Dean (Scorchie),

Just worked all night and installed the iPod kit in my 2005 w211. I know what you are thinking... the kits are not available yet... how did you get it. Dean and Steve have developed a new wiring harness that lets the w203? iPod kit work with any w211 (even pre 2005). Dean tested it on his car and then set it up on mine. It is a nice integration. The ipod shuts off when the car shuts off and turns on when I open the door. It shows a nice Mercedes symbol on the ipod when connected. I can control it from the steering wheel and I can see the name of the song. When I fast forward through a song it gives me a % of song left indicator in the dash's display. I had Dean install it in my center console as I just got the iPod Nano and it is small enough to fit there even with the UHI phone. This is cool - Thanks Dean.

As soon as the kit is available for the 2004, I'm there!!!!

My dealer said they had three in stock for my car? Think they're full of it or are these things starting to roll in

I have not idea if they are rolling in. I just got tired of waiting.

we have them available for the 2004s...even for (most of) the 2003s...still can't get it to work with D2B based 203s though...

greetingz,

I have the 2004 W211 (E500). What is the cost of the complete kit and installation? When are you going to come to the southeast US? I am interested in Xenon lights, folding mirrors, and the iPod installation. I can drive to almost anywhere in southeast US if you have any installation nearby.

I haven't been following this lately, but I thought it was established some time back that the IPod install kit would not work on the 03-04 w211?

-tokz-

would the kit work at '04 w211?? and how much is the price?

tymlesE500

please let me know how much for a w211 03. i live in hawaii. thanks

we are not sure yet wether the ipod kit will work with early 2003s (build in 2002) but does work with the 2004s and most of the 2003s...we are still working on the final wiring harness and will probably be offering these 2003/04 211 Ipod kits for almost the same or the same price as the 2005 W211 Ipod kits from the US dealerships.

I hope to be able to test the kit on a eurospec 2002 W211 this week (to see wether it will work with all 2003 211s).

greetingz,

-tokz-

so it's most probably will work with '04 w211??
and how much do it cost?and labor too...

tymlesE500

I will be waiting for your update. I would really like to have one in my 03 w211.

no problem...we just finished an Ipod install in an early 2003 W211 (with a 2002 build date)...as long as the car has a comand (which we added to that 2003 W211 today as well).

greetingz,
