Has anyone ever done this?

I really hate that the command in my 550 has no menu to pick songs off of the iPod. The steering wheel is cool and all but what if i want a specific song?

Also the navigation program seems to be a little old

And what i hate the most? No scroller.

Is there any way this could be done to the 550? Lets say i bought all the necessary parts, would it even be possible to retrofit it? Thanks.

Maybe because no 209:er has ever done the mod to tell you if it's possible or not??

 

True =\ but does anyone know if it's even possible? What would
It require? Different trim pieces? Coding?

 

Honestly, I'd go aftermarket before even trying this. I think it might work technically, but where are you going to mount the NAV screen? that would require a lot of trim customization. Heck, it would go beyond "trim" and into the word of a totally custom dash fabrication.

 

Agree with Rodeney on this! Too many unknown factors and the chances that MB updated/changed the protocols are too big.

Go aftermarket... Alpine/Pioneer + a good adaptor frame & interface for SWRC.
