ML-D100 Bluetooth Audio Receiver
Has anybody used ML-D100 Bluetooth Audio Receiver for streaming Music via iPod Interface Kit in the Glove box?
I have a 2009 GL450 and trying to stream music wireless to the car speaker using Iphone.

Yes, we tried every version we could get our hands on before making our own (always less expensive to buy than re-invent) - The unit works ok on basic speaker systems, but has several quirks in it (it is pretty cheap). However it will not work at all on non-standard iPod interfaces, and the post 2008 (2009+) if definitely non-standard. Mercedes broke spec and does not conform to the Apple specs at all in MMI+.

I answered you on the previous post you have for the E Class, but we recommend the AnyStream. It is only slightly more, and works well vs. not at all for the MLD100

anystream didn't work for me
my 2 cents on the cartronics anystream:
2012 e coupe so very new firmware. I used the ipod connector cable which i verified as being the one 'supported' by cartonics (Mercedes part number A 001 827 82 04) http://www.cartronics.com/POM.html
My phone, htc desire hd running android 2.3, connects fine to the anystream and the led on the anystream flashes once every 6 seconds suggesting the connection phone<--->anystream is fine.
However the media interface on the car is stuck at 'activating device' and nothing else happens.
For the record, I called anystream and they took my call and were very polite. However the suggested 'solution' is to go and buy a composite av cable with authentication chip from apple to connect the anystream via usb - this costs very close to the price i paid for the anystream. With this in mind I may have opted for a different solution (like the motorolla gateway). I am also in Cyprus so sending it back is not really an option/feasible/cost effective. Thus I'm left with a $80 square of plastic. I may eventually go buy the composite cable but at this point i'm weary of spending more money on something that may or may not work. Caveat emptor.

I tried to edit the original post but cant so I have to quote instead.
NOTE: fwiw cartronics.com are "good people" - even after my negative review and after some back/forth with them - they are still responding to my questions. I believe their 100% money back guarantee. I understand that many people have had success with this product. I'm in the process of trying to source an apple usb cable 'with authentication chip' (the apple store won't deliver to my country and not sure that the ones on ebay/amazon have the 'apple authentication chip' built in which is what I need). If I get my hands on one and try it out I'll post back here.
