Did the 2008 C300/350 have a "Line In" audio option?

I have a 2008 C350 with a factory ipod integration kit. The 2008 was different in this regard than the following years as it did not have the newer Media Interface with the Media Interface connection in the dash that you would plug a ipod or line in adaptor into. The 2008 has a simple 30 pin ipod cable coming out of the right side of the glove box through a hole with a rubber grommet around it. From the pictures i've seen on the other side of the cable is a connection that looks similar to a network jack.

Just wondering if this year had a generic "line in" 3.5mm audio option as well, if so I might want to try to order that cable. Looking anything up on this always floods all results with the 2009 and up w204 media interface cable system, nothing really touches on the 2008.

[Edit]
I've found a picture here from Pelican Parts that shows what looks like my model but with a headphone jack mounted in the hole that the ipod cable is coming out of:

It's in a guide for disassembling the glove box and says your car may have either a ipod cable or a line in jack here. But that's the extent of the information I can find.

Thanks!

My 2008 model has just a generic 3.5mm line-in. It's on the right-side of the glovebox.

Not sure how Rayvan's was setup but for me when he says it is on the right side of glove box it means right side of glove box, not in the glove box either.
