iPhone intergration
I am wondering if I get the bluetooth module does it work with the iPhone and if I buy the ipod kit does it work with the iPhone using the command and can I do both at the same time?

For the bluetooth phone option, does it download your iPhone 2G contact list and display it in the command?
I think I'm going to pass on the iPod kit since I need to make calls while I listen to my music, plus its expensive. I guess i'll just stick with the AUX.

I have a W211 - so not sure if my experience will mirror.
I have a 3G iPhone, bluetooth with puck and iPod kit.
Phonebook downloads onto Command screen and my instrument cluster. I can place/recieve calls through both the Command and steering wheel controls. I can also play songs from my iPhone. Song titles only display on my instrument cluster. I can control the songs through my steering wheel buttons.
If I'm playing songs, and a call comes in, it automatically mutes the song. I think it's well integrated.
As a previous poster stated, I don't think I can charge my phone when it's plugged into the ipod kit. I get a message on the phone saying as such.
Both were installed by MBenzNL - great guy to work with.
