DIY - setting up the AUX input for iPod, mp3 player, etc.

Hey, i recently signed up and I wanted to know about the Auxiliary input.
I'm not sure if his thread is still active but I wanted to inquire about adding this AUX In my Benz.
I went through all the pages on this thread but need to confirm if I can add this to my car.
First of all, I have a 2003 C230 Kompressor Sedan. This car has the Cassette player and a 6-CD Changer which is from Mercedes-Benz (Pioneer) located in the glove department.
I have a TEL and CD button on the player and I was wondering if I can use the AUX for my phone.
I looked in the glove department and noticed I had a circle for the AUX input to go through. I popped the circle piece and it looks as if I can add the AUX. But I read in this thread, some people with lower than 2005 did not have the cable harness to attach the aux cable.
So I was just wondering if I could add the AUX to my car as I have cassette player, 6cd pioneer changer and the hole for the aux cable in the glove department.

I Read that.
Is their a thread I can find to do that?
Also, will soldering a AUX input effect sound quality, disable functions or anything such on the player?

Thanks for that!
Also, it notes that it removes the tape playing functionality.
Do you by any chance know if this would kill my 6-cd changer player or just the tape? Because id still like to use the cd changer which works on 89.1fm transmittor

If someone were to do it for me, how much could it possibly cost me?
I'm in Canada, ON

Welcome
I believe you don't have the option to add AUX. You might be able to solder to the CD player output, before the preamp, on the internal PCB.

Thank you. It is not so important - if it's not possible with cable only. It is good to know this - now I won't waste money on item which can't fit my car.

has anyone ever thought about using the sat input...? my aux in located in the glove box is horribly undersensitive. I have my iphone 5 with the Vol maxed and the radio itself cranked high enough to here the "hum" of the speakers

2016 GLC 300 4MATIC (previously 2004 CLK CAB)
My new GLC300 2016 just arrived. There is no AUX 3.5mm input that I can find.
I am told all the new NTG 5.0 cars don't come with the cable. The previous GLK had it we tried it. I already bought an analog car kit USB A to 3.5mm cable, but no Aux menu appeared. I was hoping it would detect if I played on full volume. We also tried one of those PC soundcard sticks but it does have software for that.
If anyone knows any tricks - I feel this is just a software thing to enable it.

show us please!
hey can you show us how ur relocated it and everything? because i wanna do it exactly like yours!
Well here's a picture of my AUX line i rerouted it behind the center command console and put the input right by the ashtray. Personally I didn't like the AUX cord all over my passenger seat of my car. Overall I think it looks cleaner. If enough people request for pictures and step by step instructions i'll eventually post a thread.

Can anyone confirm what the blue connector is for? I'm digging around looking for a connector and the only one available is the black one with the one blue wire going into it. I don't have the disc changer in the glove box but when I hold down CDC on the stereo it does tell me AUX input active. Would it say that regardless of being prewired or not?
I did have an aftermarket stereo put in when I got the car in 2006 but it's been removed so I'm not sure if they moved it around but the only connecters in the entire passenger side are the ones in the picture. It can't be that deep into the car can it?
By the way my car is an 2007 C230, not sure if that matters.

hello
mine is 2006 but sadly doesn't have the CD changer in the glove box, When i hit the CDC button it shows AUX Active but i have searched for the white plug and couldn't find it :S
Is it possible that that car isn't pre-wired
thanks in advance
