Comand 2.0 Bluetooth Music...
Figured I'd toss this out there for anyone interested in getting BT audio - I was able to get bluetooth audio (for music) working on my 07 ML320 CDI with stock headunit by installing a 30 pin iPod connector and
I'm using an iPhone 7+ as my source, and it sounds line I'm directly connected using the aux plug in the glovebox - and as a bonus, the steering wheel controls work as they would as is an iPod is connected! I've also got a BT puck installed for handsfree calling, and am happy to report that both music playback and handsfree calling functionality play nice. The music pauses without fuss when I receive or place a call - audio automatically switches to the MB puck for the call and once complete switches back to the bovee adaptor. Saying "Hey Siri" also works - with the music automatically pausing, the phone switching to the MB BT puck, and the microphone for the headunit doing the listening for commands.
I'll make a video sometime this week showing how everything works, but it has been almost flawless for the 3 months I've been using it. I say almost because every once in a while it will have a hiccup where I'll be playing music in Spotify and when I hit next will switch to a U2 song in Apple Music that came bundled with the phone (though I think this is my phone being silly)
Anywho, cheers!

There is supposed to a cable with the unit from what I understand. I would assume that justinwrock already had the old iPhone connections in the vehicle as this is how the Bovee 1000 connects to the car.
I personally am not an Apple fan and replaced my headunit to get my Bluetooth connection.
