help with bluetooth audio?

Hi there - I actually have a w216 but this board gets more traffic and I assume they are identical.

I have an 08 with an old style iphone cord in the glovebox - what do I need to buy to get this to work correctly? I am just looking for a link to the correct OEM part - is this what I need? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-BEN...pXNgoA&vxp=mtr

I don't have an iphone or an ipod - just trying to get my samsung phone to stream to the stereo. Being able to control the tracks from the steering wheel/get metadata would be ideal. can the oem adapter piece achieve this?

The Tune2Air physically connects to the ipod connector pigtail from MB. I had to also buy a lightning adaptor from Apple to get my wife's iPhone 5 to connect to it.
