If you haven't already heard, Apple announced yesterday it's newest addition to the iPod line, the iPod nano.  What does this have to with Mercedes you ask?  Simple.  Although not a widely publicized fact, most new 2005 Mercedes models have iPod integration available as an option.  Simply plug your iPod into a connector in your glove compartment and you can control your iPod through your car's stereo with the steering wheel buttons.  There's even a multifunction display in the instrument panel so you can see what's playing.

If you haven't heard of iPod integration in your Mercedes, check out the official Mercedes-Benz iPod information page, or you can visit Apple's iPod your Car page to see a list of models that support iPod integration.

If you're already rockin' out with an iPod in your Mercedes, make sure you check out the new iPod nano at Apple's website.  The black one is pretty slick; I definitely have to get one to match my baby.
