Hi this is how you can control Ipad with mercedes factory control.
1. You need a Ipod hookup. ( comes with factory hookup in glove box.)
2.You need to buy Bluetooth reciver. around 30 dollars. (If there's one thing the I pod has going for it in comparison to basically every other out there, it's that the accessory market is just brimming with new Made for iPod gizmos, but for those of you non-Apple owners out there who yearn for an iPod Hi-Fi or one of the other bazillion speaker systems tailored specifically for Apple's cash cow, you can commence thanking your lucky stars. ANYCOM has unveiled a Bluetooth receiver / protocol converter for any device that supports Apple's iPod, which takes any tune streamed over A2DP and plays it through the iPod speaker system, regardless of the type of media player / cellphone you're using. The tiny (black or white, obviously) device operates on Bluetooth 2.0 and accepts music from any A2DP-enabled device as well as controlling functions from any unit supporting AVRCP; users simply click the device into the accessory's dock adapter, pair it with their A2DP source, and stream away. While we're admittedly enthused about such a device, it is a bit shocking that something similar hasn't come along sooner, but regardless, ANYCOM's FIPO should hit mass production in mid-February and run you about $99.)
but dont worry. You can find this item lot cheaper. around 30 dollars.
3. You need to install bluetooth reciver to I pod connection in glove box.
4. Turn the car on so reciver can power up.
5.Turn the ipad on go to settings.
6. On settings click on to blutooth.
7. Click bluethooth on.
8. I pad will find the bluetooth device.
9. Click on to found device and enter pass word.
10. Pass word is 0 0 0 0.
11. Now you are connected with factory control.
12. Now you can control Ipad music, movie, pandora and you'cell phone.(I'll post other devices)
13. Amazon has it for 110 dollars. that is too much. Type in anycom in amazon search and you will
get detail about the device. I can get it for less than 50 dollars.------------------------------------>>>
