Right now I'm using a casset with the aux wire coming out. I basically just forced the lid closed and am pinching the wire. It works but I'm wondering if you guys have figured out a better solution? Change the sterio? But then I don't want to loose the functionality of the steering wheel buttons.

Mine has an AUX in the glove box.

You have two options. Replace the head unit with aftermarket one and use an adapter to keep you steering wheel controls. You'll have to do a bit more work if you intend to use the same factory amp or you will have to add an amp and you can still use the factory speakers.

Second option is to follow the directions in the link below to add an aux port. If you have the skill or know someone that does, it shouldn't be too bad.

I think only the C32's with navigation have the aux port.

What year is yours?

What year is yours?

Do you need an aux input, or ipod? I replaced my cd changer in the glove box in my '04 C32 with a Gateway 500 unit, plays the ipod thru the CD circuit beautifully.

i need the aux input.
is there a specific model for mb? and is it an easy install

It is easy, and they (Denison) have many models, just have to order the one they spec for your model/year (my 2004 uses D2B optical, not the MOST architecture in later years). Only tricky part was making the connectors to take the place of the cd changer plugs, had to buy a couple of connector parts from the dealer.

Run it out through your ash tray or similar

another thread with multiple options

I definitely like that option better

If the other factory style plug cannot work for your particular radio you can add a converter with the wires.

My 2007 C280 does not have the white connector to add the Aux jack. I know the pins are available on the back of the radio, does anyone know the pin-out or is able to use an ohm meter to determine what pins on the radio connect to the white connector ?

I think it's pins 11, 12 & 5 ....
