Easiest Way to Add On Aux to W203
I have a 2002 C320 w/the factory head unit. I would like know the easiest way to add on an auxilliary feature, without having to solder/hack up the tape unit (b/c I don't have the skills).
It has been suggested that as an alternative, the cheapest, easiest way is to add on a wired FM modulator via the antenna. However, I have learned that MB uses a different antenna plug.
Can someone please walk me throug how to add an auxilliary feature or install a wired FM modulator. Please cite what parts are needed and include photos if possible.
Thanks,
Alan

Aux continued...
Unfortunately, the referenced aux install (did you check this out?
https://mbworld.org/forums/showth...od+integration) does not work on pre '05 models. Thanks for the input however.
The tape deck modification is an option, but not for unskilled hands. Other suggestions seem to be for a reasonable head unit upgrade to either the Audio 10 Becker 6021 (plug n play capable), or the Becker Monza (MP3 but no steering wheel controls and not fiber optic capable) with an auxilliary wiring harness available for about $20 more.
If anyone has other suggestions, please share them.
Regards.

C200K Jul 2004
Does this kit you speak of work on the AUDIO 10 CD (Becker 6021)?
I have a 2004 C200K and want to add AUX for MP3 capability without using FM.
Many Thanks
