1. I was messing with the car last night and added my Ipod to the Ipod kit with came with the car but I couldnt manage the ipod from the interface of the car. I could hear the music but I couldnt change songs or see the names in the screen?

2. Do I need a CD to have the navigation maps working? because My S550 has all maps functioning when I was delieved the car when I bought it.

3. Also is breaking really needed because I am really anxious to floor the sucker and start racing? I have a frined who has a R32 twin turbo and he is dieying to race with me. He car does approx 11's on 1/4 mile. What do you guys think?

4. Any tips on anything else I should look for in my car which is out of the normal to look for?

 

1. use the steering wheel button to chance songs

2. No CD needed for navi all the information is stored in the hard drive

3. R32 twin turbo SWEET!

4. go to w204 forum and check this thread

Thanks but can you elaborate alittle more on the Navi in the hard drive, what is required for me to get all the maps stored and running?

Also can I keep the DVD movie running in driving mode?

 

what's the point of having a iPod kit if you can't see or select songs??
I thought you would be able to see what's going on either on the navi screen or instrument cluster

What problems are u having with the navi?
you can't use it????

 

I know the Ipod KIT SUCKS big Time.

The Navi i dont see the maps it is like I need to update or dowload maps into the system.

 

You should be able to see the songs in front of you and not on the navigation screen.

you should follow the break-in procedure...but if your buddys car runs 11's you stand no chance on beating him in a 1/4mi race

 

I thought so but I will still be a good race and one to watch.

 

No it won't be.

 

The Ipod interface is a little confusing to start with.
Select "Audio" on the MM screen
You should the get a list of Sat, Disc, and Aux
Select Aux
Now hit the steering column left and right arrows to select Audio on the Main Indicator. (The speedometer)
The bit that is not explained is to then hit the "hang up telephone" button
This then gives you control of the Ipod so you can then scroll through Artists, Albums, Composers etc
In conjunction with the left side up & down arrow on the steering column and the "OK" button

Dont know who designed it but after a few trys its easy to figure out.

Strange thing is if you search "Ipod" on the Operators Manual or Comand manual there is zip on this?

Its a great thing to use to bust your MB sales guys nuts because most of them cannot figure it out how to use the Ipod Integration.

 

On another note I keep seeing people cant upload their Iphone & Nokia N95 contact lists to the main memory storage.

I have done it for the Iphone & Nokia N95 8GB and it's flawless.

 

ive heard the 08 models display IPOD titles on the instrument cluster like in other MB models

ive also read that the 09s show the IPOD lists on the navi screen..
thats supposedly a new feature

 

HA HA. He invested more than $40,000.00 to a $40k car. I still believe it will be a good race.

 

Yeah, I can't upload my phonebook via Bluetooth. Verizon is my provider and I have a POS Moto KRAZR phone.

I might post a separate question in a different section about this...

good explanation on the iPod interface.... My disappointment with the iPod integration is that it only reads out in the gauge cluster, not in the Nav, and it only displays song title (while the song is playing)

 

Might be a silly question but cant be asked to get the manual out;

1) Where exactly do you hook up the Ipod?

2) In the centre console (armrest) the manual says it opens but how on earth do you open it?

Thanks!

 

The idea behind this was to keep the driver's eyes on the road rather than at the NAVI, so I'm surprised it's being claimed that the '09 will be different.

The Ipod integration kit cable is in the passenger glovebox and you just plug in the Ipod.

There should be some paperwork containing instructions also.

On your armrest question there's a button on the drivers side just underneath the armrest which releases the cover.

 

Navi is updated via Tele Aid fyi.
