iPod integration in Mercedes-Benz B-Class

CanadianDriver has published a look at the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class, which offers iPod integration. "Once the iPod is plugged into the car, it's automatically linked to the audio system and the driver navigates around the iPod menu ... using buttons on the standard-fit multifunction steering wheel. The central display on the dashboard, between the major instrument dials, provides the driver with all relevant menu and music track information - song title, artist and play mode. Songs can be skipped or repeated and volume is also operated from the steering wheel. Incidentally, hooking up the iPod does not cut out the existing CD changer because the interface kit is connected separately to the audio system."
