Default iPOD & 2005 C230

yet another iPOD question , I can't seem to find a definitive answer in these groups...

I have a 2005 C230 Sport Sedan w/ the upgraded Harmon Stereo (command) & I can get to the AUX setting by holding down CDC....I can't find the Aux input? some people say in the glove box, I see nothing? How do I get my iPOD into this deck? The iTRIP is a joke... thanks!!

Below MB world forum post will answer your question.

Basically, you have to buy and connect the AUX input cable yourself. (or ask dealer to install it)

Better yet, you can install OEM iPod kit.

Hello K1MOTORSPORT,

Can you give us little more info on the OEM iPod kit?
Like how much it is and how it's installed and so on.

I'm planning to get the $44 mercedes-benz dealer AUX connecter.

Thanks,

iPod kit is $299.99.
Holder is $14.99.

Good thing about iPod kit over AUX is you can charge your iPod.

do you have a link or a pic of the item. Interested in doing the same to my c230. Not sure if it would work with a 2006 model. I imagine it should.

Any parts number reference.

thanks

I'm reasonably adept @ this sort of thing, is the removal of the door & panel pieces difficult? screws? what kind of procedure there if possible would be helpful, I'm leasing & in no way want to mess anything up anyway!

BTW : MBZ is saying this Aux cable deal is a 2 hour job, @ $145/hr , no thanks [:@]
