2008 CL63 iPod Interface

Hi All,
Just picked up a wonderful 2008 CL63. Its got an iPod cable in the glove box, unfortunately, its kind of frayed at the connector with this 30pin connector (a metal connector). I can't tell if its the "white" iPod connector or not. It seems like the cable comes directly from the car rather than some port in the glovebox. Does anyone have more context around this? And if so, what kind of 30pin-to-AUX or 30pin-to-Bluetooth connector works?
I'll attach a picture shortly.

Thanks

Check out this NAVIKS system. Your stock screen could be used for Apple Carplay or Android Auto. I have it in mine and I love it. Works seamlessly.
