AUX in on W203 radio modification complete! - Page 4

MP3 interface for W208? Scosche FMMOD02 Universal Fm Modulator

I installed one of these in a year 2000 Jeep TJ, and would like to do same on my CLK.

This is not a transmitter/broadcaster. This is a hard wired emitter, patched in-line of the radio antenna cable.

Has anyone installed/used one of these in a W208 year 2000 ? Seems I hear something about fiber optics being an issue with some mp3 units, or something. Any info?

Here's a link to the unit:
Universal FM Modulator for iPod & MP3s and Auxiliary Input Devices

Thanks

Vivaitalia, Sorry for posting on an old thread but...

THANK YOU for posting pictures and providing the normally closed option to this mod!

I just did it last night and I couldn't be happier. This is arguably the best modification this c320 has ever seen! Sound quality is excellent as well for anyone else wondering, and I also wanted to thank you for saving me ~290-400 dollars, which is what those IPOD integration kits are running!

thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey guys I got a c320 and I'm wondering about the first step which is taking the radio out of the dash. If you guys could help me with that that'd be awesome!

Gentlemen,

Thank you for this great DIY. I completed the AUX input retaining the tape functionality.

I want to do that too..
I newer remove the radio power. Do I need the radio code?

flomofo · 12-30-2011, 01:05 AM

For the life of me I can not figure out which one is tab 1 and tab 3....

Can anybody help me out, is it just the ones listed as Ipod in and out on the closed circuit example?

I just want to do a simply open circuit aux cable with a dummy tape in the cassette player.

^ Just look at the pics from the OP. The 2 "iPod In" points are the ones you want.

Thanks I found it and tried plugging it in but got tape stuck, gonna have a computer shop do it for me and just remove the tape functionality as well.

The white tab holding my ribbon down is broken on one side and I think that caused a short when I put the radio back in trying to return it to stock.

Will I still get the PROD code with the ribbon taped up with electrical tape to avoid the short as it wont stay in its socket solidly enough to avoid the PROD code.

Hoping to add an amplifier and an aftermarket channel summer like the MTX RE-Q to add an aux socket that way.
