where is the AUX IN???????
Hi,
I know there has been loads of posted on this subject but when I try to search I can't find exactly the right info.
Can someone tell me exactly where the AUX IN connector input wire is located and how I get to it, my car is a 2005 (W203) C200 CDI Avantgarde Auto with sports package, is a UK car so I'm guessing the US cars will have a very simlar layout with things just on the opossite side. also can anyone point me into the right direction as to where I can buy the AUX cable have made an enquiry at the MB dealer and they only now about the IPOD kit problem is I don't have an IPOD so I need the AUX IN.
Thanks!!!

The left pic is the aux cable stripped of the end connector (the connector that would be on that end would connect to the cable in the sill i.e. the right pic).
I just noticed you have a Eurospec car. If you are in the UK then you may not be prewired (all US cars are prewired). This means you probably do not have the connector in the door sill. If this is the case you will have to hardwire the aux cable straight into the C2 connector in the back of your command or Audio10 etc. (Now, thats assuming the set up is tha same on the newer systems...I'm taking in terms of pre-2004 MBs)
Diz382benz on MBKlasse was selling an aux cable. He may still have it.

I see no cables with white plug all I can see is a yellow plug with two wires and the funny thing is I have the little hole in the glove box just need to open it.
took some photos of the seal wire I know there poor pics but it may help.

The part number for the cable is A 203 540 61 07. You audio head unit must have aux in to use the cable. To test for this push and hold the CDC switch for two seconds. If the display screen shows AUX in ACTIVE, you have it.
The miniplug end of the cable mounts in the knockout you see in the glovebox. The cable runs down behind the panel in front of the door, then is routed into the door sill. There is a connector in the door sill that mates with the cable and carries the signal into the head unit.
Reach into the sill, and pull the wires up, you will find the connector in there. It is usually folded, and tucked in toward the front of the car.

I see, I have looked as far as where the door hinges are and couldn't see the cable do I need to remove the triangle shaped panel is it likely to be there?
Can anyone here confirm wether the 2005 UK C class has the aux in connector in the door seal and will the part no. A 203 540 61 07 be the same for the uk?
p.s if I press and hold cdc the head unit displays AUX ACTIVE.

Swale - I think they are finding them in the UK now.

It would help a great deal if one buys the cable first and then looks for the wiring second. You will notice that in EPC the page shown above indicates that the body harness is -805 (not valid for 2005 spec) - hence no C2 connector.

You can get this put into your car if you like but it is a hell of alot more work than simply wiring it into the C2.
I use this wiring method in all W203 pre-2005. Unless the car has a CD stacker from factory.

But as Miro has just informed us, there is no longer that connector (is that right Miro?)
