iPod for C55?
I am wondering if you can install iPod on C55. I found a some connection in the glove box on side wall. Has anybody done it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, its an auxillary input and will work with your iPod with the appropriate connector. We utilize this on our E500. Unfortunatley it does not charge the iPod nor can you manipulate the menus/songs via the cars' audio controls. I believe you can purchase an ICELINk that interfaces through the CD changer input that will allow you to control the unit thorugh the cars' audio controls and charge it while it is in use.

I also hardwired an extra cig. light plug in the center console (in the bottom part) and hid all of the wires for it. I had bad engine noise, so I purchased a Ground Loop interface from Radio Shack, and it cleared it up.
If you need specifics, let me know.

http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/ makes a mounting bracket that I made a custom cradle from by adapting the Belkin cupholder cradle a bit. I did this for my Dell DJ15, but I believe the same can be done for an iPod.

If you have the stock tape deck, you can hardwire an aux input that makes your tape deck non-functional. That's what I have in mine, but I can't speak on the technical stuff cuz I didn't do it. An electrical engineer buddy did all the work for me.
