I have a c class 2013 audio 20
I have a android screen to fit problem is I have no aux and no ami socket anywhere
in the centre console I have a blank plate where aux should be and 1 usb nothing in glove box apart from the beaker satnav port the unit is the 4.5 grey screen its has bluetooth audio etc
so no physical ports or the opt in the menus
so need help to add one or can I use a usb to aux for the 5.0 as there is memory stick option it the usb to aux has a chip
or is there a way to connect such units via bluetooth
any help as this is driving me mad thank you
My W204 has the AUX in the glove box so I haven't personally needed to add one. I will say when I first started using it playing Spotify from my phone it sucked, the volume was so low it wasnt worth even using. I happen to try the Pandora app on my phone and such a difference, it sounds great. i have no idea why the difference.
I was looking to try and add Bluetooth to mine but gave up after seeing no empty harness space back there.
Have you looked on the back of the unit? I haven't seen it done on a W204 but have seen people say they added the AUX to a W203.
You likely don't actually need an aux connection. I installed an android system in my 2015 GLK that does not have aux or ami. No Becker unit either. As long as you can select Aux via the engineering mode, the Android system should work.

that’s interesting but on the wire harness there is a audio out from the android screen does this not have to be connected or is yours using Bluetooth . Thanks
My Krando aftermarket system also has an aux in connector. I just didn't use it. Before I purchased I contacted the company and they confirmed that I did not need aux in my car. Audio is fed through the main harness from the unit to the Harman kardon amp. Contact the company to confirm if it is possible. My stock system was NTG 4.7 which could be different from Audio 20.
I did a bit of reading on Audio 20 and it seems to be quite a bit more complicated than my NTG4.7 system. If you can't enable the Aux port via the engineering mode then I suspect some sort of hardware solution will be your only option. Unfortunately I cannot help with that.
Will go in to the engering setting see if I can activate it but with doing that I don’t have to physically plug it in then ? So confused why it doesn’t have a port I have Bluetooth audio and the navi port thing and mybe not put it in because old tech

No, I did not use any Aux connection as I do not have one. I merely activated the Aux setting via the engineering mode. I then set Aux as the audio mode for the Android unit. Sound is excellent.
