Actually an 8GB Nano is now available, and for the same price I paid for my 4GB last year!!

LOL.. My sales rep told me the same thing C / S thing. Plus... I still can't get them to tell me anything about the iPod connector - (Thank GOD for this forum)...
Although, they did destroy my airdam last week :-(

Hi i had MB's ipod integration fitted in my new (February 2007) A180cdi and it works so you don't need to have a COMMAND unit. Also my local MB dealer wanted £300! ($600 US) for fitting the unit which in the Uk costs £150 ($300). Eventually found a non MB dealer who fitted the unit for £150 ($300 US). The fit took about 2 hours maybe less and the owner/fitter told me it was real easy to do. In use pretty quick (80gb with about 6500 songs) but the small display can be difficult and the interface is nowhere as user friendly as the ipod (then again what is?). sound quality is excellent easily as good as the cd player (most music ripped at 320). Only one gripe the sound level is lower on this input compared to cd/radio so i can' t get it to go quite as loud as i would like. If you are in the UK i can heartily recommend my installer

Umm...you might have been able to get the ipod integration on your A180cdi without COMAND, but R171 SLK owners without COMAND can't. The Audio20's on our SLKs are different to the other Audio20s on other cars, and unless they're reprogrammed by Steve from MBenzNL, they won't even have an AUX input.

I don't have an iPod, but I seem to remember reading of people who had volume problems with the iPod and changed some setting in the iPod like "line output" or some such and then the volume was much better. You might want to look around the iPod menus.
