The long awaited Aux Port photo!! I've seen lots of requests for a photo...so here it is!

You can't miss it - I circled it in yellow.

what does that do...sorry new to this interior stuff

It's an additional audio input that comes with Command. You can plug in your portable MP3 player, CD Player, etc.

Did that COMAND video come with your car? If It did, yet another item of contention I need to discuss with my dealer...I hate it when the dealer knows best what not to include with your car on pickup...

That isn't a COMAND video. That box is what the Navigation CD comes in.

Yes, I also bought the whole Command CD collection which came in a nice leather-like cd case with the MB logo.

Thank you for posting picture!
I put my air pressure gauge (silver thing in our glovebox) on pen holder in the glovebox =)

SFC320

Ahh Hahhhh! That is a pen holder??! I always thought that was part of the clasp that closed the glove box. Too cool.

I just found the sunglass holder the other day. So many cool features

I don't think it is a pen holder. I think the intended use is as a tire pressure gauge holder.

Does anyone know if the AUX port is used to hook up the CD changer if you have one, or do they hook it up by some other means? Has anyone actually used the AUX port yet? What is the sound quality like?

awiner

The factory CD Changer runs through the fiber ring, so the simple answer is NO, the Aux port is not used for the factory CD Changer.

ok guys, i tried using the aux port with my mp3 player... and i got no audio... i tried it with a cd player, still no audio... is something i'm missing here? or do i need a special plug for the port??? help, i want mp3 in my c class

SFC320

Did you select the AUX port as a source? I think you have to hit the SVC button and select it from there. I don't think it will automatically detect that there is an input coming thru the port.

xc240x

i did select it, still no dice

I just tested it today with a portable minidisc player. Did you turn the volume WAY up? I had to turn the volume up substantially louder than the volume I use for the radio.

xc240x

i turned the volume full blast

xc240x

maybe i'm using the wrong wire or something... i don't know

SFC320

Did the Command have a message taking up the full screen saying something like "Auxiliary Input" ?

I knew that when I saw that it should have been working. It was at this point that I turned up the volume.

xc240x

yeah it did say that

SFC320

I guess you should try a different cable?? Make sure it is firmly inserted on both your player and in the Aux port.

xc240x

well, i'm gonna buy a different cable tom. then... check back with you then, thanx

xc240x

i bought a new cable, tried it again, and still nothing... time to go to the dealer guys... oh well, go there so often i have my own parking space already... post back soon
