I have 2005 C55 and bought kit (B6 782 42 19) from dealer. I read everything I could find on forums and tried install myself. No problem removing components. Pluged in harness and dash display shows iPod connection and recognizes my unit but no sound thru speakers. Also no sound from radio or CD.

I got the installation instruction instructions from a dealer (can't see pictures well becaused faxed) hoping I missed a simple step. I see two things I missed and hoping either would solve my problem.

1. Instructions say to disconnect AUX jack from Comand unit. I tried unpluging everything and even testing wires with ohm meter and I can't determine which one is AUX jack.

2. Instructions say if vehicle does not have telephone (mine does not) to change menu with Star Diagnosis tool to show "Telephone Available". This must be done by dealer.

Can anyone help me determine if either of these would be the source of my problem before I put the car back together and bring it to the dealer?

Thank you. joe

the Ipod connects through an adaptercable...there is nothing that can go worng with that and there is no need to take out the AUX wiring (black/yellow/brown/shield in one cable)...did you press the CDC for 2 seconds when listening to Ipod?

greetingz,

Unfortunately, I can't listen to the iPod, there's no sound. By the way, what's CDC?

Another person mentioned transfering the orange fiber optic cables to the new connector. I did not do this thinking the new harness accounts for it. I'll try that tonight. I'm glad to hear I don't have to remove the AUX cable. thanks, joe

I think Steve meant CD Changer (CDC)

Well, the orange fiber optic cables were the problem. You have to transfer them to the new harness. This is not mentioned in the installation instructions but I guess a real MB tech would know this.

It appears I still have to have the dealer change the system to indicate I have a telephone because the only feature that does not work is the phone button on the steering wheel does not change the iPod menu.

Thanks everyone for your help.

If anyone needs help doing this install let me know.

where can i get the install instructions for Ipod integration kit on a 2005 E class. I want to do it myself, but I want to see the instructions first, BEFORE I go and purchase it. Thanks

Does this install also work for the C32?

The E-Class is a total front to back rewire. Think twice about it.

benzmodz

It does not.
