C Adapter and C connector

I am in the middle of installing a comand in a CLK 500 and one of the instructions say to install the C adapter to the C connecto. Does anyone have a clue how to do this or what this means?

Thanks

Find the short cable with the 1 big connector and 2 little connectors (the two little connectors might already be plugged into the COMAND), and plug the big connector into the big connector that used to plug into the radio.

I figured out the c1 is the little connector and the C2 is the big one. But, I have a couple of issues.

Of the current radio plugs attached to the car (w209). There are two that are larger than the rest. One of those two large one plugs directly into the comand. The other one fits nowhere on the comand (it is the largest plug). I assume I am supposed to take the wires out of there and split them between the C1 and the C2.
Here is my issue. There are two brown wires on that big plug. Which one goes to the C1 and which one goes to the C2.

Also, on the C1 the brown wire goes into the pin 5 slot. on the C2, which slot does the Brown wire go into (I can't read the handwriting here on the instructions).

I think that is about it.

Thanks for the help.

He wrote something in handwriting on the instructions? I have the instructions and they seem clear, but then I know what is supposed to happen...

But yeah, give me a call...
