I'm looking to possibly buy a MB. I'm rather worried about being able to integrate an iPOd into the thing. I want to hook it up to an iPod cable. It should stay charged, the sound should be good and I should be able to play it on the car speakers, choose playlists and shuffle them and skip to the next track. Playing by artist would be good as well.

What are the options for this in a 2004+ CLK, SLK, C, E, etc. THanks.
