Connecting iPhone

I'm considering buying an 08 C350. I've driven it and absolutely love it! The only problem is the aux input is in the glove box. I am a spotify premium user and stream my music while I drive. Is there a way to do this while not having my phone in the glove box? I've considered getting a double din in dash receiver but am not sure. I saw someone else on here did, but it looked liked that also took away the heated seat buttons. Excuse me if this is a dumb question, I've looked but have found nothing.
Thank you for your time.

Do what my daughter does with her 08 C300, use a longer cable, feed it under the glove box door and connect the iPhone.

Cost $10.00, time less than 1 minute.

I was in the same boat as you. I've had Spotify premium for almost 2 years and was really upset I couldn't just stream over bluetooth. I just bought a blackberry media bridge (search on this forum) and plugged it into the aux. Paired my iPhone with and the car and now can stream spotify without a problem. It pauses and everything when a call comes in, so works just like it should. There's no distortion or quality difference over the Aux port.
