Sorry to confuse you Boys.
I have Command on my Merc. So I'm not sure for non command cars if they play DVD's at all. Check in your hand book or download one from MB web site.

For other people who have Command you can play Mp3 burnt on a DVD. I set up Folders on the burnt disk in different names so a can browse the folders on the Command Screen.

Good Luck with your new ride.
Cheers
Marty

No i dont have the ipod kit i use the auxiliary and connect it directly to my phone, the wire is pretty long so i close the glove box after i connect it and keep my phone in the cup holder. Congratz on your new car.

Oh I see, are u satisfied with only having the auxiliary? I'm leasing my new white c300 and I wanted to get the UMI package but they don't have a white on black c300 4matic with umi, umi is the navigation package with iPod kit and USB kit all in one, it's a little bummer that I'll only have auxiliary and cd player but oh well.

How do u hold ur iPhone in the cup holder though? Or u just put it there and not see the screen? And how do u close the glovebox with the cable sticking out? Is there like a hole for the cable to go through so that the glovebox can be closed?

I have the garmin nuvi nav so im pretty satisfied with that, although i got a cpo'd c300 with low mileage so i really didnt get to choose what i wanted although i would have gotten all the extras, such as the speakers. As far as the phone goes i just close the glove box with the wire out, i dont think there is a hole for it, and i just put the phone in the cup holder, there is nothing in there to hold it.

The stock audio system will not read audio dvd's :

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...dvd-audio.html

I would assume it would not recognize a data DVD either...

( but, it will read MP3's from a cd )

That is unrelated to this original posting but odds are the laser needs cleaning or something in the system is failing. Does it do it for all discs?
