UMI w/ Command upgrade?

I remember reading somewhere that MB is working on an UMI w/ Command (voice control) upgrade..
Can anyone confirm this or have more updates??
I am tempted to have my C300 retrofit w/ the UMI function just for the iPod control on 5" display and A2DP Bluetooth..
However, if there is a Command included version coming soon, I will certainly wait for it..

Yes for you audio 20/ Audio 40 people there is an upgrade available. The Radio / Display / headunit stays the same. But it will add Navigation, Ipod control, USB based MP3, and wireless music. It is refered to as UMI / Universal Media Interface.

I believe part number is A204 870 59 96

Do you have a picture of this media interface by any chance and also is it different from the ipod interface that is controlled from the instruments cluster? thanks
