Hey guys, I have this 06 S65 and I wanted to know how I should play music from my iphone in it. As of right now I just burn CD's and they work great. The sound quality is awesome but I wanted to know if their is another way? Aux cord? USB? Let me know what you guys do..

Here is what I am installing in my 2005 CL65. From my research it sounds like it will integrate very well.

I have a 2005 CL65 also, and am looking for a way to play music from my iPhone 5/ipod instead of CD's. Did you install this device you are talking about yet? How does it work?

Do you think it would just be better if I went to a car shop and ask them to do it?

That depends on how mechanically inclined you are. If you are not confident in your skills that might be a good option. I have a CL, not an S and no, I have not yet installed my kit so I can't give you any advice from experience. There are some threads on here you can search for like the one below may help:

The OP of that thread, Skylaw, seems to be very knowledgable and have a lot of experience with these Command systems. I am a very good mechanic/fabricator/tuner/ but this is my first Merc so I am just getting started learning about these German monsters. None of my last systems had any fiber optic cables, LOL.

If I get time I plan to dive into the install this weekend but I need to do a couple other repairs that are a higher priority like fixing the short in my drivers door wiring before I worry about the stereo.

I got an estimate from a local shop and they said 750$...I'll just stick to the CD's for now.

You can also burn a DVD of MP3's. It took me a couple of tries to burn one that would work and some songs will skip for the first few seconds but it's an option.
