2005 E320 CDI (US spec) - AUX Input?
I would like to add Bluetooth capability to this car.
But first I need to determine if it has an AUX input to the sound system?
Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

I have the same exact car the aux will be in the glove-box I run MPow Bluetooth Receiver , works perfect for what it is only had it about a month seems to be holding up hid the wires behind the plastic that runs up to a usb charger.
This is not a factory Bluetooth so it wont work with the steering wheel setup, the reason I did not setup a factory one is they do not allow you to play music through them.

Here is a image of the Aux thanks to Benzworld.

Thanks a million, Jeff, for the info and photo. A big help.
I had looked several times and hadn’t seen it.
(I have to get out of the car and look up to see it.)

Jeff, another question, please.
I don't care about music but would prefer to be able to answer a call with the buttons on the steering wheel.
Neither of the two aftermarket systems I’m told are compatible offer that.
Does MB offer such a device?

They do offer a factory Bluetooth setup but I sadly don't know enough with the factory Bluetooth setup, I know in the center console then there are different versions of the adapter/puck. I also know they range in price based on adapter. I really never looked into it after I found out it only works with calls.
I have uploaded a generic photo of the adapter and where it plugs in.

Again, thanks.
I'll check with the dealer.
However, since the car didn’t come with a phone I don’t believe it is wired to accept a MB Bluetooth puck.

I used the aux input for a year and got tired of the wires. It worked good though.

I just installed this last week. I’ve just used it a couple of times so still evaluating. It was pretty much plug n play, had to tap 1 wire for power.
