With this iPod adapter the up down (left side) controls the song selection. The song playing is displayed on the center gauge info area. This will not help if your up/down button is malfunctioning but it does allow control from steering wheel controls

Hello,This adapter should work with your 2008 E-Class as long as it has the (Audio l) Mercedes-Benz iPod Interface system.Thank you for your inquiry.JohnMercedesBenzCollection

It fixed same issue on my 2006 C55. Apple changed power specs on newer iPods so a newer iPod will not charge on an older adapter. Either get an old iPod or this adapter.

We use this adapter with our iPods in our Hyundai Accent and we can use the dash controls. I don't know about the wheel controls as our car does not that. It tells the name of the song and the album/singer name on the radio dial. Works great highly recommend!

Yes. I was experiencing the same problem. This cable splits the USB (power and control) and RCA mini (audio), and runs them through a chip. You end up with fine audio through your vehicle, control over your iPod through the iDrive controls, and save $$ by not purchasing it through BMW. This product works great!

This will work perfectly. I had the same issue on my Mercedes, and my Nissan Maxima. The problem is that the ipod integration kit in the cars is designed for the older versions of ipod, and iphone. This issue rectified the issue in both my vehicles and makes it compatible with all new models of Iphone, ipod. If you have a first to third gen ipod it will no longer work, but I dont think anyone owns these anymore, and if you did, just unplug the adapter and use as normal.

I bough this for BMW 125i with standard head unit but it does not work. Head unit requires to recognize the iPod connected to the wire before it switches from AUX to IPod mode. The Bluetooth receiver doesn't seem to emulate itself as an IPod. I have bought to adapters (this and another brand) and neither works.

Uhhhh, it depends on your situation. You can't control the iPod through the 3.5 mm cable. If you can connect the USB to a stereo and that stereo is controlled by a steering wheel then I imagine you could control an iPod from your steering wheel using this cable assuming you had stereo-iPod compatibility. But if you could connect this iPod to your stereo why would you need the 3.5 mm jack? (Maybe to play audio through a device other than the stereo?) I pulled apart my cable and can see that the data pins are connected (30-pin to USB).

I doubt it, I've only used the iPod interface so far and I have both steering wheel and on screen controls in my vehicle. The only thing that works correctly is the volume button. Every time I turn off the car I need to disconnect my iPod and reconnect it, to get it working back to where it was when I turned the car off. The installer I used told me these only work about 25% of the time, and rarely work as advertised. He was spot on with mine, it works to get sound out, but that's about it. I would look at other options, the only reason I didn't return this is that I paid to have it installed.

My IPOD's are the earlier ones I'm not sure what generation and the unit does charge them. If it don't charge yours I would just return it.Hope that helps

I never used to sync on my computer, I only try to use in my car but it doesnt charge and doesnt sync my ipod to control it with the radio and wheel control

I had the same issue but you go into the settings and set it up to work. Should go to the steering wheel icon if I'm not mistaken.

I had the same issue but it was an easy fix. Get the owners manual out. You have to program the steering wheel buttons yourself before they work.

You need a mount and a wire harness adapter to hookup the radio. You will also need an adapter if you have radio steering wheel controls and wish to keep them. All of these are vehicle specific and shouldn't run more than $75 for the three. If you plan to run an Ipod DON'T buy any of the hookups that are for sale here, just go buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm (male to male) cable and a USB to Ipod cable from Walmart or wherever and use those. It was the only way I ever got mine to work.

From what I know so far is that it works differently on different vehicles. My 06 scion with the factory pioneer will charge it but if you leave it on and shut off the car, it sends the radio into error mode when it's restarted. You have to disconnect it and replug it in. On the old nano I had, it worked great. Apple didn't help with the new model.

Yes, it will work with your steering wheel controls and factory plugs.... Thanks,Chris (951)538-1094

I don't know if this one is specific for your car, but yes this would make your steering wheel controls work again. For how long is a different story. This one started not working correctly about three or four months after installation.
