Ipod Integration kit installation

I have a 2007 s550 without a I Pod connection.
The dealer said it will cost about $500 to install the kit. Does anyone know how to install the I Pod kit, and is it a lot of trouble? I was thinking of buying the kit and putting it in my self (I have taken dashes out of cars before, but never a mercedes)
Thanks for any info. I may get
Ray

just a call out:

my ipod connector in the glove compartment works only with iPod; NOT iPhone.

if you plan to connect an iPhone, confirm that it will work before spending $500 on the connector.

installation is plug and play, no cutting, soldering or anything required, took me 15minutes to do it in my car...

but rember you got to have AUX option coded with sds if that feature is not open..

and remember ipod interface can ONLY be used on the steering wheel and the info is shown in the instrumentcluster not in the comand screen, but otherwise its a good system mine can play the videos from my iphone aswell and everything i payed like 300$ for the kit at MB in Sweden

I always complain about the iPod interface in my dad's 2008 C300, since it is totally locked out of the comand module. I'm so glad they corrected this in my 2010! You get full control and data interchange through comand in the 2010!!

My factory ipod integration works with both my iphones fine ( 3gs and 4 )

However, it is a **** system. If you could control it from the comand it would be another story, but you cant.

Just received the kit B67824567 (newest supports: charging on iphones and video). No instructions were included with kit. Other than pulling the comand unit, what did you need to pull to get access (panel under glove box, etc.?). Where did you mount the control box - it looks like it has a place for 2 screws and the kit also came with a ton of velcro.

Mine is an '08. Got it installed with little issue, but I really don't remember the details at this point
