My 08 ML350 has the ipod connection in the glovebox. Is there a way to connect my iphone to that connection so that I can play music from my iphone?

Not as far as I am concerned. I bought an adapter to plug into my old Iphone 6 and no luck at all. I was shopping for a GLA series yesterday and saw one in a 2015 GLA250...can't believe MB hasn't removed them in favor of USB connections (like in the newer GLA series).

kombifan, do you have one? If so, is the sound diminished at all?

Not at all. It’s great.
it is the same quality as any Bluetooth streaming.

Its worth the money to get the car pro. I tried the cheaper duo which worked via the aux. I ended up hatingit.

The carpro maintain the steering wheel button functionality and the next buttons work as well on the command. It doesn’t always show the correct titles from Spotify but it’s almost always close. It works 🙃.

Mercedes did sell the exact same thing, but it's 400+ from your parts counter.

Personally - I would recommend the Bovee - comes w/cable to plug into glovebox connector - works great:
