Unhappy CL500 & Ipod Plug in the glove compartment?

Hi,

When i purchased my CL500 i noticed that the previous owner had something hooked up to an auxiliary input located in my glove compartment(it looks like a headphone input or something). I was just wondering if this could be used to play my ipod? I really hate the FM transmitters and Disc Changers. Also there's no button for it on my screen...what to do. Also how does your CL drive in the snow? This week I had the worst experience with this car and snow.

I run my ipod through the aux in the glove box. And when I press cd on my console then it accesses my cd changer.

I have a 2003 cl500.

'04 CL55 and all I have is a cap where the Auxiliary connector WOULD be if the car had it. Never quite figured this out, but on the left side of the glove box either your CL has it or it doesn't.

Re Experience with CL in the snow....

4 winter tires, plus at least 100 lbs. extra weight in the trunk - and very sensitive right foot on the gas pedal - are requirenents in ice and snow......

OK basically it was an auxiliary input. in order for you to use it you have to press the svc button then i think the "more" option then u will see the auxiliary option then your set. I use my i phone to play music and take calls. And when i take the calls everything runs through the speakers so I'm hands free.
