Did you try with the old 30 pin cable with a lightning adapter?

Pick up a Tune2Air Bluetooth audio adapter on EBay. No cable business and you'll retain the same controls as a wired connection.

Agreed, I recently fitted a Tune2Air and my I Phone 5S works great via bluetooth. See my post on this

2015 S550 and 2014 GL 550 gone but not forgotten: 2006 ML500
So with the Tune2Air can you use the controls in the car or do you have to use the iphone itself?

You can use the controls in the car. Same as a wired connection. You can even access your custom ITunes Radio stations from the Playlist menu on COMAND. The only issue I've had is that sometimes the song title and artist display info gets out of sync if you hop around a lot.

+1 to the Tune2Air. I'm using both the Tune2Air and the MB phone Bluetooth adapter at the same time.
