2006 C230 IPOD/ aux help.

Hello.
I purchased a used 2006 C230 and in the glove box I found a Ipod 30 pin connector attached to a cable running out the side of the box. It was the Mercedes dealer who installed it many years ago. I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the ipod connector and make it a AUX jack? Perhaps by using a 30 pin female connector and a 3.5mm male jack on the other end of the cable I could plug something useful into this (Mp3 player, Bluetooth receiver, etc)?
Any thoughts or help?
Thanks
Tim

In addition, there is no AUX input in the glove box. Only items there are the CD changer and the IPOD cable. Think the AUX cable might be hiding behind a piece of trim or something?
