audio cassette player with CLK320 NAV system
Hi,
I am one of those who listens to as many tapes as CD's.
So I really miss it in my new 2003 CLK320, which has a navigation system+6-disc CD changer (in the glove-box).
The dealer conveniently let me believe that a tape-deck could be connected from the glove-box, pretty much like the CD changer.
Unfortunately, now the only way to use a tape-deck is to hook-up to a walkman's headphone jack from a mini-jack in the glove-box. This does not allow play/stop controls from the console, just allows the volume to be controlled.
If I can add a tape player to the console unit, I'll be a happy camper!...
I would appreciate suggestions on if and how I can get this fixed.

The only external audio input for COMAND is that headphone like jack.

get a walkman with a remote control, either wirelessly or through a remote control, and you can control it from the outside......i dont know if that type of walkman does exist though....gluck
