Mercedes Benz announced their new built-in “iPhone Interface Plus” today which allows you to carry your scoial networks with you even when you’re in your car. Mercedes Benz’s “iPhone Interface Plus” access your iPhone’s Social Apps like Facebook and Twitter and display them right on your Mercedes Dash. Now this is something cool, you can update your status on your Facebook or write send a Tweet right from your dash.

It comes with some other common features as well which include voice dialing emails etc etc. Of course you cannot read your email while you’re driving but this new app will read them loud for you while you drive.

iPhone Interface Plus will arrive with the help of an upcoming Mercedes-Benz app designed for iOS, which, when ran on an iPhone and placed into the integrated area in the front cab of the vehicle, will fully connect itself to the car’s electronics system. This whole new system would be available in Summer 2012.

Bentley also introduced their 2012 concept Mulsanne at International Automobile Exhibition, Frankfurt which was loaded with iPod, iPads and even a Mac Mini. It seems like automobile companies are more inclined toward making their cars more “fun and cool”.
