Anyone have a picture/specifications/connection diagram of the back of the 2002 C230 headunit?

Thanks.

Thanks.
This is from the Audio 10 CD that can be installed in the 2002, but
one would assume the pinouts are the same as the Cassette since
it's plug and play, no modifications of the connectors.

Cheers.

Thanks C230 Sport Coup.

I owe you one.

I was basically looking to see if I can somehow modify the cd changer connectors to analog so I could plug in my ipod. But since the DéA conversion happens inside the unit, I dont see how thats possible.

Thanks Anyway.

You can buy a device that does that....
I think it's called Dice or something, but the cost is rediculous.
Ah here it is...

Have you seen the thread where you can modify the HU to accept an aux in,
in place of the tape? You have to cut some traces etc. Solder wires.
It's here somewhere.

Yikes....$469!!
I didnt like the idea of cutting up the insides of my head unit.....so the denision ice was my preferred option...but after looking at the price tag, im better off opening up the head unit.
Thanks for the link.
