Question I NEED HELP

Hi Guy’s

I need help… I have a auxiliary jack( Female Jack) in my 2005 clk500 glove box I need a cable to plug into the jack and into the iPod to allow me to play the iPod through my car audio, so I called MB for a price on cable. Parts guy stated they don’t sell this cable I should check Radio Shack??? I have seen many threads here were people Install aux jacks in their glove box for I ipods where do they get there cables? I checked on eBay and could'nt find one?

Please let me know.

Thank you
Paul

I think what the dealer meant is that they don't sell the cable alone but sell it only as an Ipod kit. Btw, I think you still need the dealer to turn on the Ipod recognition feature.

The dealer is right, you can buy the cable at Radio Shack for $5.00. I ran it just under the console and out the drivers side and it works great with the IPOD
