iPod Integration on 05 C55
Getting a 05 C55 soon, want to know if there is an iPod Integration kit? Where to buy and if there is any good instruction I can find online (I tried to search on this forum but not much help) Any help appreciated.

I setup the AUX input in my'05 for connecting directly to my ipod. The sound quality is great, much much better than those FM Transmitter :v I think it is worth to post the instruction and some pictures here since many people have asked me how to do it. The installation is very simple, everything is pre-wired(not sure if it is the same for pre'05). It took me less than an hour to complete. Thanks to cc4469 and JeT, this would not be possible without their information
1. You have to get the cable harness (A 203 540 61 07) from a MB dealer. I paid US$44 from a dealer here in Northern CA.

2. Remove the right front door sill, the A-pillar, and locate the pre-wired connector.

3. There is a little circle inside the glove compartment. Push it with pressure, it can be pop out easily.
4. The hole is for fitting the AUX-plug of the cable harness.

5. Remove the plastic cover on the right outside the glove compartment.

6. Put the AUX-plug into the hole and wire the cable.
7. Wire the cable on the wall below the glove box and connect it to the pre-wired connector.
8. Active the AUX Input (by passing the CDC button for couple of second), connect the AUX-Plug and test it with your ipod or some audio input.
9. If it works, put everything back together and you are done!
10. You may now want to buy a wireless remote to control your ipod. So, you can select the music freely inside the car

Same for iPod Integration?
If I already have the AUX connector, is it that I just change that with the iPod integration plug? Do anyone know what is the item number for the iPod Kit in US?

B 67 82 4213 (part # is international)
completely separate from AUX plug and 100% better sound quality, not to mention steering wheel control and HU display

if you look at my post earlier there is a link to the command removal Step by step. The Ipod kit is plug and play from there. No I didn't do my own. Had a cellphone installer friend do it and I'm glad I did. Worth the $100
