My 2013 has the iPod integration and--to date-- I've used an iPod (bought off eBay with a bad connector for nearly nothing) and I have an FM transmitter connected to a BT receiver. It kind of works, but has all the problems you associate with an FM transmitter.
However, I just bought a new SLK300 (traded an SLK230, long story) that is old enough to have BT phone integration but not audio. It does, however, integrate iPod. From what people say, this is the best available answer for that: http://smile.amazon.com/Bovee-Wireless-Bluetooth-Interface-Integration/dp/B00B52LLJ6/
It occurs to me this ought to work on the bike as well. Plug it into the iPod cable and you are set. Apparently, with an iPhone it does the play list. With Android it just plays and lets you do the pause/forward/backward but that's fine.
Anyone try this? I'm going to and I'll report back. Probably going to buy one. Try it on the bike, and if it works, buy another one with the first one in the car. If it doesn't work, it should still be good on the car.
Wow, that was my 100th post.
