New Ipod Interface Cable
I just purchased the updated cable for the existing ipod interface in my W221 that will make it charge my iphone.
Does anybody have the procedure for changing the cable?
I'm hoping I can get away with just removing the glove box, changing the cable, and then reinstalling.
Thanks

you do not have to remove the glovebox. instead you remove the command (the CD drive) from the center dash. to do this you pop the lower trim panel off and remove 2 T-20screws. then pop open 2 screw covers on the top of the command and remove 2 more T-20 screws. then the entire command trim and door comes out. next unscrew 4 more T-20 and remove command. pull the command out and behind it you will find the ipod module. reach to the right and you will feel where it enters the glovebox.
just unplug the cable from the ipod module and pull out from the glovebox. then feed the new one in and hook everything back up.

The cable works and my iPhone now charges when connected to the ipod interface.
Thanks again for your help.[/PHP]
