For those of you who own an iPhone/iPod and want better integration with your 2009+ G-Class, I can verify that the new Mercedes Media Interface Plus adapter works in my 2010 G55 (international version). This device is currently only sold in the US because the Pandora integration only works in the US (in theory) and it is English-only for the moment.

My next project is to get the MB InCar HotSpot (WiFi router) installed. They haven't released a kit for the G-Class yet, but after digging around the EPC data it seems that the kit from the GL/ML should work.

Some photos of the install:

 

Thats pretty cool, what did it cost?

 

yeah and where you got it ?

 

It costs about $300, but for now is only sold by dealers in the US. I bought mine via eBay.

 

hi, interested to learn more about the MIP and can you help by some answers pls

thinking of getting the MIP and cable connect the iPod touch to the MIP, then to the Media Interface port. will ipod video play works?

then bluetooth pair my BB Bold 9700 to the Comand, and will SMS / email reading works pls?


many tks

 

Thats amazing. Out of all the cars ive owned, my 2009 G55 has been the best with ipod integration. I recently paired my Iphone 4 to the car and the calls are seamless.

By the way, i love the carbon fiber interior trim. I never saw it available on the 2009 options list

 

It's not a standard option...they had a limited edition in 2010 that came with carbon interior and side strips outside along with two tone leather, painted wheels, etc.:

A couple of companies, including AMG, offer interior trim upgrade kits in carbon fiber.

 

Your G-Class is one of the most beautiful ive seen...machallah

Drive in good health

Now i need to figure out where to get that carbon fiber interior trim

 

HI BEFORE I MAKE A PURCHASE FOR THE MERCEDES BENZ MEDIA INTERFACE PLUS PNA2129004712) WILL IT BE COMPATIBLE FOR MY ML W164 GRAND EDITION 2011 - IT RUNS ON COMMAND NTG 2.5 I THINK - AND ON THE AUDIO SETTINGS WHERE YOU CAN SELECT WHICH AUDIO SYSTEM YOU WANT TO PLAY ON, I COULD SEE THE MEDIA INTERFACE AS AN OPTION. SO IS THAT THE OPTION FOR ME TO CONNECT VIA BY MEDIA INTERFACE PLUS???
THANKS!!!!
