I don't know if this is the same device you are talking about, but according to this:
http://www.pac-audio.com/products/swi.htm a Mercedes is not on the list of cars it's supposed to support. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will be supported when released. I'll be interested in hearing your experiences with it when you install it. How will you map the codes that are output to be usuable with the computer? For example, it says it will ouput for Pioneer head units.
