Please do a search. A detailed pinout of the connections on the back of the Audio 10 has been posted on MBWorld.

maggie

ahmm i did...
does Audio 10 have AUX IN at all? :\

amdeutsch

Does it show an AUX-IN button on the front face?

maggie

i dont think so...

the front face is like this:


so i can't connect any sound source to this radio? :\
and to the Audio10 but with tapes...(instead of CD) can i connect?

if you hardwire it, you have to give up one of the functions such as AM.
it was done on BlakeP's audio30... not 100% sure on audio10.

@ maggie

All your questions have been answered on here already. In the mean time, here is a vid on what the Audio 10 can and can't do:

maggie

that wouldn't be a problem...(loosing AM)

... can you teach me how it was done?

Maggie, don't worry, I know how confusing this can get. Unfortunately you just can't loose AM, well, theoretically speaking you can but maybe won't be a good option (because is AM). Regarding a Hardwire for the Audio 10 I have no idea, I do however know something about the regular HU, haven't done it already but you can go to http://66.15.182.201/w203aux/. This will guide you some how to do this. In the other hand you can always use an FM modulator, no need for extra stuff. Once in the link you can visit the threads regarding this procedure. Please feel free to ask us any questions but also please search first just in case we already have respond to some of your concerns.

maggie:
to the left of the connector blocks is a port. looks kinda to me like it is for
fiber optic. what year is your car? AUX IN isn't easily possible for some
model/years.

maggie

raymond... thats where the radio antenna hooks up. it's a 2003 w203 with audio 10 (with cd-reader) ...

Fanito: thanks! that was a great great help!
going to search things about that fm modulator (i have no idea what it is...) but hardwiring it to the AM (Am doesn't really matter to me) would be so cool... i just have to find the pins of the AM in the board...maybe i'll get in touch with chrono ... he might help me on that.

thanks for all your help guys,

m- are the ports labeled not correct? (the pics aren't clear, but the rear photo of yours do not appear to match up with the w203 mod which is linked to by fanito.)

maggie

hi raymond!



well... i guess the big difference from this 2 radios is that little plug between the the radio antenna and the optic fiber. on my Radio (CD-Radio) they're both on horizontal side by side, on fanito link (this one):


the little plug is above the radio antenna... because it's a Radio with Tape player...
well i'm at the point when i need to open my radio, and find the pins that receive sound from AM...yes because i prefer loosing AM than CD function.

thanks again for everything...im gonna try to talk to chrono and see if he can give me a hand on this...

I am waiting for the d2b aux-in kit from the folks making the argos bluetooth for d2b cars. This kit allows you to replace either the CD changer or the phone with an aux in port. Then you can attach an ipod or mp3 or whatever else needs an input to the stereo.
