How to add MP3 capability
So I really want to add MP3 capability to my 99 CLK, but I don't really want to spend an arm and a leg to do it. Anyway to do it without either replacing the head unit or using a tape adapter?

another option is, if you are using an ipod, there are several wireless fm transmitters...

So it seems "not replacing the head unit" and "not spending and arm and a leg" are at odds.

Yup, the ice is nice, but $400 is a lot for an aux input. Looks like an aftermarket head unit. Question: Will a single DIN fit flush in a CLK?

Didn't someone post a thread talking about some CKL's having a factory aux input inside the passenger's side glove box? Mine has some sort of input jack there.
