Such an advanced vehicle manufacturer technology wise, yet for example the 350 (pre-facelift) i'm about to get shortly (which is an awesome vehicle btw) won't even have an ipod interface and from what i read unless it has COMAND there's no chance of a retrofit unless its via the aux and i heard some don't even have an aux to begin with...

What's up with that though, even my BMW has all of that in it... damn... The SLK is a great vehicle but i'm big on audio and that's one let down for me personally. /rant
Well, there are other options, they are just not ideal or cheap. Search the forums for "Denison" and you'll see some of them.

To be honest, I've not been impressed with the MB iPod kit. It works, but barely, and yeah, I've seen much better integration on much cheaper cars (not saying your BMW is cheap!). If I recall, though, iPod integration is an option on the BMW's as well, isn't it? I have a friend in the states who picked up a pretty basic Z4, and I though he was griping about no iPod goodness as well...
