Any news on iPod integration kit for 2005 E55? - Benzworld.org

I got my 2005 E55 Wagon in April and was told that the previously announced iPod integration kit would be available "very shortly". It is now 6+ months later, and I still haven't heard a peep. I have an accessory plug-in in the glove box just waiting. Anyone know of a time frame before the kit is available?

The iPod kits for the W211 are available, but our experience is that it's not available in LARGE quantities... yet.

Just ask your local dealership when you can get one. Or you could consider contacting MBenzNL and have one installed during one of his Chicago visits...

got mine installed about two months ago. Just ask your dealer to order one...don't wait for them to call you.

I've had mine about a month. It took the dealer 3 weeks to get it. It's nice to have easy access to all my songs. However, you know how you have to turn the iPod volume all the way up so that it's half-way decent coming through the radio? It doesn't get any better with the kit.

My dealer wanted $895 to install. $295 for the equipment and 4 hours labor. Seems high and may not be worth it.

How About on a 2003 w/ COMAND? Been waiting for the iPod kit as well as an aftermarket Sirius tuner that would plug into the factory harness via an adapter. Does anyone know of such things?[?]
