iPad to C203, how?

This is what I have, plus the 6 disks changer in glove compartment:


I am thinking of adding an iPad for SatNav and music server. How do I connect the iPad to the Merc's existing audio system?

I think the most basic would be thru the cassette player, but sound sucks and not being USB, it wouldn't charge the iPad. Any better way to connect them?

Thanks for helping.

<<Sorry for double post as I also posted it under C203 forum. Not sure how to cancel that one as I think this is the right forum to ask.>>

Your car's headunit looks similar to headunits in older MB.
google "becker radio ipod hack".
There's a way to add direct "Aux" input to such headunit. Once you have "Aux", adding any mp3/iPod/bluetooth gadget is easy.
