Chats: 0 | Dan, is it a big deal to replace the roof controller to give us back the pre-facelift roof functionality? and at what cost? Maybe the smarttop people will get this figured out and I can kill two birds with one "chip", .... |

Chats: 0 | I just received the USB cable for the media interface, it cost me about $30US. IT DOES WORK PERFECTLY, I'm using a 16GB Thumb drive. Now I don't have to leave my iPod in the glovebox ![]() My dealer did order both the set of all three cables and the USB cable separately, both of us not knowing if they may be different. I just kept the USB cable as that is all I needed. I do love the new COMMAND with the Media Interface, it gives me many options for connectivity, USB, SD memory, MP3 DVDs, Video DVDs, CDs, etc. It also allowed me to copy my contacts from my PC into the address book. The "search and send" feature to send a location from Google or Yahoo maps to my car is also VERY nice. |

Chats: 0 | Hmmm... thumb drive... I guess better than iPods in my case. Did you try using an iPod? What's the "search and send" feature? I haven't tried viewing photos... |

Chats: 0 | The F30-USB cable is labelled A 204 827 03 04, I did use the iPod Touch, and that did work fine. I just didn't like the idea of laving my iPod in the glovebox for any length of time. "Mercedes-Benz Search & Send is a new and convenient way to plan your trip destinations ahead of time. Using familiar Yahoo! Local Maps and GoogleTM Maps web sites from the comfort of your home or office computer, you can search for a destination online, then send it right to your Mercedes-Benz using Tele Aid. |

Chats: 0 | This thread is good news indeed! I was one of the many who took a look inside the '09 glove box and thought to myself "universal media interface my arse". I don't like ipods much and prefer my scandisk player and usb thumb drive. When I saw an aux jack I actually laughed. Couldn't believe anyone at MB would think it a GOOD idea to convert digital MP3 files to an analog signal and back again when they reach the head unit. Too much sound quality loss right there. Thanking my lucky stars I can just order the female USB F30 adapter now, that is if I need to. My car was manufactured this month and will be here at the end of July, so it *might* have all 3 in it already according to a previous post since it was manufactured after May '08. |

Chats: 0 | Eddy's right leave the letter off. I'm not sure why M-B parts have leading letters but when doing a part lookup you leave it off. Maybe Dan can enlighten us.

Chats: 0 | So how's the interface with the new stuff? I remember there were complaints of the old iPod interface being pretty bad. Can you actually see a listing of songs and stuff? I think in the old one there was only one line of display . |

Chats: 0 | Yes, at least the UMI version that I have is good. I can search by list, artist, album, genre, ... Shuffle within a list or album or across the entire collection is also available. Search is done alphabetically using the phone keyboard. Not bad... What bugs me is the limited fixed display for song titles, both on the Audio HU and on the Dashboard display: not enough characters, no rolling text. And on the dashboard display a lot of lost space with the up and down arrows above and below the song title. Plain stupid this. I would have like to see artist, album name and song title all displayed. Minor rant though... I like the Audio20 with UMI and the iPod attached to this. In fact I hardly use the CD changer anymore... Cheers, Keroubim |
