Mercedes Uses iPhone To Power New Car Interface

Mercedes has just unveiled some awesome new iPhone integration at this years IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt, reports 9to5Mac. The new concept, called iPhone Interface Plus, uses a free App Store app to turn the iPhone into the Mercedes’ main media hub.

The new iPhone Interface Plus will be available as a retrofit option in every Mercedes Benz released from Summer 2012 onward. The iPhone is concealed in the glove compartment, and will be completely integrated into the vehicle’s electronic system, using a larger display on the vehicle’s dashboard to control and view multimedia content with as little distraction as possible.

You can see the entire concept in action in the below video, and the official press release can be read over at 4-traders.
