I collected my new 2012 C63 a week ago and have finally got the correct iPhone 4S cradle with media interface cable. Apart from the phone being connected to the car's roof antennae (presumably for better reception), what actually is the advantage of having such a cradle? Thankfully Merc gave the cradle to me but if I had paid £250 for it I think I would feel pretty aggrieved. Before the cradle arrived I was happily linking my iPhone to COMAND via the normal bluetooth link and notice no changes since I got the cradle. I realise you can search through your songs by artist, album, etc if the phone is in the cradle and you can't when playing music through the bluetooth link but I have all my music on a 32gb SD card so don't use this facility. Anyway, have I missed something?
Incidentally, I've also noticed that when searching for a particular artist on the SD card, you can scroll through quickly using the alphabet tabs but this facility isn't available when searching through the iPhone in its cradle (you have to scroll through every artist).
