I put it together for Iphone 3GS but it fits Iphone4 just fine. As it was dark outside I took pictures of Iphone 3GS with Iphone4.
The setup consists of three parts:
Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel for Cable Attachment
Apple iPhone 3GS
915255
$39.99
ProClip Console Mount
2008-2010 Mercedes Benz GLK-Class
834270
$29.99
Griffin AutoPilot for iPod (purchased separately)
$25.99
There is a single wire that goes (tucked behind panel) to the glove box where it plugs to the accessory power and aux port.

Very good
Great. Thanks, but I need more details on this
"Griffin AutoPilot for iPod (purchased separately)
$25.99

How you connect power and AUX to this cradle? Why it is single cable? It is coming with cable? Also I didn't try but if you use AUX and somebody calls you can you answer it without disconnect AUX?

This is what is great about autopilot. There is a single dock connector at the base. You get the aux from the end that plugs into a power outlet. As far as phone calls, phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth. When a call comes in, audio is automatically muted. I like this setup a lot.
I searched for reviews for the autopilot and found a short one that will give you an even better idea what it s all about: http://schwarztech.us/reviews/griffinautopilot

Ok. What is " single dock connector "? You can plug power or AUX cable? You use Griffin AutoPilot for iPod because it is power and AUX in one conector? What If I just want to connect AUX. I dont need Griffin AutoPilot for iPod? Do you have picture of this connector on a bottom of dock station? Sorry for a lot of questions?

I am using the autopilot because it allows me to simply drop my phone into a cradle and to have the power and aux instantaneously. I do not need to mess with separate wires to plugin to aux and power up my device.
If you do not need power, then you need to find a 30-pin connector to 3.5mm jack wire to accomplish it and I have never seen one.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am more than happy to help.

a quote from the review link (http://schwarztech.us/reviews/griffinautopilot)worth noting: "A 3.5mm line-out jack allows you to run the clean, unamplified audio signal from your iPod Dock Connector to your car stereo or cassette adapter. This is the AutoPilot’s big selling point. Rather than have a bunch of cables coming from your iPod, you just have a Dock Connector. From there, the iPod gets charged and connects to your car stereo. A switch marked “hi/lo” lets you adjust the signal coming out of the AutoPilot. In most cases “hi” is for direct connection to car stereo’s aux jack, while “lo” is for use with cassette adapters."

However, it looks like they are now making cradles with a pass-through connector for cable attachment that is already built into the cradle. This pass-through connector will accept an external 30-pin dock connector of any size.

from www.proclipusa.com for the iphone4 setup you will need:
Item #: 834270
Item #: 516164
The above two items will get you a setup very similar to mine. I encourage to research proclip web site; they have two other mount options and at least one another cradle option with a pass through connector. My cradle fits bare iphone with no skins or bumpers, they have an adjustable version that will allow you to dock an iphone in a case.
From the proclip web site:
"Please note: You need 2 Parts to Mount Your Device on Your Dash.
Part 1 - VEHICLE MOUNT, specific to your vehicle
Part 2 - DEVICE HOLDER, specific to your device, such as the one above
Together, these two parts create your mounting solution"

I am not too sure about the difference between 854269 and 834270. It looks like 854269 is a little more raised, compared to 843270 and is mounted closer towards an ashtray. Mine is part # 834270. You can see from my pictures the exact mount location compared to the gear stick.
