Mercedes iPhone Dock


Confession time - I put in my order for a new 3G iPhone yesterday, so only a month or so to go before I get my hands on (please, please let the exchange synching work like a dream). Obviously, Mercedes were thinking about me when they announced this little toy yesterday - the iPhone dock. It charges your phone, hooks it into the phone system in the car, and allows you to get at your music from the hifi. Now all I have to do is work out two things - can they retrofit it to existing cars, and can the wife survive without the CD space....

well, at work, so that they can put the order in on July 11th like everyone else... They won't even let the corporate accounts pre-order, which kinda sux

Hi Aaron,
I get my new Mercedes CLC in Oct, which comes with the new bluetooth NTG 2.5 upgraded sound system. I too have an iPhone and will be upgrading it to the new 3G phone when O2 let me put my order in. I didn't get the phone pre-wiring when I ordered my Merc so do you think I will be able to use the iPhone dock?

Hi Lorenzo

Your best bet is to call your local dealer and see what he says. I haven't been able to confirm if they can retrofit this back into cars that didn't order it new yet. I presume they should be able to, but I'm guessing it depends on how complicated the wiring is etc. Sorry I don't know more
