I got my new e-class yesterday - a '55 plate E320 CDI Avanatgarde with Command.
I've just been quoted £456 including VAT from John Weir Mercedes in Aberdeen to fit an ipod kit and I thought this was pretty steep - anyone else done this and for how much??
Cheers

p.s. the car's awesome, how much torque???!

Hi Iain
I got a new SLK 350 last month and had to pay a similar amount. The problem is that MB still think of their customers as old school who will be happy with a tape deck
Thus the work done on a new S class to install iPod is to remove the entire dashboard.... costly!!! I hope that they will eventually catch on that we want the technology to go as far as entertainment as well as all the other innovations you get, like airscarf!
The system is fab though as you control the iPod from the steering whhl buttons and in the SLK the info is displayed in the small screen in the instrument binacle.

hey Jollygreen,
I have an 05 e class with command and my local audio dealer has fitted a nav tv ipod interface for £450 which brings all the ipod information up onto the command unit works really well for me.
I take it the one you are having installed is the mb version which only comes up on the clocks display?
Hope this is of some help.

Why does the official MB one only work on the small display and ot on the Comand screen? MADNESS!!!!I have an 05 e class with command and my local audio dealer has fitted a nav tv ipod interface for £450 which brings all the ipod information up onto the command unit works really well for me.
