iPod control?
Hey everyone, so I recently traded in my BMW for my first merc, and I got an 09 with the flip out MM navi and everything.. Though that's not the case since i cannot control my iPod or stream audio via a2dp BT.
I searched the forum and google and I keep hearing about a UMI kit and other types of updates but so far it seems like those are for people looking to retrofit the entire navi into their car which I already have..
All I want is the cable so that I can control my iPod via BT streaming or the screen and steering wheel, if not atleast the latter. I cannot seem to find exactly what I would need.. It seems like it's not the $1700 UMI that I need, or is it? I read somewhere that it's simply a $200 cable to install?
Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction, right now I'm just confused from what I've read. Thanks!

Do you have the iPod cable in the glove box? If so connect and go to disc and with the command scroll down to AUX you should be able to scroll your ipod with the end call button on your steering wheel.

once you are in the audio tab re highlight audio press the mouse and scroll down to aux took me a while to figure out, MB isnt very intuitive/user friendly i find myself using the dash buttons and the mouse let me know if that helps
