We have that same radio in our 04 MB except its all black. No I-pod jacks and yes I went crazy for a few months trying to find the phone which was a 1500$ option??? It was an outdated phone anyway and we didn't have that (bought the car used). Nice looking unit but totally not what you need to run an I-Pod. A suggestion - don't get hung up on the trim ring on a replacement like I did...........you can always paint it to match the silver on your dash. I didn't realize that and went another route.
