Thanks for the link. I am going to look into it, but I am not optimistic about my situation. I am also going to check out the glove compartment of the '05 SLK to see how it might hook up.
I am pleased that MB incorporated the iPod dock into its newer models. However, I am baffled as to why they removed the AUX jack from the '05 COMAND (or some of them apparently)-- the cost is miniscule and it greatly improves functionality.

So far this is what I have noticed has been deleted from my 2005 that the 2004's had. Anyone got more?
1. No memory interior rear view mirror
2. No heat and a/c air burst buttons on the middle of the dash.
3. No tilting right outside mirror on reverse.
4. No presents on auto use in center of instrument cluster.
5. No Ipod jack in glove box
I bet there is more.

When I get my SL600, I hope they get the memory interior memory back. I wonder if that I-pod kit will work in a 2004 SL? I have the aux jack in my glove box.

Right now I am trying to decide to buy one of the following: SL600, SL65, or a business. If the rumors are true, I may wait until the 4-piston V8 engine comes out.
