I am an Android user but want deep integration in the car. I want to be able to control Spotify through the car without touching the phone. Right now I can stream over bluetooth but I have to pull out the phone and start the app, select radio/playlist, etc. Too tedious.

I want to buy an ipod or iphone and connect it in the iphone slot and get a data plan for it and just leave it there, it will be for the car only.

Does anyone have experience connecting their iphone in a Mercedes E350 (2010 or 2011)? Does it give you all the functionality, like selecting albums, shows the track and album art on the display, etc?

Thank you for any replies.
