I'm new to the site and neeed help w/2002 E320 Wagon to hook up my Ipod!! I have Navi Command but cannot locate this Aux jack in the glove box everyone iz talking about. Help anyone!!!!

 

Its on the left side of the glove box. Little hole "Auido Jack". Just go to Radioshack and buy a audio cable with two male ends. It looks like a plug for earphones.

 

do e320's WITHOUT navi have this feature...? i didn't realize...i have an 02 sedan and never heard of this feature, but i don't have navi on this car.

 

I've had the glove box out of our '02 wagon (non-Navi) and sure never noticed any connection for audio...

 

My 03 wagon (non-Navi) does not have any connection either. I think it is a Nav only thing.

 

From what I understand only select W210's have the jack in the glove box on those with Command systems. Non-Command W210's do not have a jack.

 

now have a unit for the later models,contact them

Thanks for the reply ...James! I'm off to da Shack.

 

yet another device that will not work with our newer bose amps...damn...just heard back from them, this won't work on 98-02 stock stereos.

 

Then for their fm modulator kit,it works,it cheap,it do the job!!!!!

Griffin also has a nicer better working one for 80-90 bucks I'm picking up one and will tell you how it works with the benz funky antenna system.

I had the Griffin iTrip and I wasn't crazy about it, especially where I live. After trying out a few of these things I recommend the Monstor iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...d_i=B00019068G

 

Road trip....picked it up today...has an extension that swivels and lets you move the nice looking unit for viewing,charges the ipod video,so you can leave the backlight on the pod display,sounds great,it must have a strong transmitter,when i tried it in the house I hooked it up to my laptop downstairs about 40 ft. and no static on the bang and olufsen upstairs.
I suppose you could hard wire it in to an ignition on 12 volt source and really make it look built in,but this way I can move it between cars.

at least it is a solution for ipod users and having used it all afternoon it sounds great in our area and we have a lot of strong stations in the puget sound area.
and now i can play the ipod in the garage when I'm working on the MG's.

 

just curious here, but why do you use the subject heading in replies to start a sentence ??? :lol:

none of those FM transmittors are as good as a hardwired connection, IMHO. the tape adapter worked great, except for the mercedes sound system beeping because the tape deck wasn't shut all the way. once i get around that i should be fine.

 

works,no static,great volume,looks nice in black,and none of that tape sound you get in the cassette ones.This one sounds every bit as good as the ipod link hard wired in my wifes conv beetle.JMTC.

The reason?It gets you to read




the post

 

lol i read posts anyway, don't need the added incentive!

i dunno, the ones i've used are terrible in my car at least, maybe it's the area i'm in, and i don't get a cassette sound w/ the adapter i have. just the annoying mercedes beep!

 

hang on . . . . I have an '02 E430 4-Matic with Nav, and one little hole on the inside left of my glove box. The hole is empty.

Does anyone have a pic?
Am I missing the obvious?

Help . . . . . . .

 

Just go to Radioshack and buy a audio cable with two male ends. It looks like a plug for earphones. Plug it into the hole and the other end to your Ipod, its "magic". Go to Aux on your Navi and it works. Push the system button and you will find it. I also remember a site that sold a kit that pluged into your factory harness to add audio plug for the Ipod. (Mercedes part) I think it was called Eginsoft something like that.

 

Mike430Sport,
I understand. I have the hole in the glovebox that everyone talks about. I tried to plug the adapter in it, but there's no plug/adapter there to receive the IPOD headphone wire!!!! That's the problem . . . . . . . .

 

i just tried it again this morning and there's no plug/adapter there . . . . . . . in other words i can fish the wire through the hole in the glovebox . . . . . .

I thought mine was just a hole at first but it is there. Problem for me is the volume needs to be very high, no power recharge and I don't like driving with the glove box open (either for a separate charger or so that I can easily select music), but it does work.

 

Dear MBNJ:

ok. i have the hole. i stuck the plug through it and it flops down!!!! where's the receiving end?! e.g., straight back, down? i'm so anxious to have it work . . . . . . thanks.

 

Mine is where I said it was, don't know where yours is. Did you buy yours new? Could a previous owner have used the auxl for a different device that was modded and removed for sale?

 

MBNJ:
ah ha . . . . you may be onto something. I had an XM Commander Unit installed in my ashtray. It works off of the AUX setting. Do you think they took that plug from the glovebox and used it for the XM????
I will ask the installer . . . .
thank you.

 

anybody got info for ipod setup for 2003 e320....
