Does COMAND show iPod album art?
 

Hey Guys:

I was wondering...does the COMAND screen show album art from the iPod?

No, it does not

Can you stream video from the iPod onto the COMAND screen?

You can with a Video In Motion kit to all Mercedes that have a COMAND.

Interesting...and without the video in motion kit...will it show iPod video when at a standstill?

Don't confuse the Video In Motion with the VideoKey (unlock). The VideoKey unlocks functions that lock while in motion (internal DVD, some Nav functions, etc). The Video In Motion is a kit that gives you video inputs that work regardless of park, drive, etc. One is typically reserved for backup camera, and two more for other video, like iPod etc.

YES, the COMAND screen does show artwork from IPOD. I've ordered the Class C coupé 2011 and having tested the car have seen this first hand. However, strangely enough some songs do show the album cover and others don't (even though on my ipod and itunes they are ALL visible). I'm still trying to figure out why..... Will know more when I get the car!

wow, really? that would be awesome. maybe it's a new capability of 2011 command or c-coupe command? my 2010 does not show it

Attached is a photo of the dashboard where you can see the Artwork appearing on the Comand screen. Will give more details if you like when I get the car end of August.

Attached is a photo of how the cover art appears on the mercedes class c comand online (mid 2011). I had connected an IPOD first and strangely only some cover art appeared. Then, I connected a USB stick with all media files and all cover art showed up. It looks great.

The 2012 E class have a proper color screen and show ipod art, as does the facelifted (2012 in NA) C-class.
