i dont think so. when i got my new cable, i just plugged that mother into the box and it worked fine. when i say "go to the dealer", i mean go back to the parts guy and ask him for help; the parts guy at my dealership is always super helpful to me in that way. your cable could be defective, so ask him/her if you can try another cable to see if it works.

I just replaced mine and love Love it. Fantastic audio quality plus I can see my playlists as well as use Pandora. FYI this is for Iphone 4 and does charge while in use.. Photo shows with a "white" tip cover but the new replacement is black. The Mercedes-Benz OEM iPod Interface Wiring Harness (5V) item # B67824531 is the correct part for your 2008 C-Class and iPhone 4/4S, iPod Touch and Apple products that require a 5V charge (will not work with iPhone 5).

When i contacted the dealership in CO, he asked for my vin and told me my MY was an '08 even though my car is an '09. He said thats why it didnt work on my car so I'm just gonna drive down to my dealership and purchase one for $95

in fact, I would test the cables out at the dealership before purchasing/leaving, as I suggested previously. saves a lot of aggro later. keep us posted.

I had no way to test the other one because it shipped to NY from CO. But I will deff test it out at my dealer when I purchase it. Only reason i purchased the one from CO was because it was $65 as oppose to $95

yes. and btw I tested it before and the tune2air works fine with both the new and old cable. so if you have the old white tipped one (sorry, I can't recall of you do and didn't check the thread), you can get the tune2air and just try that first.

I have an Iphone 4S and had to plug in my phone but today the wire broke and the dealership wanted $65 for cable and $325 to install. The plug isn't in the box but goes through the box to the back of radio. I also inquired about the part to stream audio but the parts guy said it couldn't be done but the dealership across town said they had a $500 interface that plugs into the ipod adapter.....So I need a new cable and I guess a Tune2Air to stream my audio? can we just upgrade command unit?

So.... Based on all of the recommendations in this thread, I purchased a WMA1000.
You should all understand that the only thing that will display on the MB screen or cluster is content in your library. Spotify or Pandora play fine, but the MB screens remain where they were prior. There is no advantage to the Tune2Air if you already have the Media Interface Cable from MB. Who wants to have to look at the phone to see what's playing?
Very disappointed.
Regards,
Joe

hey joe. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post, but I use the tune2air in my car with the iPod integration kit and cable. it displays current song playing and I can use the steering wheel buttons to shuffle and navigate my iphone library. it also does so for my internet based music players, such as pandora and spotify. I have a iphone 5.
Interesting. I have a 2010 and an iPhone 5s. MB screens stay stuck on last song that was on my library. When I switch to Spotify, it never changes from last library song on MB displays. A check of the FAQ on the Viseeo site confirms that it won't display anything on the MB screens unless coming from library.
I've sent a message to them. I can't understand how it's working for you.
Thanks.

it may be different, I'm not positive re the lingo. but I have the iPod integration kit with the iPod cable plugged into it. I then plug the T2A onto the end of the cable. do you have full functionality with the steering wheel up and down buttons when the iPhone is plugged in directly?
I have a 2009.

I have full functionality while in library. Once I switch to Spotify, I can only control from iPhone.

Charging an old iPod to see if it works. If so, it's a 5S deal. If not, then I need to investigate cable. I've been poking around on web sites, and it appears it's not supposed to work with steaming.
Glad yours works and thanks for the help.
