iPod adapter... does it work with other mp3 players?

Is it compatible with all mp3 players, or only iPods? And if iPods, is it compatible with all iPods (even those tiny Shuffles) or only certain gen/models?

If you had the aux adapter that used the 3.5 mm jack in the glove compartment, you could've used any mp3 player. If you have the actual iPod interface, you can only use an iPod.

Andy | I'm not sure if it works for HU's pre '05. For my stock HU (Audio 20) the way I tested on my car was to hold down the CDC (CD Changer) button and see if the screen displayed AUX ACTIVE or something like that. If it works, then you can install that walkman cord into your glove. Forget this and just get a double-din with all the bells and whistles already!

For the parts, install, etc, I followed this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...layer-etc.html

I do have a cord laying around if anyone needs one.
