3 quick AUX cable setup questions
Hello everyone!
I have just recently purchased a 2006 c180
Been surfing the forum for the last 2 days and calling around but I am still slightly confused and stuck.
I have a few questions regarding the whole AUX cable setup.
1. When i hold down on the CDC button, it says AUX INPUT ENABLE. Now does this mean that all I have to do is buy an AUX cable to connect to my iPod? (Skipping the whole peeling back the passenger side door panel stuff?)
2. Do I need to order a special AUX cable from a MB Dealer or can I just buy any AUX cable from a regular shop?
3. Is the AUX cable port always hidden in the glove compartment? And if so, where is it exactly
Please help
Cheers

luckily for OP, i did though. took me forever to figure out a quick 5 minute install going through all those pages.
yes, your car is ready to go. all you need to do is buy the cable and install it. the hard part is finding out the part number. for my 2006 c230, it was A2104405005. it may or may not be the same for you. once you figure it out, head on over to your mercedes dealer to request it, or buy it from getmercedesparts.com (where i got mine).
yes the port is in the glove compartment, but i rerouted my extended audio cable around to the cup holder.
by far one of the best mods ive done for my baby

Everything you just said was also said in the first 4 posts of the link. The point of the search button is to not have repeat threads like this one that come up with the same exact questions that have been explained many times. Its really not necessary to read it all when you can just search for the key words of your question and your good too go. Also there is no hard part about finding the part number at all. The part number is A 203 540 61 07 nothing hard about it...
you dont even figure that out on the first page too, since the first few pages were made in 2004. youre a pro here and i really respect all your knowledge (i read all of your posts) but really, the right answer isnt always a link to an old thread. give the new guys a break once and a while, including myself. i still got a lot to learn too
