IPOD Integration?

I haven't seen anything on the mbusa.com site about IPOD integration. Does anyone know if the S550 will offer an IPOD integration kit? Also, for anyone who has an S550 now, or knows the answer, is there an AUX jack to at least plug an IPOD into?

I have not seen an AUX jack, but have not looked for one either. Nothing in the manual or the COMAND system about AUX.

There will be an IPOD kit, the accessories booklet says Q2 2006.

No iPod Jack.

I took delivery on Thursday of last week of my 550 and there is no iPod hook up in any way, no Aux jack or anything. I asked my salesman and he said the kit would be available "later" for around a grand. I have used the Card reader and it works pretty good but its no iPod.

There is a possible install of AUX jack and Video Jack. It is not included in the car.

The W221 has direct video input into the head unit. So if you have the video ipod you can use that too.

There is indeed an iPod Kit, the iPod Integration Kit (B6 782 4223) and the iPod Cradle (B6 782 4229), although neither is yet available.

Any one knows where the cradle is mounted?
