Acknowledging the Apple iPhone’s growing influence as a
leading-edge mobile communications tool, especially with the recent
introduction of a 3G version, Mercedes-Benz has made a new cradle specifically
for the iPhone, to be installed across most of its current models.
Located in the center console, the new Apple iPhone cradle
allows seamless switching between telephone and audio functions. This means you
can listen to your favorite music on your iPhone, or make and receive calls –
all these via the multi-function steering wheel controls. The vehicle display
indicates the phone status or music functions.
In
addition, you enjoy a better mobile signal reception as the iPhone connects to
the vehicle aerial when plugged into the cradle. At the same time, the phone’s
battery automatically recharges in the cradle while you drive.
