iPod kit

How do you get this thing to work...I can't figure it out for the life of me. I read all the manuals and they say hit the disc button to switch to the aux. When I hit disc nothing happens.

The salesman did it right away and I can't remember how he did it. HELP

Once you get the hang of the iPod Integration kit it really is a great option...at least IMO. I just love it, especially after having the dealership install the amp. Nice line balance with the Radio and CD player...

You can hit the disc button to get to the AUX?
I usually have to use voice command or the MM screen...

If it's the same as the W203, press & hold the disc or changer button.

C300PO: is that an OEM part?

I dunno. I just figured out how to do it through the MM interface and it's simple enough that way.

yes. My iPod Intgration kit line balance was lower than the Radio/CD (Audio 20). The dealership told me there was a SB concerning this and a OEM Amp can be installed at MB's expense. It works great. Perfect line balance now between Audio 20 Radio/CD/iPod.

The Amp is a MB SB fix at no charge to the customer. At least at my Dealership in Carlsbad California (North San Diego Coast)
