Is the MY13 command system new or just a firmware update?

Mercedes is starting to talk about the command system on the MY13 cars, in particular, full iphone integration include siri, phone control, and display on the console. The article says that this will be available starting in 2013 on the e-class. Does anyone know if this upgrade will be backwards compatible to the 2012 e-class command system? I have a 2012 on order, and I am trying to figure out if I would need to delay my order to 2013 or not to get this.

Here is the article: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/24/m...l-new-a-class/

Doubt it will be backward compatible, but there is always the next bigger better thing. I am sure model year 14 will have something you must have too.
