Mercedes first to offer complete ipod integration

Quote:

MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple® and Mercedes-Benz USA today announced the iPod® Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz, making Mercedes-Benz the first automaker to provide full iPod music navigation for drivers to listen to their entire iPod music collection through the Mercedes-Benz audio system, as well as select their music using artist, album or playlist with the multifunction controls on the steering wheel and the integrated multifunction display on their instrument cluster. The iPod Integration Kit for Mercedes-Benz will debut this April in the US with the newly redesigned 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and for most other 2005 and 2006 models later this year.

I was wondering how long it would take for this to happen. I always figured you could have a small computer in your car to store all the music you wanted. I had this idea before iPod though.

Me and my friends were thinking about it 3 years ago. How we could get a harddrive in our cars so we could listen to MP3s inside. :winkwink:

yep, looks very cool. and i think bmw had a line in for an ipod, but you couldn't actually control it directly from the steering wheel or on board computer (like you can with the MB).

BMW released this last year and you can control it through the steering wheel.

Yep - I don't have that exact setup - but my whole system is by Alpine. Installed it 3 days after it came out. 100 times better than the piece of shit BMW setup...

I wanna see what this Mercedes setup looks like tho..
