AUX input box on COMMAND system....

As I understand it, the COMMAND system adds an AUX input in the glove box. Is this AUX input part a separate piece that connects to the D2B Optical network? Or is it simply a couple of wires that go to the back of the COMMAND unit?

If it is a generic add-on AUX input that connects to any D2B Optical network, regardless of if you have the COMMAND or not, then it might be possible to get the AUX box without ordering the $2000 COMMAND system.

Its just stereo in (2 * coax) wired straight back to the COMAND system, nothing special or clever (sadly) ..

Pins for AUX input

Hey Richard which of these are the correct pins for the aux input on command. I think I will try to make my own aux input cable.

Connector C2 is where the wires connect, I belive pin inserts for that are 008 545 55 26 (although there are ones avalaible for smaller wires, I think those part numbers are posted in the C W203 class forum in the "putting comand on a coupe" thread.

The pins you need are :-
AF-R = pin 4
AF-L = pin 13
AF shield = 5
AF shield = 14

It looks to me like the jack they use connects the two AF shield wires together when the plug is inserted, if you are keeping the feeds seperate Id put 4 and 5 together for Right input, and 13,14 for left input


Now, you may have wiring there already that goes to a 4 pin white coloured reasonably large connector in one of the wiring ducts. If thats the case then you need the lead that goes from there to the aux socket, and Im sure theres a part number for that in the CLK part of the dealer's electronic parts catalog

The cable colors are yellow, black, brown and transparent.

Thanks anyway.
