As a new member I would be very grateful for advice on whether or not I can connect my iphone 5 to the Command system in my January 2007 SL500?
I had my previous iPhone 3 connected by the MB main dealer in Basingstoke, through the appropriate cradle in the central armrest, but as you may well be aware, the new phone is a different shape and will not fit into this existing cradle. Also the connecting socket and wiring are of differing shapes and sizes.
I have spoken to the main dealer, who were unable to provide any current advice as they informed me that the had not received any updates on potential connectivity from MB.
I am due to take my car to them for its B service next Tuesday, although I do not expect them to be able to provide any new advice.
I would obviously have preferred to be able to utilise the existing cradle in some way, having paid £250 for it less than 18 months ago. If not, so be it.
I look forward to hearing form you in due course.
Thanks in anticipation.
Peter.
