iPod Control - Did You Know?

I figured out something cool today. I figured out how to COMPLETELY control my iPod from my steering wheel.

Select "Aux" from the audio options.

Select the "Audio" option on the dashboard settings using the steering wheel controls.

Now, using the telephone "disconnect" button, press it one time.

You should now see on your dashboard display the option to scroll through Podcasts, Genres, Artists, Songs, Shuffle Songs, etc.

I hope this helps someone.

Loving my C63

There is an update coming out soon that will let you control it from the COMAND. The guys from MidCityEngineering already have it.

Its in the manual. What sucks is you advance the iPod using the down arrow on the steering wheel, but when playing CDs, you press up on the arrow. MB should make them the same.

MB Fanatic - is it an update from MB in software or is it a aftermarket purchase?

if it is aftermarket - how would it work? software or hardware?

The dealer really should have gone thru this with you at delivery (mine did).

You also should have received a separate manual for the iPod adapter that explains all of this (I did).

I wish the cd player would show mp3 info on the screen. My parents S63 does.

There is NO update. It is a totally different hardware solution. Mid City does indeed have it but it's a four digit expense. Sorry - over $1k for the ability to view songs on the main display? nuh uh. I'll spend that on performance parts.
