Replace iPod cable with Aux

Folks, read a few post on Aux port addition but not sure if anyone has tried converting their iPod cable to Aux. I have moved to Android a few years back and miss listening to my music and Podcast directly on my car Audio, I have tried 1-2 after market FM transmitters but too much distortion.

It seems they used to sell Adapters in the past to convert iPod connector to Aux. I even ordered one a while back from ebay, never arrived and they cited out of stock. (Edit: Correction, I eventually got one from Amazon but it did not work, did not get any sound, tossed it right away thinking it may not be that simple)

So any easy way to achieve that. I really do not care if I loose the iPod/iPhone connectivity completely. My whole family is an Android family. If i were to just buy that Aux Cable mentioned in a few threads here and swap it, will that simply work (via the Command unit).

Hopefully car bluetooth (original came with the car) for the phone function will not work with my Android to stream music, correct. If it does, I will truly feel like an idiot.

Specs: 2009 Clk 350 cab, Sports/Entertainment Pkg, Navi, CD Changer, Bluetooth, iPod White connector with Black after market connector for charging. NO Aux port in the glove compartment. Just iPod cable.

Factory BT will not stream. But, your car should have the AUX input installed. Check for the 2.5mm plug on the outboard side of the glove compartment. If it's there, all you need to do is uninstall the iPod interface and it will work.

There is a factory option for this, but it will cost you well over $1000 just in parts. I have the aftermarket mCar module (http://www.mcar.us)
