Aux port

I recently bought a 2013 e350 and I'm looking for the aux port location. It is not in the glove box or center console. I'm trying to mirror my phone to the screen. Do I have to use the ami/mmi cable or USB? Those are the only ones I can find.

AFAIK, there is no AUX port on the newer MBs. The standard USB port is the route today.

Good luck mirroring your phone to the Comand Screen. You might look around here for various Apple Carplay/Android Auto workarounds.

It’s in the center console. If my ‘14 has it, so do you. Maybe someone borrowed your MB specific cable. The cable has an iPhone bridge and the aux dongle.

Well, I learn something new everyday.

Ha, yeah but you can only play music from your phone or iPod. No screen mirroring like CarPlay as you indicated without further hardware. So, basically worthless.

I have seen videos and posts of people who have done it using additional hardware but, the first step was finding the connection. I will eventually get an upgraded or updated Android setup. I want this for the time being, so I can use Google maps. The stock GPS is pretty much useless.
