Hi all,

Just picked up my new 2008 W219 CDI, lovely it is too.

It is a facelift and has NTG 2.5 COMAND. It has an ipod cable in the glovebox, all appears to be factory.

I plugged my old 80gb ipod (5G) into it, MB logo appears on the ipod, but under the Audio section there is no 'media interface' section which I think there should be. If I select 'Aux' and there is something already playing on the ipod, the sound will come out of the stereo, but I can't operate anything on the ipod.

Any suggestions?

Your car has the dealer fit Mercedes iPod kit. Media Interface (option 518) was an option. It can be retrofitted.

You operate the Mercedes iPod kit from the steering wheel controls and the track name is shown on the instrument cluster. Its clunky but you can select tracks, artists, albums etc.

Ah interesting, I didn't look at the cluster, will check that and try again.
