Default ipod integration in facelift model

Hi

First post here - hoping someone can help. Picking up my new SLK on Wednesday. Spoke to a couple of Mercedes garages before I ordered it and they claimed they could integrate an ipod into it even though it didn't have the Command stereo. They are now backtracking on this and saying it might not be possible. I really need the ipod integration and wondering if anyone can confirm that it can be done without command. Or if it can't - what are my options to be able to get ipod integration??

Many thanks

Martin

In the US Ipod integration is standard with the premium pkg I. Not sure about other countries.

Chris - I have a friend who has confirmed that the Denison GW500 will work in a facelifted R171 with A20 headunit. I've not heard for him since he ordered it, but I'll see if I can get him over here to respond...

Hi

Thanks - I guess I'm really trying to find out if there are any official Mercedes ways to get it done. Can you retro fit Comand through a Mercedes dealer? What about this Universal Media Interface thing?

Thanks

Martin

1] Retrofit - Yes, but it's damned expensive - to the point where it's better to just find a car with COMAND.

2] UMI or MM option is *supposed* to be available without COMAND.

I'm not a facelift owner, and the info seems to be sketchy at best, so I'll defer to the other here. I know that in the UK you can order the "MP3/iPod" interface without COMAND
