Audio system aux input?

Is it possible to connect an MP3 player to the Audio 50 system via an auxiliary input? I have an Apple iPod that I want to play through the vehicle audio system via a direct connection instead of a cassette adapter or RF coupler. Any suggestions welcome as the dealer can't help.

Hi, norbury. I think I read somewhere that we can't play MP3's on our system, but I don't know if there is an auxiliary way to do it or not. I really just wanted to welcome you to our board! It's good to have you with us!

Thumbs up

If you have an AUX port, yes you can. Actually this is what i do in my C320 with COMAND.
Let us know how it works for you.

Yes, that's what I am trying to find out. Does the Audio 50 system have an auxiliary input? It's not mentioned in the user manual.

Auxillary Input

I believe it is a feature included with Command equipped cars only. My previous CLK55 had the jack inside the glove box. I have the DVD Nav preordered. If it ever gets installed, I doubt they'll install a jack in the glove box but you never know.
