Nice, concise post for everyone. I never have played a CD, so screen always defaults to AUX.

I have stock radio with an ipod connection in the glove box. It doesn't show on the radio screen but it does show song names on the
cluster mount as in the last pic. The directional pad on the left side of the steering wheel controls the song changing

You need the Ipod Interface installed, some come from the factory, most are MB dealer installed. Check your options list, or get the iPod Interface from your dealer. OR get theUMI (Universal Media Interface), the MB dealer can compare your VIN against a list of vehicles that can accept this interface.
