99 C230k Aux In

OK ,, so i bought a fm modulator(didnt want to) as i got tired of searching for the poor little info for the 2 year model 99-00 aux input crowd,, as no one has made or asked anything about it

after i buy it and wait for a few days(losing the reciept in the meantime) i then go to install it and realize the antenna in on the benz is a different size than that of the damn fm mod i boughtl.. so now ill be having to look for a damn adapter.....maybe


my question is this,, i have a cd changer(fiber optic) that went bad and i really wanted to use that input ,, but an adapter for the fiber optic is 250.. not worth it

so then i thought,, i have NO tape deck,, there must be some input method for this,, for even as i do not have a tape deck,, all the head units are produced the same,, so i SHOULD have some sort of input where the radio would go,, and i COULD be able to hardwire in aux inputs....HAS ANYONE DONE THIS... or am i doomed for the ****ty quality of the damn FM mod. with 2 adapters


i appreciate the help,, my current project is at a dead stand still until i resolve this.....8-(
