GLS / iPod cable?
Just picked up a GLS 550. Is it supposed to come with a media cable for the iPod? Or no? Mine did not and wasn't sure if it's missing. Going to ask the dealer tomorrow but thought I would check here first.

Ours did not come with a cable. I use a standard Apple iPhone cable (USB to Lightning Adapter). This will also allow you to enable CarPlay.

Ok, thanks Joe. Yeah, I got my standard lightning cable to work. But was just curious if the car was supposed to come with a shorter black cable like on my E550. But if not, that's fine. Thanks!

No "media-cable" - use a standard Ligntning-USB - a 3 ft "flat" cable from Amazon works well when you want your handset plugged in but out/open on the console/passenger-seat/your lap...
