DETROIT and SAN FRANCISCO — Mercedes-Benz USA and Apple® today announced the iPod Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz, making Mercedes-Benz the first automaker to provide full iPod music navigation for drivers to listen to their entire iPod music collection through the Mercedes-Benz audio system, as well as select their music using artist, album or playlist with the multifunction controls on the steering wheel and the integrated multifunction display in their instrument cluster.
The iPod Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz will debut this April in the US with the all-new 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and will be introduced for most other 2005 and 2006 models later this year.
“Music lovers want to listen to their digital music in their cars, and we're delighted to be working with Mercedes-Benz to offer a fully integrated solution," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The iPod Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz features the quality and attention to detail Mercedes is famous for, perfectly complementing Apple's innovative iPod."

The iPod Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz provides outstanding sound quality while charging the iPod, and conveniently connects and stores in the glove compartment. The solution also allows the driver to "See What You're Hearing" with music title or playlist information shown on the integrated multifunction display in the instrument cluster. Drivers will be able to easily access their entire iPod music library, shuffle songs and skip between tracks and playlists.
