Question iPod Interface Kit

I recent purchased a 2008 GL450, which has an Aux input. I would like to add the iPod interface - does this mean I have to give up my Aux input? I need it for an external Sirius XM radio (Edge). Please let me know before I buy iPod interface kit. Thanks

You can install an integrated Sirius/XM to the car AND/OR we have iPod integration or even bluetooth/ipod integration kits.

Do you have a kit to integrate a Droid Bionic to the command system? Specifically, i'd like to be able to use Google Navigate and Maps and see it on the Command screen since Google Navigate is far superior to the stock MB system. My Droid has a mini HDMI output, so I'm thinking there should be a way to view my phone screen on the Command screen, no?

Yes, you would need the Video In Motion (VIM) module for the video. For audio you can use our iTronic Audio or iTronic BT + Audio. These two in combination would do what you want. It is sold as a kit, depending on the total options you want (bluetooth, iPod/aux/usb, video).

I do the same with MotionXGPS on my iPhone. However you need an HDMI to Composite video adapter, as there is virtually nothing in the automotive world that uses HDMI.
