So I was checking out how to retrofit an AUX input to my merc since I don't have one in my glovebox, so I had some questions for you guys since i am an amature when it comes to mercs.

I found this video but i was wondering if i need to just buy a 3 cabled female AUX cable or do I need a Mercedes made one?

I was also wondering how I could program the AUX in since i only have the MP3, CD and radio options under audio. Do i need Star Diagnosis DAS Xentry? Are there any other alternatives like engineering mode?

I found these two which one comes with the cable, but is it the correct cable?

and this came with the coder too but does it really work?

Also wondering if I need some special connector to plug from my computer to the merc.

And last but not least, are there other low cost options (budget of maybe 100 euro) to get audio into my car, with some good quality audio, aka no bluetooth to fm transmittors?

My car is a Eurospec 2006 W221 S500 Lang and has NTG/COMAND 3.0 and is a pre-facelift ofc.


Would appreciate the help

 

I'm also looking for a solution. I'll let you know when I get it. I ordered a cable from these guys:

Hello, I never got a solution but as I understand you need to get a female AUX to connect to the center console and then code it in using star das xentry, after that you would have a working aux, just like the video i posted.

my solution became a Bluetooth to FM adapter as I decided the radio on my car is good enough and bought a quality adapter.

 

I got the cable and installed it. Also activated aux with star. So mine is working.
