Where can I find an IPOD adapter that will work with the radio/navigation system of a CLK500 2003.


Thanks.

if you have comand there should be an aux jack in the glove compartment (not sure if it is in all cars). you can plug your ipod into that with a mini rca cable. heres one on ebay click here!

That cable actually doesn't work. You need a 1/8" plug on both sides and that still doesn't give you control over your iPod.

For comand 2 users with AUX input, here is a band-aid approach, but one that actually should work quite well. Plug this RF remote (http://www.engineeredaudio.com/products/remote2.html) into your iPod, connect to the AUX input, close up your glove compartment and simply use the remote to switch songs. Keeps the car neat as the remote uses radio frequency instead of the usual infrared. Doesn't do playlist switching, but at least you can keep your eyes on the road

Dension ICE-Link adapter should be available for MB soon (I hope). Meantime AUX and $3 cable do work good for me. Anyway, in case of trouble I have my stock CD changer ready.

from the auction...

This auction is for a new 1.0m PIVOT 1/8" mini-RCA.

The PIVOT is intended for use with DATs, personal audio players, and computer audio. This cable is causing smiles with its sound and its price.

iPod / iTunes users, and all the Windows based MP3 players too, you are going to dig this cable.

Quick features include silver alloy conductor in a concentric lay with virtually no cross-talk between channels, low capacitance, 100% high magnitude RF shielding and hermetically sealed termination.

I guess you could be right. The text is too confusing and the image shows something else: "If you happen to be the lucky winner, you can substitute it with a mini-mini Pivot cable of the same length"

Either way, the "list" price of $79 for a 2ft cable, it is slightly over the top...

Wolfman

BklynBenz

yeah that price is ridiculous

dbessa

Thanks for the input everyone...

Dema:

Can you be a little more specific about how you connected your ipod...
I have to remove the cd changer, buy what cables? how do I control the ipod?...

I would appreciate the help...

Tried to email you from MBenzNL's mailbox, but couldn't get it delivered to your mailbox for some reason.

About the iPod, you should add a cable running from the AUX to your iPod, but unfortunately I don't know which one... :p

As for navigation drives, yes, that is something Steve can do for you. His next planned CA trip will be during the second half of September... Give it a try and email us again at steve@mbenznl.com.

Greetingz,
