20005 E500 ipod kit confusion

I've received inconsistent information about an ipod kit for my 20005 e500. Does an MB kit exist, or is it aftermarket ? If one (or some) exists, what is the cost , and how long does it take to install ?

20005 e500 wagon ipod possibilty?

Hi -
Sorry about the section - there's some kind pf logic to it... my mercedes guy says an ipod isn't possible to set up in an e500. He also said that its about $600 labor for installation of any mp3 unit (since the wiring needs to go from back to front. All true? I've spoken with an aftermarket rep, he says they have the right kit.
