration kit allow for an iPod to display its GUI on the main NAV screen? It seems reasonable that the control knob in the C300/350 are perfect for navigating through an iPod (up, down, left, right, enter). If this is true, we can play videos off an iPod and watch it on the NAV screen. If this is not true, is there a way it can be modded to do so?

Thanks.

No you can't even control the ipod with the big wheel, only with the steering wheel controls.

Supposedly a new connector mercedes is going to offer in new cars allows control on the main screen, but not how it is now.

Funny how your car came with kit and you don't have an ipod. opposite here. Plenty of ipods, no ipod kit!

C230 W204 with C63 Kit Package
yeah. too bad the current one still do not support GUI on NAV screen, only on instrument cluster. I found that on earlier model if you use Dension iPod kit you can have GUI on NAV screen and also control over it, so I was wondering if there's W204 Dension iPod kit available already?
I posted that question on the forum HERE

This would be awsome, I am itching to make some kind of mod to mine.
