What model iPod do you have? I believe the kit only works with certain iPods.

What do you mean "it freezes"? You should get a screen with the tristar MB logo. That tells you that the car is controlling the iPod. Here is what it should look like:

Then look at your MFD. You should see the song playing listed there. You then use the steering wheel controls to control the iPod. You can't control the iPod with the clickwheel. You have to control it with the steering wheel. Here is another link that may help:

It takes a while to figure out how to use the steering wheel to reach all of the menu options on the iPod. It's not real user friendly and I don't advocate doing it while you are driving.

Hope this helps.

if your iPod freezes, try to reset the iPod by pressing both "MENU" and "Center Button" at same time (don't plug the cable). My iPod kit works well with 2G/3G/4G and my iPhone.
