FS: OEM iPod Integration Kit
I have a complete and unused iPod integration kit that I bought for my W204 ('09 C350) from the dealership. It's still in the original box and none of the bags are even opened. Decided not to install it because I'm thinking about selling the car.
I paid $300 for it but willing to sell for $210 shipped OBO. Thanks for looking.

With the iPod kit the tracks and playlists show up on the instrument cluster and you can control it with the steering wheel buttons. It also charges the iPod so you can just leave an iPod in their indefinitely and always have your music hooked up.

Do you have any part numbers available?
There are a few different types of iPod integration kits available. For 08 and 09 cars with Audio 20 (non-COMAND), you have the option of using Nav+4 (formerly universal media interface, or UMI). For Audio 50/COMAND cars, you're basically stuck with the factory aux/CAN based integration that can only be controlled via the instrument cluster.
It is possible, however, to retrofit the UCI (universal connection interface) module from the 2010 and 2011 cars on 08 and 09 cars. This gives you iPod control via the COMAND screen, but it is an unsupported retrofit and requires a third party with an SDS setup to force this coding for you. Most dealer SDS are not able to add this option code as it's invalid for earlier model years.
I'm definitely interested in the kit if it's the UCI module.

I found this pretty good DIY. This is for W203 but it'll give you an idea: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ation-kit.html
