Ready to purchase your Ipod solution couple of Questions 1st, will my Iphone connect to it? It has built in Ipod that I've stored my music on.... Lastly when I went to your site it shows S class picture when I choose my 2005 SL600 model car?

Will it be turning off my Navigation as well as my CD stacker? Description basically states it takes the place of current CD stacker behind seat. What's w/Navigation questions? Will it be turned off while using Ipod too? Thank you!

We just show an example MB, not each model
It will work with any Apple product or android or ???...
It ha no effect on Navigation, but functionally replaces the CD changer. The single cd still works too.

Not if you use Cartronics Anystream. It let's you connect your iPhone/android via a Bluetooth connection. It's the exact way I'm going instead of installing Sat. With the iTronic and Anystream, you can wirelessly stream anything from your phone.... Love that.

Not sure Anystream will work on my 05' SL as it DOESN'T have the aux jack port in the glovebox or center console, unless it's underneath in the wiring buried or behind actual headunit? I'd def take Anystream route if I could find this port to hook into

The iTronic WITH the Anystream is what Vabene7 was talking about. You are correct, the 05SL does not have an Aux jack. However, if you install the iTronic, you have lots of options.

Ricker,
The guys at Cartronics told me when I buy the iTronic and Anystream, they will personally walk me through the install of pulling the Comand head unit out to pug in their iTronic module. They also told me it was a pretty easy install and I should try it with their step by step instructions over the phone......maybe that can be an option for you......

We love to that for people - frankly it feels good to help someone do it themselves - brings a sense of accomplishment for both of us!
