MB CLK200K 2007 with audio 20

Hi everybody
can you advice the p/n of the aux. cable to use with my audio20.
Also please inform if instead i use an fm modulator with a 12v charger for my ipod nano 3rd gen. to connect to a free fm station,the quality will be acceptable.
Last,my car is equipped and wired with bluetooth telephony,please inform if i purchase the ipod kit b67824558 will it need programming?

Also regarding the aux. cable there is definetely no white plug by the passenger door [checked all cable assemblies],could it be connected at the backside of the audio 20 HU?

Looking forward for your help

Regards

Have another look for the white plug in the passenger door sill, mine was buried under other cables and close to the footwell.

Basically, you have to open up the dashboard, starting from around the gear shifter, then the ashtray, then AC controls, then the top buttons panels, to expose the 4 screws that mount the headunit (2 on top, 2 on bottom). Below I'm attaching some mediocre pictures for any help (it was dark and I was working alone, along with holding a flashlight lol).

Once the headunit is out (you wont be able to pull it out too much since its got other wires connected, and there isnt any need to either), if you're looking straight at the back of the headunit, there is a big (i think theyre called quadlock) connector on the top right. One end of the AUX connector goes in here. At this point, I turned the car to ACC to check if the AUX worked and if I had plugged into the right spot, and I did.

Instead of trying to get the other side of the AUX connector (the side in which you plug in the AUX wire) into my glove compartment, I just let it be behind the headunit, plugged in the AUX wire (see the white Belkin wire), and ran the wire behind the dashboard, then under the gear shifter, through a small pre-made hole in the arm rest compartment. This way I didnt have a wire hanging out of glove box, and I could plug in the music player and keep it in the arm rest box.

Hope this helps. I'm a terrible DIYer and probably could have done a lot cleaner job, but at least it worked.
