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

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.

Album artwork on COMAND
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!

cover art in comand online /mercedes class c 2011
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.
