Thanks guys, The reason i ask about the mini is at the moment i use the one ipod for the car and for everyother use i can think of for it but I'm thinking about picking up a mini cheap then getting a huge CF card and stuffing it in then i can put my whole music library in it and leave it with the car.
The way MB have set up the kit is not really a problem for me as it stands but i would like to get some control from the headunit itself for when others are in the car so I'm thinking about a swap, the Dension looks good because of the variety of interfaces and because i know they are a well established company but I'm none too keen on the UI with the disks for menu's setup and the fact that switching between it and the CDC involves a MOST reset that means totally shutting down the car (3 minutes after engine off) in the Merc and thats a PITA.
It's kinda odd the way the Dension works with the CANBUS, by design the headunit sends what it sees to the cluster so i would have thought track names would go automatically.
Anyways about the part number's our EPC is all messed up still but they should be stamped on the connector's so if you give the dealer those numbers and then ask for the associated pin's and contact springs you should be dandy, sounds like an interesting project so keep us posted just remember thats not a switched line.
